Ravi, Thanks for the kind words about OpenJUMP. They are good to hear.

They were so pleased by OpenJUMP that they made me spend a whole morning and after noon (the only day off I had) 'Mineral prognostication', using 'OpenJUMP'. Front ends being easy, and learning curves (a breeze) matter after all, than how much is packed in a OS-GIS software.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Ravi OSGeo
Great point Ravi. People continually tell me they like MapWindow for its simple GUI. Interestingly I was also training Vietnamese GIS students last week in Ho Chi Minh City. - Dan On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 8:40 PM, Ravi ravivundava...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi Jeff, was teaching a bunch of young kids open source GIS, for 3 days (CSSTEP / IIRS Dehradun, India) 2 of them from Vietnam.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Ravi OSGeo
Hi Ravi, This is great feedback. I agree that generally as a community we put too much emphasis on low-level geospatial code and very little on front-end usability...which is why projects like OpenJump and QGIS shine so brightly. Sounds like you gave a great session! I enjoy giving those sessions to interested students very much. -jeff On 11-01-15 11:40 PM, Ravi wrote: Hi Jeff, was teaching a bunch of young kids open source GIS, for 3 days (CSSTEP / IIRS Dehradun, India) 2 of them from Vietnam.
