[OSGeo-Conf] My Prague proposal questions

[Karel Charvat]

Dear Cameron,
Thanks. I see political support for Open Source as important aspects for
future grow of market. And also our experience are, that if we will be able
attract big IT vendors, there are also bigger chance to introduce OS for
large solution. Usually it is difficult directly succeed in big tender
(national portals) for smaller companies. We are now working in three
countries and in all countries we are working as partner of local IT market
leaders.
Best regards
Karel

Karel,
I am very impressed with answers here. I think your strategy of engaging 
INSPIRE is excellent. It has potential to attract decision makers and 
sponsors which in turn will likely lead to positive policy and 
purchasing decisions around Geospatial Open Source.
