AW: [Qgis-psc] QGIS success stories

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi Otto

QGIS success stories would surely be a great addition to the website.


>project such as Faunalia? / Kanton Solothurn? / ETH Zürich

In Switzerland, Kanton Solothurn (Horst) and city of Uster (Andreas Neumann) would be the best examples for success stories. Because at ETH Zurich, we do more development and research. So I think a story about us would not impress (or even scare) any ArcXY users that plan to switch to open source GIS.

Regards,
Marco

Hi, 

I would like to start with the QGIS success stories for the website. During the
FOSSGIS conference we already asked a few companies and they all want to
contribute. 

Some thoughts:

- The idea is to frequently publish a new success story. Maybe one per month?  
- I would like to start with companies/institutions closely related to the QGIS
  project such as Faunalia? / Kanton Solothurn? / ETH Zürich ?, so others can
  follow. Marco and Paolo, are you interested and do you have a nice success
  story to contribute? I asked Horst already and he is interested as well.
- As Tim already said, the success stories should be formatted in an interview 
  standard format, but it should be simple. I would suggest to have between 600
  and 800 words including one screenshot. As TOC we could use:

a) Title
b) Short background of the company / institute / authority / university (1/4) 
c) Description of the project/application and what QGIS is used for (1/2)
   with a screenshot 
d) Conclusion showing positive experiences/benefits using QGIS (1/4)

any comments?

regards,
 Otto
