No proprietary GIS can compete.

David,
I've been working on something (I think is interesting) with Linux
Phones. I have GeoMoose/Mapserver running on a phone as a standalone server,
and can even print over bluetooth/wifi from the phone. It's a little research
project, but it's interesting to see that most things are simply a
configuration exercise. Very little coding so far.
I may play around with some OL interfaces as well, and/or add some
gesture controls to GeoMoose.
The general idea is to run the mapping locally (and in the background as
much as possible) if the phone network goes away, and to sync with the home
service if/when the network is available.
I'm about 70% done, but it's a filler project and doesn't get a lot of
dedicated focus, but I'm overdue on a report about it, so it needs to move
along.

I am working on a presentation focused on, "What's New and Cool in
OpenSource Geospatial" for a group of GIS professionals. This group is most
familiar with the proprietary ESRI stack, but there is a growing awareness and
interest in OpenSource.
My goal is to introduce people to cool projects or features, highlighting
events and improvements from the past year. I am thinking of categories
including software, databases, community, and open data.
I would greatly appreciate any ideas that people have on new or noteworthy
developments in OpenSource geospatial. Think about new projects, new features,
optimizations, events, use cases, etc.
Please feel free to email me off-list or just respond to this message.
Thank you very much,
David Fawcett
