III Latin American Conference gvSIG, Sharing a common project
This is the name with which the 3as will be performed. GvSIG Conference on Latin America and the Caribbean, which will also constitute the Second Conference for Brazilians. The event is international in nature, so we will see participants from Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean and the rest of Latin America, a context where gvSIG has had an interesting reception due to the foundation's effort to create a quality fabric between academic institutions, government and companies. oriented to the provision of services open to Open Source.
It will be from October 12 to 14, 2011, in Foz do Iguaçu, that multicultural city between the Brazilian and Paraguayan borders that is famous for the Iguazú Falls and Itaipú Dam. Its objective is to provide a meeting place where technicians, researchers, developers, experts, and the community in general, meet in an environment with debates around free geomatics and GvSIG.
It is interesting, that this time, a good amount -probably most- will speak Portuguese, value that will give an interesting flavor to the presentations and coexistence with a country with whom we share context and whose takeoff we all applaud.
In charge of the gvSIG foundation we will have two themes that will surely give a touch of valuable inspiration to the expectations that are sought in the Seventh International Conference of November and continuity to the theme initiated in First Days of Argentina, just recently:
- New ethics for a new model.
- gvSIG, something more than science.
The rest of the topics will bring a contribution to the community, to see that free software is having a significant growth in our context, at least with gvSIG that demonstrates an aggressive internationalization strategy.
Here are some topics on the preliminary agenda, in which only 12 papers stand out in Spanish, while the other 22 with their topic predict that they will be in Portuguese. Its translation is quite understandable, so I have decided to leave it as:
