Hi Suchith. We are discussing the possibility of having a webinar on gvSIG Batoví as you suggested. As soon as we have a decision we will let you know. Thanks for suggesting it.

Thanks Maria. That is excellent and we will plan it for December webinar.

The webinars are 1 hour duration (45 minutes presentation + 15 min Q&A). We will finalize the webinar program schedule after we get inputs from various topics from all.

Eduardo - could you please confirm that the webinars will be recorded and url available for archiving. 

Sergio - It will good to have a webinar on "Impact of gvSIG Batovi for creating opportunities GIS education in schools in developing countries". I am happy to see the translation efforts going good . Once documents are all translated, we will upload to ELOGeo and more teachers in many countries will also benefit.  I have few slides on this and will include this in my FOSS4G presentation .Thanks.

All - please inform your draft webinar topics (the more we have the better).

Suchith

Suchith, did you define a standard lenght for the webinar?
Rafael and I taught a webinar for GeoTech Center (Phillip Davis) some
times ago and it is ready.
The title is "Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial
Applications (FOSS4G): A mature alternative in the geospatial
technologies arena" and it lasts one hour.

If Rafael agrees, we can do it again. We'll find suitable timing in December.
Cheers.
Maria
