Hi All, Many bet that it was all about an event, or maybe a new free and opensource organization, but nobody yet has come to settle the real goal of it. In recent years the "Free Geo" has grown and seconded as a competitive option in the corporate market. As a consequence there is an increase in demand for these technologies. Today there are several blogs, lists and discussion forums in portuguese dealing with various issues related to them and also providing free support to those technologies. However, there was a lack in this free and open geo-technologies new market: a specialized magazine.
In order to fullfill this claim, we are proud to announce the "FOSSGIS Brazil" magazine. Some of the biggest names in geomatics and opensource area teamed up and worked to produce a high quality material, with solid foundations on the opensource and free software community principles. In this first edition, we start talking about related initiatives like OL4JSF, a 100% Brazilian project, which is already a worldwide success. Besides it we talk about OGC standards, the history of opensource geo, GVSIG, GIS applications for mobile devices and other exclusive content. Also, there is an interview with Gilberto Câmara, general director of INPE (National Institute for Space Research), which took place exclusively for this first issue of "FOSSGIS Brasil". The magazine content is entirely free, and you don't really need to register, fill forms, pay taxes or anything. Just enter "www.fossgisbrasil.com.br" and get your copy. We hope you enjoy this brand new initiative.
