It's great to have so much encouragement. Now, if I could just persuade my employers to free up some time to work on it... Cheers Stephan! It’s great to have so much encouragement.

I think this is a great step forward, ac ouple of years ago I was excited about GIS-Linux Live CDs, but this is so much better! Go for it!

I'm keen on making it easier for beginners in general, corporate or otherwise- taking away that sometimes painfully steep learning curve. IMHO that makes it much more viable for adoption- it's easier to convince your boss to let you do something if it's ready to use out of the box. The interest in this topic has been amazing- and I could only do it because people like you blogged that it was possible to run some of the apps in this way. So thanks- and sorry you couldn't make it to Victoria! Jo James, you’re absolutely right about this.

I've got a mixed bag of portable GIS apps that I use. I'd like to see further development on this. Portable means that it can be copied and run on a computer where a use has no admin rights. That is huge IMO for penetration of FOSS in the corporate marketplace. I’m glad to see someone jumping on this. I’ve got a mixed bag of portable GIS apps that I use.
