[Proj] RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Brief history of GIS OSS (bit offtopic?)

[Rafal Wawer]

Thank you Markus,
I will teach FOSS4G upcoming days. The article appeared right on time  for 
me to include it in the references (-;
Hopefully it will develop to cover most of the existing FOSS4G projects. A 
roadmap of FOSS4G projects?

Best regards:
Raf

Feel free to expand.
