[OSGeo-Discuss] Successful FOSS4G use case needed especially in government sector

[Rafal Wawer]

Dear Sanghee Shin,

IN case of MapServer you can find its applicaitons' gallery under:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/gallery

IN European structures there is a cell dealing with e-government, called 
IDABC, which runs a Open Source Observatory. Lately OSO has been active 
within GIS.

In case o Belgium I know a succesfull applicaiton, presented by Lieven raes 
at CASCADOSS workshop - a software project called GeGIS - dealing mainly 
with farmers' field inventory via web service (tWFS application). You can 
find the details under 
http://www.cascadoss.eu/en/images/Workshop/gegis_workshop.pdf

Best regards:
Raf

hello Sanghee Shin,
I was at the same AGM, presenting the deegree software project, which is
currently in OSGeo-incubation.

If you go to the deegree site at http://www.deegree.org - "About" - 
"Gallery",
you will find a long list of projects that have been carried out in 
different
kinds of institutions both governmental and private industry, using deegree
software (LGPL).

I am sure, there are similar examples from other software and projects.

Hope this may help,
Judit
