Hi all,<br><br>I'm releasing a very raw first draft on an e-primer on FOSS4G I'm writing. This e-primer should eventually be included in the e-primer list from <a href="http://www.iosn.net">www.iosn.net</a>. The work is carried out from the Pacific Islands node of IOSN. I did some announcements a while back on this list.
<br><br>As I say this is still a very raw draft, but I'd like some early comments. My goals is not to explain how to do GIS/RS but give enough pointers on what is out there so that people feel that the field is mature and that they feel confident to use FOSS4G professionally.
<br><br>-I'd like to know if I have forgotten any application<br>-I'm looking for writers for the two missing chapters<br>-I have started to request one or two forewords from people involved in the community<br><br>
English is not my first language, so do not worry about it yet.<br><br>Any contribution in the form of added paragraphs is most welcome. These contributors will be acknowledged in the draft.<br><br>I'm planning to have a complete draft by end of the month. We have a GIS/RS conference here (cf
<a href="http://www.picisoc.org">www.picisoc.org</a>) and I'd like a draft ready by then.<br><br>Where to get the first draft? <br><br><a href="http://www.peachymango.org/tiki-index.php?page=FOSS4G">http://www.peachymango.org/tiki-index.php?page=FOSS4G
