[OSGeo-Discuss] Successful FOSS4G use case needed especially in government sector
Hi all, I'm Sanghee Shin from Seoul, Korea. I hope somebody remember me. I presented activities of OSGeo Korean language L.C. to you at AGM this conference. Anyway.. I was invited to a national research institute(KRIHS) in Korea which supports policy making of Korean central government a month ago. There I presented what is FOSS4G and how can it be used in government sector. The mood was very good and they showed much interest in FOSS4G at that time. However, frankly to say, almost all the Korean GIS market - especially in government sector - have beent dominated by proprietary s/w yet and KRISH don't have enough courage to persuade central government to use FOSS4G at this point. KRISH still have uncertainty and doubt on FOSS4G. After coming back to my seat in my office from Cape Town, I got a phone call from KRISH researcher. She said that she wanted to include those successful case of FOSS4G use in another government into their report which should be submitted to Korean central government. She added that FOSS4G could be a good option for Korean government's next gis project. Since KRISH didn't know much about FOSS4G in real case, they needed true proven case of FOSS4G use in government sector. Therefore I'm writting a letter to you to request your help. Please let me know any successful case of FOSS4G in your country. Web site, implementation history, your experiences... and kinds of materials will be useful to me. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Sanghee Shin p.s. ) To market FOSS4G, how about creating a wiki page to collect those kind of successful story of FOSS4G? ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Dear Sanghee Shin, IN case of MapServer you can find its applicaitons' gallery under: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/gallery IN European structures there is a cell dealing with e-government, called IDABC, which runs a Open Source Observatory. Lately OSO has been active within GIS. In case o Belgium I know a succesfull applicaiton, presented by Lieven raes at CASCADOSS workshop - a software project called GeGIS - dealing mainly with farmers' field inventory via web service (tWFS application). You can find the details under http://www.cascadoss.eu/en/images/Workshop/gegis_workshop.pdf Best regards: Raf Dr. Rafal Wawer K.U.Leuven R&D Division SADL (Spatial Application Division) Celestijnenlaan 200e bus 2224 BE-3001 Leuven-Heverlee Belgium tel. 0032 16 329731 - Original Message - From: "Judit Mays" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "OSGeo Discussions" Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 1:28 PM Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Successful FOSS4G use case needed especially in government sector hello Sanghee Shin, I was at the same AGM, presenting the deegree software project, which is currently in OSGeo-incubation. If you go to the deegree site at http://www.deegree.org - "About" - "Gallery", you will find a long list of projects that have been carried out in different kinds of institutions both governmental and private industry, using deegree software (LGPL). I am sure, there are similar examples from other software and projects.

Sanghee, I understand your question because I've had it asked from me a number of times too, and we should ensure we have answers as part of our Marketing Plan. I've started building up a wiki with links to various case studies which should be of help: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Case_Studies (I encourage others to add links in here if their favourite case studies are not referenced).
