Daniel, here is some feedback from one of the Australian agencies, I'm
hoping for more feedback in the next day or so:
I'd like to see where an organisation has successfully implemented OS
Spatial products, including:
- what drove them to do this
- what evaluation they did
- what benefits they found
- what problems they faced and how they overcame them
- unresolved issues
- integration with existing spatial products and IT infrastructure
- future plans

Cameron,
What type of a document are you looking for? In other words how much
detail and what focus? We might be able to find something that exists
with respect to this EPA effort, or we could perhaps put it together.

Dr Dan Ames,
Gary suggested that you might be able to provide a case study or
similar
into the EPA's migration from ESRI to Open Source.
Specifically I have some Australian Government Agencies who would be
interested to use such work, and in general, such case studies
would be
very beneficial for the uptake of Open Source globally.
