From press at gvsig.com Thu Apr 6 09:40:53 2017 From: press at gvsig.com (gvSIG Press) Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 09:40:53 +0200 Subject: [Gvsig_english] gvSIG receives the award for the best European open source project Message-ID: <2b5f8dfe-3074-7a67-bf15-108a046f5feb@gvsig.com> Last week the gvSIG project received the European Commission award for the best European open source project in the highest category (Cross border) at ?Sharing and Reuse Awards? [1]. The objective of these competition was to give awards to existing IT solutions that have been developed and successfully shared by public administrations, and that can be further reused across Europe. There were 118 applications at the first phase, and 96 of them fulfilled the requirements. Finally the Evaluation Commitee selected the best 17 applications. This prize is an important recognition of the career of the gvSIG project, which was born in the Generalitat Valenciana and has created a new software production model led by the gvSIG Association, based on collaboration, solidarity and shared knowledge. It started as a project to develop a desktop GIS and now it is a complete suite to address any need related to geomatics, with the integration of the geographic component in information systems. Currently the software under the gvSIG brand is used in more than 160 countries, and it's translated to more than 25 languages.

If you have used gvSIG for your projects you can send us a proposal, and present it at this virtual gvSIG conference. You only would need a computeer with internet connection. The event will be held in May 16th and 17th, and it's free of charge and completely online, through the webinar service of the gvSIG Association. If you want to present your project at the gvSIG Festival, you can send a summmary to the following e-mail address: conference-contact at gvsig.com, explaining the project. The summary will have no more than 300 words, it has to be written in Spanish or English, and you have to indicate the title and the language of the presentation. Once the program is configured it will be published at the event website, and registrations will be opened.
