Who else will have project comparison material developed for FOSS4G
which you would like incorporated into the OSGeoLive DVD to be handed
out at FOSS4G?<br>
<br>
German,<br>
As mentioned earlier, I think that comparison summaries like this one
you have created is hugely valuable to new users considering migrating
to Open Source.<br>
The first question I usually get at an OSGeo marketing booth is "What
should I use to do XXX?"<br>
I'll send you some detailed feedback and suggestions directly.<br>
<br>
What I'd like to do is hear from everyone who is planning to create
comparison material, and then agree on a common format for presenting
that material.<br>
<br>
Below are presentations which may be candidates:<br>
<pre>39,"Mobile","Comparativa",271,"A comparison of GIS mobile applications","Miguel Montesinos","PRODEVELOP",
61,"Desktop","3D",254,"Comparison of Open Source Virtual Globes","Mathias Walker","Sourcepole AG",
50,"Standard","Comparativa",138,"Comparison of SOS-Servers: 52°North, UMN and deegree ","Mayer Christian","terrestris GmbH & Co KG",
5,"Comparativas","Caché",137,"TileCache,GeowebCache and MapProxy - a technical and usability comparison","Till Adams","terrestris GmbH & Co KG",
31,"Desktop","Comparativa",363,"Gesopatial Desktop Comparison","Cameron Shorter","Lisasoft",
3,"Comparativas","OGC",81,"Web Mapping Performance Shootout","Jeff McKenna","Gateway Geomatics",
11,"Comparativas","BDD",38,"Beyond PostGIS - New developments in Open Source Spatial Databases","Karsten Vennemann","TerraGIS Ltd",

<div> Hi all. <br>
<br>
I've just finished the english translation of the comparison v.4 [1]. I
did some adjustments to the previous translation (I'm not a native
speaker) as well as other changes you can read in the "What's new in
this version?" section. <br>
<br>
Cameron, if you want, I'm able to send you the source files (html, css,
png...).<br>

Arnulf, <br>
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. <br>
<br>
German, <br>
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?" <br>
<br>
I'd love to be able to point to, and hand out your webmapping
comparison table. <br>
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. <br>
