Hello all, I wonder how the prize can influence the participation to the survey. Personally, I don't want to win a product which is deliberately closed and whose interoperability with other products/systems is not a priority. Isn't that putting it in contrast with OGC leading principles? regards, Anne -- http://gis.cri.fmach.it/ghisla/ > Bruce Bannerman > > > > -- Forwarded Message > From: OGC Press Release > Reply-To: , > Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 06:54:14 +1100 > To: > Subject: [OGC Press Release] Take the 'Business Value of OGC > Standards' Survey! > > > PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > For information about this announcement, contact: > > Contact: > Steven Ramage > Executive Director, Marketing and Communications > Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) > http://www.opengeospatial.org/contact > > --- > > > *** Win an Apple iPad 2 Tablet, an Apple iPod touch or Bose AE2 > headphones! *** > > The survey is a joint effort by two academic researchers who are OGC > members and by the OGC Business Value Committee.
