gvSIG

It is ready for download gvSIG 1.9 RC1, the first distribution of the candidate version (Release Candidate) from August’s Build 1243 of 313. The download took a while, because it was out of service initially gvsig.org, where builds are lowered, and then the available unzip and run version appeared as a corrupt file. But finally, here it is, for our ...

The way free tools have matured is interesting, some years ago, talking about free GIS, sounded like UNIX, in a geek voice and with a level of distrust or fear of the unknown. All that has changed much with the diversity of solutions that have full-grown not only in the construction of routines commonly expected but overcrowding innovative strategies, testing ...

If gvSIG friends fulfilled their promise, next Monday July 27th we will have the 1.9 stable version. So far the test has been great, according to the perceived volume of distribution lists. While waiting on Monday, by which time I hope to have the satisfaction of congratulating the performance of speech, at the cost of surely sleeplessness developers, let’s take ...

I spoke recently about what means in statistics to talk about software, specifically 11 programs which represents 50% of the visitors coming by keyword visits. It is difficult to give recommendations of which software is better, because it depends on the context (and the money) conditions, the more I can aspire is to write and give my impressions; to enable ...

More than two years writing about technology issues crazy, usually software and applications. Today I want to take to make an analysis of what it means to speak of software in the hope of forming an opinion, to highlight strengths and how they respond to income and words as Internet traffic generation. Software entries that involve it visits that involve ...

The recent month of May, it was released version 1.2 of this brief but admirable document that with that name seems to scoff at how complicated it is the software for managing spatial data. It is written by Stefan Steiniger and Robert Weibel of Calgary University in California and Zurich University respectively. At the end give credits to secondary sources. ...

This document was published not long ago by the Department of Processes and Systems at the Simon Bolivar University and the National Telecommunications Commission of Venezuela CONATEL, I heard about this through the network of that country called free geomatics and it really is an interesting inspiration so as to move its cheese to anyone. The purpose of this paper ...

It’s interesting the prototype of spatial data infrastructure for Guatemala that is preparing the General Secretary of planning and programming of the SEGEPLAN’s Presidency. We had seen in the video presentation of Moses Poyatos and Walter Giron from SITIMI in the 4th gvSIG’s days; at the end of the presentation mentioned that the IDEs was a topic of fashion in ...

Formally it have been unveiled definite aspects of the scope and established dates for the release of gvSIG stable versions. It’s very valuable the answer for two basic questions: 1. When will it be released gvSIG 1.9? July 27, 2009 2. And when will be gvSIG 2.0 launched? September 15, 2009 We hope that the development effort will be geared ...

Own brand (1%) This is the keyword for which have reached more visits, usually used by those who already know the blog, who did not attend nor have read rss in their favorites, and not to write the crazy url ...

I like Geoinformatics so much, cause besides being a magazine with a great layout appeal; the contents are very good in geospatial. Today has been announced the release of April, where I have taken some texts highlighted in red to motivate a luscious reading. In earlier versions I did a summary for them, today I’ve taken as the post theme, ...

This week I’ll have a meeting with project’s technicians which are considering gvSIG as an alternative to be implemented in municipalities where they’re running a territorial ordering project that comprises part of Central America. In Latin America we hear different experiences about gvSIG’s use; in this case I want to mention one of them occurred in Guatemala, possibly the first ...

Many people agree that the best achieved in this recent days’ journeys was the allusive event’s magazine, which represents a great job, not only for the regarding content but for its fancy graphic design.  For those who received the printed format, certainly it represents an invaluable one-piece collection, just the same as those Obelix’s comics saved in an old but ...

TRANSLATION NOTES: Please read some comments at the end of this post I had finished teaching the first module of GvSIG, to an institution that apart than implementing a system for municipalities use, expects to also provide training on free GIS. This institution had developed an application on Avenue but when thinking about migrating it to ArcGIS 9 have given ...

After a little over three years with the blog, here I summarize some statistics that have helped me to plan topics and priorities for 2011. Trying to stay on subject glimpsed in my first post, total categories have become 31. As a general line I raised in that 2007 post 4 categories: Cartography, AutoCAD, Microstation and Geospatial. To plot their ...
