Re: Open Source GIS workshop in DC 28 Sept

Hi Ken,

just a very short notice - on slide 6 of 
http://www.ccurisa.org/files/Opensource_GIS_Slides.pdf you refer to 
deegree. "deegree" ist written with two "double-e's". But what is more 
important - OGC ist the "Open Geospatial Consortium", not the 
"Opensource GIS consortium" as stated. The distinction between openness 
in regard to interfaces and standards (OGC) and openness in the sense of 
Free Software (Open Source) is an important one to make. There still is 
too much mixing-up of these two entirely different things.


kind regards

Markus
