Thank you Markus,
I will teach FOSS4G upcoming days. The article appeared right on time
for me to include it in the references (-;
Hopefully it will develop to cover most of the existing FOSS4G projects.
A roadmap of FOSS4G projects?
Rafal,
Recently, I've been writing a small article about FOSS in GIS with focus
on Python applications and researched the history a bit. Here is a list
of dates I've identified:
late 70's - begin of Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS)
late 80's - US Army starts Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
(GRASS)
1998 - GDAL initial revision in CVS
2000 - GDAL gets Python support
2000 - Atlantis Scientific starts OpenEV
2000 - MapServer initial revision in CVS
2001 - OSSIM initial revision in CVS
2002 - Intevation starts Thuban projects
2002 - Quantum GIS initial revision in CVS
2002 - GEOS initial revision in CVS
2002 - MapServer gets Python support
2002 - AVPython for ArcView 3.x published as FOSS
2006 - MapBender gets first bits in CVS
Certainly, only a small part of FOSS4G projects are listed.
Best regards,
