==OSGeo lecture: A not so short introduction to OSGeo==
;Abstract
:The Open Source for Geospatial Foundation is a community of communities. It gathers some of the most prominent FOSS4G projects and offers a common place to advocate about Free Software trying to offer a reliable common brand for their projects. From web mapping projects to libraries through metadata handling and non specific development projects like the Education and Public Geodata committees, OSGeo welcomes everyone who wants to find a common place to discuss and get in touch with the smartest developers and free software technicians of the world. On this lecture the Foundation will be presented: how it works, how can an individual (not only developers, teachers, public government and business managers, etc are welcomed) participate in it and meet and do really valuable networking working together to promote FOSS4G.
Slides (OpenOffice Impress format)
==gvSIG lecture: gvSIG, a real tool for geographic information systems technicians==
;Abstract
:gvSIG is a free software effort from the Valencian public government to provide the best tool not only for novices but also for power users. gvSIG provides tools for analysts and cartographers to fetch data, work with it doing many different analysis and finally producing maps and other outputs for their everyday workflows. With the arrival of INSPIRE and other SDI initiatives, gvSIG is positioned as one of the best desktop tools to deal with remote catalogs and geodata repositories. This lecture will introduce you in the roots of gvSIG project as well as the persent and near-future features not only of the software but also of the entire project.

III Encontro Nacional de Usuarios MapServer

The III Brazilian MapServer User's Meeting has ended and was a great success.
Dear all,
It is my pleasure to inform that the THIRD BRAZILIAN MAPSERVER USER'S MEETING
was a success. The meeting was held in Brasilia, at the Presidential Auditorium,
as response to the invitation of the Federal Government which has been investing
its efforts on Open Standards and Opensource. Among the most recent initiatives
I should mention the E-PING Commission, which has been establishing official
standards. It means that once a standard is officially adopted by the
government, it becomes a criterion for software development or acquisition. A
sub-commission for geoinformation is already working towards OGC... ;-)
More than 300 people have attended the event. 23 cases were presented by
government officials, as well as universities and private companies.
Surprisingly, the quality of the applications presented has exceeded our
expectation, especially in comparison with the first and second meetings. 6
workshops were available (Principles of Cartography for Developers, MapServer
Basics, MapServer Advanced, PostGIS Basics, Geoserver Basics and OCG) thanks to
the support of several people that have committed their selves to them.
To the growing MapServer community and in face of the success, I would like to
thank Mr. Tyler Mitchell who enlightened the meeting with his speech and
contribution. I would also like to thank Persegona's brothers (Marcelo and
André) and Thammy and Roberta for their commitment to organization and well
being of all participants. Finally, recognize the efforts of Dr. Albuquerque,
Sérgio and Silmara to materialize the meeting at the Presidential Palace.
RELEVANT ASPECTS OF THE MEETING:
* Unofficial organization of the OSGeo Brazilian Chapter;
* We shall transform the BRAZILIAN MAPSERVER USER'S MEETING in to OSGeo
Brazilian Chapter Meeting. For that we will try to bring members from the other
communities (e.g Grass, Geoserver, geonetwork, etc.) to OSGeo-Br;
* OSGeo Brazilian Chapter will submit a proposal to bring FOSS4G 2008 to Brazil
in order to initialize this new "phase" 
Cheers,
Rafael Medeiros Sperb
== Invited Representatives ==
* Tyler Mitchell, Executive Director of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) 
* Tom Kralidis to introduce OGC concepts

III Encuentro ASOLIF de Empresas de Software Libre

==== El Evento ====
El pasado 23 y 24 de abril tuvo lugar en la ETSIT de la UPM, en la Ciudad Universitaria de Madrid, el III Encuentro ASOLIF de Empresas de Software Libre, evento patrocinado por Red.es dentro del Plan Avanza. Estuvimos en este evento Rafael F. Mejías y Jimena Martínez, de Sinfogeo y en representación de OSGEO-es 
En las jornadas se presentaron proyectos de diferentes empresas de ASOLIF, entre ellos OSGEO y el evento FOSS4G 
La idea con la que fuimos a estas jornadas fue difundir la parte GEO de OSGEO en un ambiente ya de Software Libre y además obtener algunos apoyos para el FOSS4G y para su difusión. 
Tras la inauguración del evento, se presentaron seis proyectos, cinco de los cuales provienen de empresas de ASOLIF, que luego fueron desarrollados en mesas de trabajo con el fin de elaborar consorcios junto a otras PyMEs del sector, depurarlos y que pasen a formar parte del porfolio de ASOLIF. 
En paralelo, la Junta Directiva de ASOLIF mantuvo diversas reuniones institucionales con buena parte de las entidades invitadas. Muchas de ellas ya colaboran activamente con la Federación o alguna de sus asociaciones regionales. Otras, sin embargo, acudían al evento por primera vez y este era su primer contacto con el sector. Algunas de estas entidades invitadas fueron: 
• Institutos Tecnológicos: ITA e Ikertia 
• Universidades: Rey Juan Carlos y ULL 
• Comunidades de software libre: OSGEO-es, GNOME Hispano, KDE España, OSM, OpenSolaris, etc. 
• Otras entidades: CENATIC, Kolab Systems, Hispalinux, Nokia, FSFE, empresas colaboradoras, etc. 
A lo largo de la jornada del sábado se desarrollaron diversas mesas de trabajo para diseñar los proyectos presentados el día anterior. Las empresas de ASOLIF presentaron también sus novedades a lo largo de la tarde. 
 
Nosotros nos centramos en dar a conocer OSGEO y en particular el capítulo hispanohablante en la presentación del viernes y en tratar de recabar apoyos para difundir por medio de algún tipo de evento en Madrid el FOSS4G en las mesas de trabajo y reuniones del sábado. Previsiblemente la charla para difundir el FOSS4G en Madrid pueda tener lugar en Junio. El resto de empresas estaban interesadas en apoyar el evento, que les pareció de mucho interés, pese a que su campo de actuación no sea lo GEO. 
En total participaron 45 empresas de ASOLIF y alrededor de 20 personas de entidades invitadas al evento 
Pensamos que fue una buena oportunidad para ampliar la visión del Open Source fuera del mundo GEO y para entablar relaciones con el mundo empresarial del Software Libre 
==== Las fotos y el vídeo ====
Hicimos unas cuantas fotos y grabamos un vídeo de la presentación que hizo Rafa el viernes (disculpad la calidad, el vídeo está hecho con un móvil y no de última generación precisamente)

II Jornadas de SIG Libre 2008

http://www.sigte.udg.es/jornadassiglibre/
== Presentación ==
Es grato para nosotros anunciar la reedición de las Jornadas de SIG Libre celebradas en Girona en marzo de 2007, que fueron un éxito de participación, destacando especialmente la calidad de las ponencias y comunicaciones presentadas, superando las expectativas previstas. Mientras que las I Jornadas de SIG Libre tenían como principal objetivo o motivación pulsar el estado y grado de implantación del programario SIG Libre en España y países de habla hispana, estas II Jornadas de SIG Libre suscriben estos mismos objetivos, y añadimos algunos más que seguro enriquecerán el debate y la siempre indispensable transferencia de conocimientos, experiencias y relaciones humanas.
Algunos de los nuevos temas que serán introducidos y debatidos durante estas II Jornadas, pivotan alrededor de la liberación de los datos geográficos, los formatos abiertos de datos espaciales, el rol que las PyMES y Administración Pública pueden jugar en la implantación de soluciones abiertas en el campo de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, la Teledetección y las soluciones de programario libre, ... Nosotros lanzamos las ideas ... Vuestra participación activa en el evento es indispensable para que estas II Jornadas, vuelvan a certificar que la comunidad goza del vigor y entusiasmo indispensables para que siga girando la rueda.

INGRES Report 2007

Ingres was new to join OSGEO in 2007. The enthusiasm for open source within the community was very impressive to see. Also, the quality and diversity of projects was also facinating. 
We attended FOSS4G in Victoria and enjoyed the workshops and presentations. Above all, the people within the community really made a lasting impression on us. We found everyone to be knowledgable, enthusiastic, and very approachable. The passion for geospatial technology was everywhere. This kind of energy and talent bodes well for OSGEO in the future. 
We decided to support the community through participation, reuse and contributions to common code such as the GEOS library/ OGR/ and more, and through sponsorship of OSGEO and the GDAL/OGR project.
It is our pleasure, and honour to be welcomed into the OSGEO community. We are looking forward to getting to you know each of you better, and working with you in the future. 
See you around. 
- Andrew Ross, on behalf of the team at Ingres.
INGRES Report 2008

2008 was a good year for Ingres' Geospatial project. For those that are not familiar, Ingres was one of the first RDBMSs to add spatial support. The work was contracted and unfortunately though Ingres owned the rights to distribute the binaries, it did not own rights to distribute the code. This fact, combined with new industry standards created motivation for our geospatial project.
In 2008, we completed work to implement the 2D point data type in our new project. As well, we contributed updates to the GEOS project to fix some bugs and improve thread safety. One of our developers, Charles Thibert, is now a GEOS committer. 
In 2009, we look forward to completing the first phase of our geospatial project and providing OGC Simple Feature Specification 1.1 compliance. We would like to thank the community for their support and interest, and thank OSGeo for nurturing a great community and ecosystem.
Thank you.

INPE Report 2007

DRAFT - may be used for announcements purposes instead
------
The Brazilian National Institute for Space Research - INPE is Brazil’s main institution for space science and technology, whose mission includes building satellites, developing environmental applications, and producing weather and climate forecasts. Since 1984, INPE has had a research and development division for GIS to support its actions in earth observation and to promote GIS and remote sensing technology in Brazil. INPE’s Image Processing Division was created with the following aims: (a) local development and dissemination of image processing and GIS systems in Brazil; (b) establishment of a research program in Image Processing and GIS, and (c) pursuit of co-operative programs with universities, government organizations and private companies. In 1986, INPE brought out Brazil’s first GIS+Image Processing based on an Intel platform. 150 universities and research labs, up to 1996, used the system extensively.
In 1992, given recent advances in hardware and software and the changes in information technology policy in Brazil, INPE started the development of a free GIS software, SPRING, whose first Internet version was made available in late 1996. SPRING provides a comprehensive set of functions for processing of spatial information, including tools for Satellite Image Processing, Digital Terrain Modeling, Spatial Analysis, Geostatistics, Spatial Statistics, Spatial Databases and Map Management.
INPE is a great promoter of free earth observation data. All images of our remote sensing satellites and the maps of Amazon deforestation are available free on the web. To make good use of such free data sets, we need free GIS software. INPE's activities in Earth observation require state-of-the art GIS technology that can handle large environmental data sets. Free GIS tools such as PostGIS are extremely important to support large-scale applications. In a partnership with Computer Graphics Group at the Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro, INPE is developing TerraLib (Câmara, Souza et al. 2000), an open-source GIS component library. TerraLib enables quick development of custom-built applications using spatial databases. Currently, such capabilities are only available by means of proprietary solutions. As a research tool, TerraLib aims to enable the development of GIS prototypes that include new concepts such as spatio-temporal data models, geographical ontologies and advanced spatial analysis techniques.
INPE believes that FOSS does not happen spontaneously. FOSS development must be supported by public and private institutions. For this reason, INPE both maintains its own FOSS4G software development team, and in 2007 INPE became one of the sponsors of OSGEO: “networking and best practices are essential conditions for successful FOSS initiatives. INPE considers that the FOSS4G community needs an organization that can provide the links between the developers and also between developers and users. OSGEO provides the connections that are fundamental in FOSS4G” said Dr. Gilberto Câmara, INPE´s general director.

INSPIRE data experiments

== Introduction ==
At FOSS4G2009 we held a Bird of a Feather session to brainstorm how to demonstrate to potential users that the OSGeo software is suitable to publish data in compliance with the INSPIRE directive data schemas. 
With one or two working use cases we can demonstrate that OSGeo software meets the requirements of INSPIRE. 
Please add your input, suggestions, ideas, contribution.
== Objectives ==
We will work on example use cases that demonstrate the creation of INSPIRE compliant data.
Jeroen: I would like to add a working example to the default GeoNetwork opensource installation, providing an INSPIRE compliant data service through the embedded GeoServer.
== Schedule==
To be defined
== Example use cases ==
* Create a workflow based on an ETL. Options here are Talend ETL and GeoKettle
* GeoServer 2 serving two cross-boundary road maps as INPIRE Transport networks data.
* INSPIRE-compliant WFS for Annex I themes Addresses and Cadastral Parcels by The Dutch Kadaster http://inspire.kademo.nl/doc
** create a "pure" INSPIRE PostGIS database (model) for these Annex I themes
** create an INSPIRE-compliant WFS (Deegree) on top of this PostGIS database
** transform an XML export of local data into target data model (XSLT generating PostGIS INSERT statements)
== Sample data ==
Please attach sample data here. 
* Some sample cross-boundary data from the cross boundary project in Germany-Belgium-Netherlands
