The webinars will be open and free to all on first come register basis. <br><br>This webinar will be on "Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Applications (FOSS4G): A mature alternative in the geospatial technologies arena" by Rafael Moreno-Sanchez (University of Colorado - Denver) and Maria Antonia Brovelli (Politecnico di Milano - Campus Como). <br><br>The webinar proposes a critical overview about the state of art of art of Free and Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G). The goal is to convey three main messages, supported by examples: <br><br>1) Today the question is no longer if FOSS/FOSS4G are mature or capable, but how to take advantage of their features and development philosophy to deliver the systems and geospatial information demanded by citizens, businesses, governments, educators and researchers around the world. <br><br>2) For almost every geospatial software need and niche (e.g. desktop GIS, spatial extensions to Database Management Systems, WebGIS, code libraries, etc…) there is at least one mature FOSS4G project with a well-documented record of successful application in diverse contexts. <br><br>3) Though findings are varied as to the strengths and weaknesses of FOSS/FOSS4G for specific contexts and purposes, today it is clear that FOSS/FOSS4G not only provide healthy competition for private/close solutions but also opportunities for mutual benefit and complementarity. <br><br>Attendees will be able to interact with the speakers by sending their comments and questions through chat. All attendees of this web seminar will receive certificates for their participation.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="display: none;"> </span></p><table class="ecxMsoNormalTable" border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0cm 0cm 2.25pt;
