Specially if they are completely organized by activ and well known members of the gvSIG community, like they made in 2009: http://webmapping.info/mwgvsig/index.php?title=Bericht_gvSIG_Anwendertreffen_2009. I think it will be cheaper and more effective if they are
organized by local communities.<br><br>What do you think about?<br>Best regards<br>Jose<br><br><font size="2">>Open Planet 5, the
magazine published for the International gvSIG Conference is now
available in electronic format [1].<br>
<br>
>We launch the 7th International gvSIG Conference with a striking slogan,
“Conquering new areas.” If we look back we can see that the slogans of
previous years are still valid in the >gvSIG project, more strongly than
ever, and without losing their meaning within the mission and vision
that characterize us: Sharing knowledge, Building realities, We continue
>growing, Consolidating and advancing, Moving forward together,
Knowledge for change.<br>
<br>
>But we believe that this is not enough, we must take a step further. So,
as we project and work to conquer new areas, areas not yet reached by
free geomatics and reserved to those >with the monopoly of knowledge; The
time has come, we should not conform but continue working and
organizing knowledge, technology, geomatics so that it is universal to
be >universal and available to everyone, without having to compromising
anything.<br>
<br>
>In this issue we will talk about these achievements, where undoubtedly
the gvSIG Community plays a fundamental role, understood in all its
diversity: geographical and linguistical >communities, users, developers,
universities, government … that together form a group that drive hard
in each of their areas towards the common interest.<br>
>This is a magazine made by and for the gvSIG Community.<br>
<br>
>We hope you enjoy it.<br>
