Thanks for your application. I've read through it, and it seems
that i3Geo does indeed fit all the criteria we are looking for for
an osgeolive application.<br>
<br>
One thing I am noticing is the number of open source geospatial
portal applications that are appearing, which I will discuss in
another email thread, as I think it is applicable to i3Geo (and
other applications).<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi, We want to propose a new app for OsGeo-Live_DVD.
The application is 'i3Geo', a geoportal framework from Brasil; this software is well known in Brasil since 4 years at least, and have a community of several thousand users.

the Brazilian Public Software Portal in 2007. To be in Software
