[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Standards - Good Practice guidelines

[Suchith Anand]

Colleagues,

These good practice guidelines shared by various European governments will be of interest

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/open_standards_ict/og_page/best-practices-library

Esp. the  action plan for the use of Open Standards and Open Source Software in the public and semi-public sector from Ministry of Economic Affairs , Netherlands is of interest  as they were one of the first ones  to do this at national level (back in 2007!) so they are pioneers. Details at   https://www.ictu.nl/archief/noiv.nl/service/english/index.html

I would also like to thank everyone who supported our Open Letter for the need for Open Standards in LiDAR  http://www.osgeo.org/node/1518   Your support for this has been key for the positive developments now in action  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR_Format_Letter

Best wishes,

Suchith
