Hello lists,
As you can i see im mailing this message to some lists around the web
(im sorry if thats a problem).
At the moment i am writing my BSc thesis (Geography) focusing the
development of a open source software and database for logging and
analysing traffic accidents in Uberlândia, MG - Brazil.
I am dedicating a chapter in my thesis to explaining Open Source
Software, and OSS for GIS. i searched the web for some
history of OSS in
general, but i found too many different sources. So i come to you,
developers of GIS OSS, to see if you can give me references
of where to
search for the history and process regarding this theme.
George,
Here is number of "keywords" related to history of FOSS4G
and that you may google for and find details:
- Sol Katz
- Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS)
- GRASS History (http://grass.itc.it/devel/grasshist.html)
- UMP MapServer history

Great credits but don't forgot http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ or perhaps

Thanks Gerry !!
Norman,
Yes, I've forgot about these two. Thanks for completing.
