The reports are both in-depth and worth looking. The meeting on the 19th day has been opened, and there will be another meeting in Switzerland in May.

I have just read a post in the mapserver email list about the difficulty of the interoperability between ESRI's arc products and other similar products. It is hoped that, under the impact of open source, some new things and ideas will be brought to the conservative GIS industry: openness.

Many overseas bloger and 3 s related websites are reporting about the open source geospatial Foundation. In contrast, there are no other reports except 3 snews from last year's mapserver Foundation in China.

The following are links to some reports extracted from the open source geospatial Foundation website:
