[OSGeo-Discuss] FW: [Geomoose-users] (State of Minnesota) Governor's Commendation

[Daniel Morissette]

Congratulations to the whole GeoMoose team!

I always find it interesting to read about the origins of a project or 
piece of software, and this one was no exception. May I suggest that you 
add a copy or ref to the history on your website if it's not already 
present? Or even link to it from the "See also" section at the end of 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Source_GIS_History ?

I guess this is also an invitation to other projects to help populate 
the Open Source GIS History page at
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Source_GIS_History

Cheers

Daniel
