[Aust-NZ] Update on who is doing what with FOSS4G in AustNZ [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Try http://www.os2020.org.nz for one example based on an OSGEO stack

Gone live this afternoon. One public example of what we are doing :-)


Internally, NIWA uses Geonetwork, Postgis, OpenLayers & mapserver in a number of systems, which of course means we are using GDAL, Proj.4 & GEOS behind the scenes as well.

Also a little GRASS & some GMT.
