[OSGeo-Announce] gvSIG Festival: First virtual gvSIG Conference is coming!

From May 23rd to 27th there’s an event that you can’t miss: the first

gvSIG Festival. In this case it doesn’t matter where you live or even
what language you speak since you will be able to attend (virtually)
more than twenty webinars in different languages.

An idea that we were thinking about during the last months was to show
varied experiences and in different languages, removing the
limitations of the events in an only place. And this take us to this
first gvSIG Festival.

At this first edition, some colleagues of the gvSIG Community will
tell us about some experiences related to the gvSIG technology (gvSIG
Desktop, Online, Roads…). At the next edition we will open a period
for sending proposals to convert it in a more global and open event.

There will be presentations in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese,
Turkish and Russian, and we will count with speakers and works
developed in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, United
States of America, France, India, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Paraguay,
Russia, Somaliland, Turkey y Uruguay.

They will speak about how the gvSIG technology can be applied in
different themes like mental health, civil protection, cooperation,
historic studies, roads management, acoustic analysis, hydrology,
tourism, urban analysis…, in conclusion about how gvSIG can help to
meet the needs of the society and improve the life of the inhabitants
of the Earth.

The webinar platform allows to connect to the webinars from any
operating system.

You can consult the complete program in:
http://www.gvsig.com/festival, and the information about how to
register at the webinars will be available soon.

In case you can't see some of the webinars, they will be published at
the gvSIG Youtube channel soon.

See you at the gvSIG Festival!
