Congratulations to the whole GeoMoose team!
I always find it interesting to read about the origins of a project or
piece of software, and this one was no exception. May I suggest that you
add a copy or ref to the history on your website if it's not already
present? Or even link to it from the "See also" section at the end of
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Source_GIS_History ?
I guess this is also an invitation to other projects to help populate
the Open Source GIS History page at
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Source_GIS_History
Cheers
Daniel

All (reposting, entirely on purpose),
If you ever wondered about the what, where and why GeoMoose came into
being, you can now read about it. Go to the link below and click on the
“Complete nomination” link. This is a very good write up about the
origins and its current perceived effectiveness by users. Oh, and
GeoMoose won an Award too!!

*Subject:* [Geomoose-users] Governor's Commendation
This may have been posted to the list already, but GeoMOOSE has been
awarded a Governor's Commendation by the Governor of Minnesota. If you
don't think this is a big deal, please check out the link and subsequent
application (18 pages!). Just to get the application written required a
lot of dedication.
Read about it here:

I wish to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on this
proposal. Those of you who have taken the time to write down your
thoughts on GeoMOOSE, its development, its past, and its future, really
took me by surprise. Writing software and working on these projects can
be very fulfilling on their technical merits alone. Writing the
software and getting presented with cases where it has mattered and
helped pushes it far past fulfilling; it makes it feel rewarding.
Seeing 18 pages come together from some of the very over worked,
unappreciated, and usually under paid professionals I've grown to know
in this community is nothing short of humbling.
Thank you everyone. Very much. Let's keep up the good work. :-)
