[Live-demo] Are there opportunities to collaborate in the GIS Portal market?

Cameron,

sure, adding in our 2 cents for rasdaman:

- purpose: geo raster server with analytics engine
- specifics:
     scalability proven: 10^7 B under operational conditions, 10^9 B being 
established
     multidimensionality: proven with 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, ...
     implements OGC WCS 2.0, WCPS, WPS, WMS simultaneously (candidate reference 
implementation for WCS and WCPS)
     PostGIS, deegree, GDAL, MapServer integration; R under work

...from the latter it is already clear that rasdaman embeds into geo service 
orchestrations. For example, GeoServer and MyGeoCloud are something where I see 
a nice fit, but my feeling is that there is more.

cheers,
Peter

    As we are are planning for our next OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we are now
    seeing a number geospatial portal applications which all seem to be doing
    roughly the same thing, and are being developed independently of each other.
    (see list below)

    It seems to be a crowded market space which would be daunting for purchasers
    looking to find the right project, and which I expect would benefit from a
    level of consolidation.

    I'd like to hear thoughts from stakeholders in each of these projects.
    Am I missing something here, what is unique about your specific project?
    Are there opportunities for collaboration? Merging of functionality between
    projects often has an effort cost up front, but pays off long term as you
    share developers and sponsors across one codebase instead of two.
