The reason of this abundance is simple: the actual system has fundamental weak points <a href="http://www.volksnav.de/fundamental">www.volksnav.de/fundamental</a>, that means, the emperor is naked. I’m sure, the number of applications will increase when students all over the world – other than today - will be motivated to be creative. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The poster <a href="http://www.volksnav.de/evolution">www.volksnav.de/evolution</a> shows the actual “open” situation: the geoAwareness for locations, directions, distances and angles degenerated to left/right commands and left/right confusions. OSGeo could easily be the link to the new homo sapiens. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>According to my experience, in this special case „free and open“ will have a complete other meaning as wanted against vendors: it will be understood that anyone can anytime define a “better” standard. A cartographer from the Nederland divides the horizon into 10 directions and call this more “natural” than mine because “we have 10 fingers”. Do you agree with this argument? Are you the opinion that an orientation standard should be free to be violated?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Let’s compare my invention with the UN open GIS logo contest: why would UN pay for a logo?

I’ve suggested to think about a start with a standardization of the circle “r100” <a href="http://www.volksnav.de/r100">www.volksnav.de/r100</a> but your free/open police department impedes any dialog about benefits for the population. r100 is only 0,005% of the invention, should also be a standard for TACTILE and imaginary maps <a href="http://www.volksnav.de/iphoneApps">www.volksnav.de/iphoneApps</a> and would be my basic proposal for the Geographic Awareness Week. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Let’s propose it together or have I to do it alone?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Henrique<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
