GREAT,
I saw a poster for Friday's Canadian Interoperability day at the Plaza
hotel. I can't find much info about what it actually is, but I think
I'm going to check it out if anyone else wants to meet up there.
I think it might be a booth exhibit but maybe some other stuff including
a talk migh
I thought I might put in my two cents worth. more from a philosophical
and change management approach.
I have found that to make the full jump to FOSS4G might be overwhelming
for some. may I suggest a stepped approach where you run both FOSS and
proprietary solutions in tandum and then pahse pro
What you are suggesting is similar to the OWS-4 put together by OGC
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/pub/www/ows4/index.html)
This approach might even be able to be setup and organized BEFORE the
conference and maybe even have some role playing or mock-ups at the
conference.

This could also be something a local chapter or local interest group
might be able to provide. It's volunteering I know, but it's a thought
if vendors aren't on board.
Maybe for vendors the real question is "how does my participation make
me the most money". Answer that question and they might be
Alright,
Here are some other thoughts.
First off what about a open office (open base) type approach... This
mimmics the ESRI MSAccess approach and seams to work well for non server
environments. Also open office is a good environment for some basic
applications.
Next, what ever happened to the a
Just a short response,
The best reception I ever got about open source in government was by saving a
project (in the gov) a measureable amount of money (enough to have someone take
a risk on saving money anyhow) and by drasticaly increasing productivity. This

Hey Folks,
Just wondering if there is still thought out there from the previous
thread about a portable and open geodatabase. I came across the nemesis
project "an experimental finite element code. Utilizes SQLite to store,
handle and retrieve geometry and analysis data. "

Well, GDAL is close to the FOSS4G community so why not start with this
and see where we can go? I think OSGEO even has some capable expertise

Ahh.. Metadata
I am learning about Qgis plugins lately and thought I would extend out
to the OSGEO community at large. As I am going through creating some
plugins and learning about OWS services and trying my hand at a
catalogue plugin for QGIS I got to thinking, what does the open source
world do
For those OSGEO folks heading to Geoweb in Vancouver, this pre-conference
technical meeting may be of interest.
See contact info within, as this event is separate from the actual Geoweb
Conference.

Hey Folks,
I have recently used the OWSLIB library
(http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/OwsLib) for some python based
plugins in QGIS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/qgiscommunitypl/). I am

I am looking for an open source project that has implemented OpenLS
specification from OGC.
I know their are some groups working on this
* PAGC (on their road map)
* OpenRouter (any code yet?)
* OpenGeocoder (any code yet?)
I am looking to see if anyone has this OUT OF THE BOX and ready to

There is also a small community of FOSS advocates growing using the Government

If you are a federal employee in Canada check out the FOSS4GOC group and also

This was an interesting resource passed around our offices I thought the
OSGEO community might appreciate.
