[Ica-osgeo-labs] Open Source Article

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Phil,
The TerraGeoTech article is very interesting.
And the goog activity mirrors exactly what we are doing with CitySmart
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics
"The company listed efficient transportation, lowering the cost of living,
reducing energy usage, and effective government operations as problems
that have been hard to address despite advancements in technology."
So we are the leaders of needed innovation, they follow our lead.
And we do it ^open^ all the way! Maximizing benefit to society
and innovation to the tools. This world of ours needs FOSS4G!
-Patrick

Sucith has an interesting argument for Open over proprietary. This article reinforces it
