[Geo4All] [OSGeo-Discuss] The future of Geo is Open

[Franz-Josef Behr]

Dear Suchith,


Eddie Pickle, DigitalGlobe, gave an inspiring presentation at our ICA 
commission's workshop last weekend: How and why open source software has 
become mainstream for GIS.


A PDF of his presentation is available at our commissions website [1].


Best regards - Franz-Josef
