ciao Paolo - alcune proposte:

1- propongo che ognuno sottolinei l'e-mail girato dalla lista OSGEO nelle
parti che nota di più. allego il risultato del mio esercizio.

2- propongo che i lettori sensibili al tema si vadano a ripassare
http://wiki.gfoss.it/index.php/Geodati, se non hanno memoria recente di
averlo fatto

3- propongo che si definisca un gruppo di persone interessate a seguire
nello specifico la questione dati, e che i nominativi compaiano sulla pagina
del wiki.

fatto questo, e in combinazione con altre proposte che potranno arrivare,
penso che avremo un punti di partenza più consolidato per fare una proposta
di rilancio vero e proprio.

...4- propongo la data del 15-5 come limite per "chiudere" richiesta di un
rilancio legato all'ultimo mail di Paolo sul tema.

buona giornata!

> increasing technological shift in the marketplace,
> Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), is pleased to
> announce that starting April 1st 2007, the Earth
> Sciences Sector (ESS) will change the way its
> Digital Topographic Data (DTD) can be accessed.

> On April 1st, 2007, NRCan will start to make its
> existing DTD products available through the
> Geogratis Web portal (http://www.geogratis.ca).
> By combining the functionality from the current
> On line Purchasing and Subscribers Web sites,
> the user will be provided with no fee access
> to DTD products. Under the new distribution policy,
> commercial licenses will no longer be required,
> as all users will obtain rights for unlimited use
> and royalty free distribution of the data through
> a single unrestricted use license agreement.
>
> NRCan is pleased to expand no fee access to its
> collection of digital topographic data products.
> After extensive consultations with other federal
> agencies and stakeholders, followed by the development
> of supporting technical systems, NRCan has begun the
> transition to this new approach to data access.
> We recognize the importance of providing geospatial
> information to Canadians to enable users to customize
> applications which benefit from integrated geographic
> information. We are keeping pace with advances in all
> areas of mapping to ensure that everyone can benefit
> from "no fee" topographic data through the use of
> cutting edge technology. Through our ongoing
> partnerships with stakeholders, we will continue to
> develop our topographic products to meet the needs
> of Canadian groups and individuals in the private
> sector, academia and government.
