Geospatial FOSS?
Miguel,
Based upon my very limited Spanish, and skimming the titles,
these look like excellent case studies.
Do you think these would be any chance of encouraging the
responsible departments to translate to English?
The business case for a sponsor is that sponsoring a Case
Study will greatly increase the chance that other agencies
will also migrate to Open Source, which in turns means these
agencies will invest in Open Source which is good for all Open
Source users.

Hello Cameron,
In Spain there are several case studies.
Valencian Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport
is under a
project of migrating "all" systems to open-source software[1]. As a
matter of fact, that was the reason to build gvSIG[2]. All
geospatial
infrastructure (previously with ESRI) has been moved to open source
(gvSIG, PostGIS, MapServer, deegree, geoNetwork opensource).[2]
Hydrographic Confederation of Guadalquivir river (Spain). A
migration
of a big part of ESRI components to open-source has been made, with
use of gvSIG, Geonetwork opensource, MapServer, GeoServer,
deegree [3]

I can provide more if you need.

Hi, not sure about the time zones involved in Gary
replying...I think he is referring to:

Gary, please correct me if I am wrong ;)

Yes Gary, that would be great.
Do you know where we can find information about this?
