Paolo, Your mentioned sponsoring was donated by the Dept. of Geoinformation (SO!GIS) of the Kanton of Solothurn/Switzerland.
At the year 2001 the parliament of the Kanton Solothurn decided to migrate from Windows Desktop to Linux Desktop. At the first step SO!GIS builds up a web based Server/Client GIS framework for more than 2500 clients, based on Linux, PostGIS, Apache/PHP and UMN MapServer. This solution works very successful since 2001. The next step will be to migrate our desktop GIS from ESRI desktop GIS ArcView 3.x/ArcInfo to OS Desktop GIS. We evaluated different systems and we decided to use QGIS in conjunction with GRASS. This decision allowes to substitute the mentioned proprietary systems. But QGIS lacks some essential features, p.e. robust and featured Mapcomposer or a scripting language to extend the basic QGIS desktop with different new features like ArcView3 avenue. We hope that our donation will lead to fill this lacks. Some additional feature enhancements are proposed to the bug trac by me. We hope to reach this target at the end of 2007. So I think more donations will be done by SO!GIS at 2007. For further informations you can take a look at www.sogis.so.ch (unfortunately all in German). The online data shop will be translated to english in the next days. There you can download most of our data for free. Best regards Dr. Horst Düster GIS-Koordinator, Stv.
