[OSGeo-Discuss] RE: FOSS4G Technology review presentations - Web clients

[Cameron Shorter]

Arnulf,
I'd be interested to hear whether German's offer of comparing webmap 
projects would be of value to you in preparing your foss4g presentation 
about webmapping.

German,
I am very excited by the cross project comparison work you have been 
doing. I have just spent a week at the OSGeo booth at the international 
conference for surveyors, and one of common questions people ask is "I'm 
current using XXX to do YYY, does Open Source provide a tool which could 
do something similar? ... Which would you recommend?"

I'd love to be able to point to, and hand out your webmapping comparison 
table.
So I'd like to have your webmap comparison table and decision tree 
incorporated into the OSGeo LiveDVD which we were handing out at the 
conference, and probably also make it available as a flier. If you can 
create the material, I can help you get the material onto the LiveDVD 
and into OSGeo Marketing channels.
