CCGIS, Germany

Hosting vector geometries in every single spatial data infastructure 
that we set up.

What else should we do?

That our administrator is happy maintaining productive client systems 
using it.

That it does not have enough visibility. We could convince the client to 
set up a demo system - which is very cool - but you cannot really see 
PostGIS a lot. It is invisible software.

Impressing list that is building up in this list. Congrats!

Find all the information regarding our latest project here:
http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/FIONA_-_Online_Agricultural_Subsidy_Application_System

This system will probably be presented at the FOSS4G in Lausanne with 
reference to an OSGeo SDI stack (Mapbender, GeoServer, MapServer). For 
further details please contact uli.rothstein at ccgis.de or 
peter.stamm at ccgis.de or me (I'll be back in three weeks).

More than half the links in the Mapbender Gallery have PostGIS somewhere 
in their architecture, just browse whether there is anything interesting.

The coolest project is probably the OSGeo member list operated at 
telascience that will be up and running for the FOSS4G. Hopefully - if 
that kickstart server starts kicking.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
