Sin duda, creo que en este tipo de iniciativas debemos estar
presentes, ¿alguien en Ecuador?. En cualquier caso un correo a la
organización prestándoles apoyo no está de más.

> Background of the event
> The awareness about the necessity of integrating, if not basing, the
> most of environmental and territorial analyses with geography and
> mapping has been growing at every administrative and governmental
> level. In the meanwhile the success of application, like for instance
> Google Earth, demonstrates the dramatic curiosity and active interest
> of people with respect to the space in which they live. Lowering
> barriers to contributing, making easier the interaction and the
> possibility of participation will result in more photos, maps and
> other pieces of information uploaded and therefore plays an important
> role in that success.
> The availability of a richer information (from institutional and/or
> crowd sourced data) can help decision-makers in their activity.
> Free and Open Source Tools and Applications are rapidly increasing in
> number and quality. Many and different actors are involved in such a
> kind of process: large and small companies, professional
> practitioners, public agencies, universities, research centers but
> also simple map lovers.
> The conference aims at foster interdisciplinary discussions in all
> aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. The
> conference will be organized in a way to promote networking between
> the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding
> cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and
> to promote national and international collaboration.
>
> Themes of the Event
> Presentations should cover aspects of the use or development of open source GIS.
> Some topics of interest:
>
>   Case Studies and Application of free and open source GIS
>   State of Development of free and open source GIS
>   Migration from proprietary to free and open source solutions:
> problems, advantages, drawbacks
>
>
> The proposed dates of the event are: 24-25 October 2012.
>
> Other possible co-organizers of the event are the Ecuadorian Secretary
> for Risk Management and ICA (requests sent, waiting for reply).
>
> The Organizer Committee is asking for OSGeo support in whichever form
> it is possible.
