Alex,
sorry, it was a misunderstanding from my side :-). I started in the
opposite direction: MapInfo, ArcView, Sybase ..
I will try to answer Your question, however I'm afraid that this answer
will be somehow "site specific". What I am trying to do now is to
develop and implement a potential pollution point source database and
preliminary risk assessment system for the Slovak environmental state
administration based on PostgreSQL/PostGIS/Grass/Mapserver. If
everything will go on a good way in March I can start with the work on
demonstration level. I had a presentation related to this system on the
Decision Support for Natural Disasters and Intentional Threats to Water
Security NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Dubrovnik in April
2007, the proceedings will be published soon. I could to put the paper
somewhere to the web or send it to the interested persons, but I am not
sure about the copyright... So, what can I offer to the customer like
the state administration? A relatively cheap, reliable and (what is very
important) a flexible solution. In comparison the proprietary solutions
are expensive (even the cheaper ones) and "hard tailored", it means that
the customer should "tailor" himself to use the application - shortly it
lacks flexibility.

Tomas,
I do not oppose OGC, quite the contrary I started GIS from PostGIS and
qgis, finding them very nice, stable and feature rich. I just didn't
find any public job offerings that would require these skills. I'm sure
that I must be wrong because the stable and developing community along
with many enthusiasts all have to be based on some R&D, scientific and
commercial projects worldwide. That's why I asked in this mailing list
about your opinions - how and where to get GIS jobs with OGC skills.
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
As a GIS industry newcomer, I'm in process of prioritizing my
research steps, selecting tools and technologies that would be mostly
essential and relevant for future job search.
Concerning client software it is quite simple - without ArcGIS you'll
definitely would be out of range. But server mapping has several
I am sure that postgis/grass/qgis(or openjump) users are not missing
ArcView any more.
possibilities - whether to focus on spatial databases - mostly Oracle
Spatial or PostGIS, or to look for server middleware like
GeoServer\MapServer or Oracle MapViewwer. I'm from Oracle space, so
their products are mostly familiar to me.
I like PostGIS for its simplicity, free availability and great
community support. I've already made some demo stands with uDig\qgis
with PostGIS backend and tuned GeoServer to work with PostGIS layers.
But the question is - are there serious business demand for OpenGIS
profies? monster.co.uk, reed.co.uk and gis-jobs.co.uk return no
(zero) jobs with postgis keyword.
What whould you suggest?
Well, while the common opinion will be that "without ArcGIS You'll
definitely would be out of range" it will be no better.

Tomas
Thanks and best regards,
Alex
