Subject: I LatinOSGIS Congress - Call for papers
The First Latin America Congress of Free and Open Source GIS - I Congreso \
Latinoamericano de Aplicación de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) de código \
libre y abierto
October, 22-23 2012 - Guayaquil, Ecuador
First call for papers
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 \
richer information (from institutional and/or crowdsourced 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.
Presentations should cover aspects of the use or development of open source GIS.
Some topics of interest are:
* State of development of free and open source GIS
* Case studies and applications of free and open source GIS
* Migration from proprietary to free and open source solutions: problems, \
advantages, drawbacks
The conference organizers invite researchers, scholars, students, professionals, \
vendors, users, managers and decision makers to present and discuss the issues and \
latest trends in free and open source geospatial technologies and applications.
