Hi are the users willing or wanting to do that move? do they have experience (or even training) in GRASS for the 'Indian scene', moving to FOSS GIS is the only way GIS can help at all levels. http://www.covenant-tech.com/thesis.pdf pl follow the link above Cheers Ravi Kumar Jacolin Yves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Le Friday 14 September 2007 02:08:35 Paulo Marcondes, vous avez écrit : 2007/9/13, k4mik4ze : Hello, I would like to know everything about migration proyects from arcGIS to Grass, can i create a web interface so users in a department can access all GIS data?

2007/9/14, RAVI KUMAR [EMAIL PROTECTED]: for the 'Indian scene', moving to FOSS GIS is the only way GIS can help at all levels. Hi Ravi, I feel the same applies here in Brazil. But I feel MS is way too entwined in peoples mind, so a move to FOSS generally is a hard way. With GIS I would say that big Corps (like the one I work to) are not going to FOSS, mainly because money is not an issue. Govs on the other side, have to be persuaded, and we are seeing a slow, but seemingly steady movement in that direction. -- Paulo Marcondes = PU1/PU2PIX -22.915 -42.224 = GG86jc Debian GNU/Linux = http://rj.debianbrasil.org = http://www.debian.org http://www.kombato.org - Seja seu próprio guarda-costas ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] arcGIS and Grass compatibility
hallo Ravi, I can affirm your points about india. My experiences on a project in Chennai about flood prevention, wich we almost finished, was that for most of the planning authorities GIS = ArcGIS or MapInfo. If they use GIS at all. But on a workshop with the authorities held in Chennai most of them were deeply impressed when we showed them our mapbender-geoserver-postgis-Kombination (wich is standard) to provide an internet-based tool to collect spatial knowledge from stakeholders. And I'm sure, this is not very special for india.
