Who else will have project comparison material developed for FOSS4G
which you would like incorporated into the OSGeoLive DVD to be handed
out at FOSS4G?
German,
As mentioned earlier, I think that comparison summaries like this one
you have created is hugely valuable to new users considering migrating
to Open Source.
The first question I usually get at an OSGeo marketing booth is "What
should I use to do XXX?"
I'll send you some detailed feedback and suggestions directly.
What I'd like to do is hear from everyone who is planning to create
comparison material, and then agree on a common format for presenting
that material.
Below are presentations which may be candidates:
39,"Mobile","Comparativa",271,"A comparison of GIS mobile applications","Miguel
Montesinos","PRODEVELOP",
61,"Desktop","3D",254,"Comparison of Open Source Virtual Globes","Mathias
Walker","Sourcepole AG",
50,"Standard","Comparativa",138,"Comparison of SOS-Servers: 52°North, UMN and deegree ","Mayer
Christian","terrestris GmbH& Co KG",
5,"Comparativas","Caché",137,"TileCache,GeowebCache and MapProxy - a technical and usability
comparison","Till Adams","terrestris GmbH& Co KG",
31,"Desktop","Comparativa",363,"Gesopatial Desktop Comparison","Cameron
Shorter","Lisasoft",
3,"Comparativas","OGC",81,"Web Mapping Performance Shootout","Jeff McKenna","Gateway
Geomatics",
11,"Comparativas","BDD",38,"Beyond PostGIS - New developments in Open Source Spatial
Databases","Karsten Vennemann","TerraGIS Ltd",

Hi all.
I've just finished the english translation of the comparison v.4 [1].
I did some adjustments to the previous translation (I'm not a native
speaker) as well as other changes you can read in the "What's new in
this version?" section.
Cameron, if you want, I'm able to send you the source files (html,
css, png...).
Regards,
Germán

Hi Cameron.
Sure! I would like it a lot. I plan to publish the 4th version of the
comparison on next month. So far, the decision tree is just an idea,
but I think with enough time it could be done.
Regards.
Germán

Arnulf,
I'd be interested to hear whether German's offer of comparing webmap
projects would be of value to you in preparing your foss4g
presentation about webmapping.
German,
I am very excited by the cross project comparison work you have been
doing. I have just spent a week at the OSGeo booth at the
international conference for surveyors, and one of common questions
people ask is "I'm current using XXX to do YYY, does Open Source
provide a tool which could do something similar? ... Which would you
recommend?"
I'd love to be able to point to, and hand out your webmapping
comparison table.
So I'd like to have your webmap comparison table and decision tree
incorporated into the OSGeo LiveDVD which we were handing out at the
conference, and probably also make it available as a flier. If you can
create the material, I can help you get the material onto the LiveDVD
and into OSGeo Marketing channels.
