Re: [LUG] FWD: Advocacy / Funding to turn OGC Interoperability into Reality

The Open GIS consortium http://www.opengis.org/ is concerned with open 
interfaces and protocols, not the same thing as open source, but a good thing 
nevertheless.  Anyone with skills at C++ coding (which counts me out) who 
would like to support an open source GIS project might like to look at 
Quantum GIS http://qgis.sourceforge.net/ an attempt to build GPL GIS software 
for unix/linux using the QT libraries.  There is a big index of open and free 
GIS software and data over at http://freegis.org/index.en.html .

Subject:    Funding to turn OGC Interoperability into Reality

I am delighted to announce circa £4 million of grants to fund 100
projects around the globe to support organisations wishing to build open
web services
based on the Open GIS Consortium's interoperability standards.

The grants demonstrate Intergraph's commitment to make significant
investments in OGC programmes in order to help advance true 'open'
collaboration and communication across departments, organisations, and
platforms.

Further details on the programme and how to apply can be found at:
