[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source usage in European Public Sector

[Guillaume Sueur]

I'd like to add that french agencies are strong supports to OpenSource 
software : French IGN has supported WFS 2.0 implementation in GeoServer, 
BRGM (geological survey) is regularily supporting GeoNetwork throught 
its french fork GeoSource, MeteoFrance has done some good support of 
MapServer, and I'm forgetting much.

Best regards

Guillaume
