[Board] OpenSUSE Board Meeting - anti-patterns abound

[Carl Reed]

Markus -

I am not sure that the Timeline wiki is the proper place for prior art references, although early open source projects are a good source of prior art.

Take a look at:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/4521701/Intellectual-Property-Patents-and-GIS-Web-Mapping

and think about where these references can be made available for use by the community.

Regards

Carl

Excellent. Please add links as appropriate here:
