[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: FOSS4GIS business models

[Lucena, Ivan]

Paolo,

I just got the latest issue of Dr. Dobbs Magazine with this cover-page 
article "South American Software Development":

http://www.ddj.com/architect/205600791;jsessionid=AXESE4MZSIY54QSNDLPCKHSCJUNN2JVN

This article is more focused on Brazil than anywhere else in South 
America. It give a little light on the cultural differences that could 
lead to misunderstanding from outsiders. The article does mention Forum 
participation and language barriers as an issue.

Ciao,

Ivan
