Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Case Studies
Hi Cameron: Cameron Shorter wrote: Excellent. Have I broken the sections in the Case_Studies page up appropriately? You've separated the case studies by technology, but I would guess that some (many?) projects will use a variety of technologies, mixing and matching OSS with proprietary. Another option might be to categorize the case studies by sector: Something like Government, Private, Academic, International,... I don't suppose you'd be tempted to provide a link + explanation line to the case studies from appropriate section in http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Case_Studies I've added a few additional lines to the last sections on writing a case study, with an appeal to contribute to the OSGeo Journal. Does it look suitable to you? Micha Silver wrote: Hello Cameron As discussed recently on this list, case studies are a powerful tool used to sway potential users to Open Source. Quite right, and in addition there is also the Case Studies section of the OSGeo Journal which will continue to be a suitable venue for diseminating implementations of OSS GIS tools. -- Micha Silver Arava Development Co, Sapir, Israel tel: +972(8)6592270 cell: +972(52)3665918 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hello Cameron As discussed recently on this list, case studies are a powerful tool used to sway potential users to Open Source. Quite right, and in addition there is also the Case Studies section of the OSGeo Journal which will continue to be a suitable venue for diseminating implementations of OSS GIS tools. -- Micha Writing a case study about your project gives others the confidence to follow your footsteps which in turn increases investment in your tools of choice. I've started a wiki linking to existing Case Studies: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Case_Studies I strongly encourage projects to invite their users to write Case Studies and link them into this page, and of course link to any existing Open Source related case studies. -- Cameron Shorter Geospatial Systems Architect Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 (0)419 142 254 Think Globally, Fix Locally Commercial Support for Geospatial Open Source Solutions http://www.lisasoft.com/LISAsoft/SupportedProducts.html ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss This mail was sent via Kinneret Mail-SeCure System. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
