The conference has been moved earlier this year, and it will be held from October 18th to 20th at School of Engineering in Geodesy, Cartography and Surveying (Universitat Polit?cnica de Val?ncia, Spain). Friday will be dedicated to a gvSIG developers meeting. Workshops will have independent registration, with limited capacity and having the possibility to get a certificate. Registration for workshops, that are free of charge, will be available at the website soon [2]. Workshops available are: - Workshop 1: Introducci?n a gvSIG - Workshop 2: Geoestad?stica con gvSIG - Workshop 3: gvSIG aplicado a criminolog?a - Workshop 4: Introducci?n al desarrollo en gvSIG con Scripting - Workshop 5: Hydro-geomorphological Modelling in gvSIG with the JGrasstools plugins (in English) - Workshop 6: gvSIG Online y gvSIG Mobile - Workshop 7: Desarrollo avanzado en gvSIG con scripting This year there won't be simultaneous interpretation (Spanish-English and English-Spanish), so presentations and workshops will be given in their original language. In the next days, all the information about workshops will be published at the gvSIG blog [3], with the cartography, and what you have to install in case you have to take your own computer to the workshop. In addition, registrations of the conference are free of cost too (limited capacity) and must be done through the application form on the Conference web page [4]. We recommend you to register as soon as possible because of the limited capacity. We expect your participation!

With 3.0 in the wild for a little more than a month we've made some fixes and some updates that didn't make the cut in the first release. Thanks to everyone for the contributions and feedback. Release notes are here: - https://www.geomoose.org/releases/3.0.1.html Downloads available on the good ole GeoMoose.org website: - https://www.geomoose.org/download.html -- if you're seeing 3.0.0 please clear your cache. Some bigger highlights: 1. The upload dialog sees some major improvement. It's now substantially more fault tolerant, reports how many features were added, and if there was a failure. 2. The workshop from FOSS4G is now in the documentation: http:// geomoose.github.io/gm3/workshop/ 3. A quickstart for getting GeoMoose up and running in EC2: http://geomoose.github.io/gm3/quickstart-ec2.html For those looking to do an upgrade: You should be able to download the examples and update the local copy of the "geomoose" folder. Cheers everyone from the GeoMoose Team. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
