[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: CEE FOSS4G projects

2012-05-11 Thread Vasile Craciunescu
As a number of private replies question me about the CEE definition, I'd 
like to bring some clarifications. Geographically speaking, yes, Germany 
and Austria are definitively in Central Europe. Though, I did prefer to 
go with this definition [1] for a couple of reasons:


1. The level of FOSS4G penetration is more or less the same in the 
selected countries. A country like Germany will totally unbalance the 
analysis.


2. There is already a quite successful FOSS4G event for the German 
speaking people (FOSSGIS).


Hope this clarifies a bit my position.

Best,
Vasile

Dear all,

For the FOSS4G-CEE conference I'm preparing a talk entitled State of
FOSS4G in Central  Eastern Europe. By Central  Eastern Europe I
mean the following countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, Bulgaria,
Romania, Ukraine and Rep. of Moldova.

I'm interested in three FOSS4G aspects:

1. Software projects started in this region (or with an very important
contribution from developers in this region);

2. National or regional projects implemented using FOSS4G software;

3. Open geospatial data initiatives.

I'd like to think that I know the most important projects of this kind.
I also did a little bit of research over the Internet. Anyway, any
information of this topics is greatly appreciated.

I hope to see as many as you possible in ten days from now in Prague!

Best,
Vasile

Hello Vasile,

You can try to navigate by country [1] and see several gvSIG case
studies in CEE region.
