I get more questions asking about the differences between FOSS projects than between FOSS and proprietary products. If people are already coming to FOSS4G, or to OSGeo in some other way, they likely already want to use open source but want help choosing a path. I do agree that many wonder how we stack up to proprietary but I hope we stick to what we know best. That is, unless proprietary folks join the shootout. :) Just a thought, Tyler _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
