Non per alimentare la pallosissima polemica, ma per fornire una visione
diversa, vi inoltro alcuni commenti sul "perche' non unirsi a osgeo" che
stanno girando sulla mailing list di qgis.
(per essere chiari: io credo di essere stato il primo italiano a
proporsi di entrare in osgeo, e continuo ad essere convinto che si debba
parteciparvi).

Radims main concern was that the OSGEO
becomes some kind of defacto portal for people trying to find free and
open source GIS related software, essentially precluding non member
projects for similar consideration. Of course this can be seen as an
advantage for the OSGEO members projects, but since open source
developers have a libertarian approach to life I cant help but agree
with Radim a little.
