Hi Chris,
Are you thinking on dumping Poseidon?
Because, the way I see things managing a distro is a huge timesink...
Maybe CDD-GIS could (and would) benefit from the excelent work done by
other CDDs, specially (because is the only one I know personally)
BR-CDD [1]
However, given your interest in this and you previous experience with
Poseidon, I should point you to a similar initiative that was
discussed in the OSGeo realm [2].
Please, take your time to read this material and contribute. Have a
word with the br-cdd guys and with Elton Uchoa, he is (was) involved
in the OSGEO effort.
It should not prove too dificult to assemble a full geospatial stack,
other than lack of debian packages proper.
Then, it should be useful to cooperate upstream to have them do the
necessary customizations.
Well, at least I have some due translations upstream...
Thus, we should achieve world dominance in the geospatial industry...
