You've separated the case studies by technology, but I would guess that 
some (many?) projects will use a variety of technologies, mixing and 
matching OSS with proprietary. Another option might be to categorize the 
case studies by sector: Something like Government, Private, Academic, 
International,...

I've added a few additional lines to the last sections on writing a case 
study, with an appeal to contribute to the OSGeo Journal. Does it look 
suitable to you?
