Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Successful FOSS4G use case needed especially in government sector
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).

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.

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.
