Open Source Geospatial Foundation: 相关报道和信息

转自基金会网站： http://osgeo.org/news/index.html

其中的报道都是比较有深度的，值得一看。2.4日的会议已经开了，9月份在瑞士还有一次会议。

刚刚在MapServer的邮件列表里还看了一篇帖子，谈到ESRI的Arc产品和其他同类产品的互操作的困难性。希望在开源的冲击下，给保守的GIS行业带来一些新的东西和思想：开放。

国外很多Bloger和3S相关的网站都在报道Open Source Geospatial Foundation的事情，反观国内，从去年的MapServer基金会到这件事情，除了3sNews，没有另外的报道。


以下是Open Source Geospatial Foundation网站摘录的一些报道的连接：
