[Contractors] joint marketdevelopment

[Robert Hollingsworth]

Marc,
I'd be interested in hearing more of how your group
of individuals and companies presents itself as a
single entity.  How do the separate players within
this group decide who will take on a particular 
project?  I guess if plates are laden over there,
there's enough work to go around?

I'd be interested in seeing such a "virtual company"
form from participants in N. America (to the extent
that it really matters WHERE people are, because
virtual companies can conduct business in a
"virtual office"?)

I don't sense that the big institutional end-users in
the US are thinking open-source to the extent
that clients outside the US are.  And is open-source
on the radar of large integrators in the US?

... With the booming market in my environment the plates are laden. ... This seems to be the case in The Netherlands, where large integrators are invited for the bigger tenders. Once won, they subcontract most of the technical work to the small OS GIS contractors for a pittance. ...
