4th gvSIG Conference, ‘Moving forward together’

 From 1st to 5th December 2008, Valencia will play host to the 4th gvSIG 
Conference in the Valencia Conference Centre. This event is organized by 
the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (CIT). The Open 
Geospatial Consortium Meeting and the Eclipse Day event will be 
celebrated at the same time. The objective is to consolidate them as the 
benchmark forum for open source GIS projects, to create a framework for 
defining open source and interoperable GIS standards and to create a 
conference where experiences can be shared among FLOSS communities.

The 4th gvSIG Conference aims to make the most of the growth of this 
technology and bring together experts, scientists, institutions, 
companies and students thanks to the support of the authorities, 
universities and participating companies, without whose help this 
project and the organization of these event would not be possible.

The 4th gvSIG Conference is the setting for one of the many planning 
meetings organized by the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Technical 
Committee and the international Eclipse Day event too. The aim of the 
first one is to facilitate the exchange of ideas in an open source 
technology environment. The theme of the international Eclipse Day 
event, on 2nd December, will be “Modeling Technologies and CASE tools”.

The website will be available in a few days. There you will find all the 
information regarding the conference.

The 4th gvSIG Conference organization comitee.
