[Ricardo Pinho]

> Data is EVERYTHING.

That's correct... you should watch the Arnulf (OSGeo) video @ Foss4g 2016!
foss4g-2016-1060-software comes and goes mind the data [Arnulf] - hd on
Vimeo <https://vimeo.com/187556741>And the KEEP USING OPEN FORMATS is the
only way to have full access and control of YOUR DATA!!!
Don't let them fool you, only TRUE FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE can guarantee
interoperability!

There are fantastic and enterprise REAL FREE OPEN SOURCE alternatives to
Mapguide OS and AIMS:
