[OSGeo-Discuss] Case studies for migrating to Geospatial FOSS?

[Miguel Montesinos]

Hello Cameron,
 
In Spain there are several case studies.
 
Valencian Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is under a project of migrating "all" systems to open-source software[1]. As a matter of fact, that was the reason to build gvSIG[2]. All geospatial infrastructure (previously with ESRI) has been moved to open source (gvSIG, PostGIS, MapServer, deegree, geoNetwork opensource).[2]
 
Hydrographic Confederation of Guadalquivir river (Spain). A migration of a big part of ESRI components to open-source has been made, with use of gvSIG, Geonetwork opensource, MapServer, GeoServer, deegree [3]

I can provide more if you need.

	Hi, not sure about the time zones involved in Gary replying...I think he is referring to:

	Gary, please correct me if I am wrong ;)

		Yes Gary, that would be great.
		Do you know where we can find information about this?
