Hi, I apologise in advance if you have received this email more than once because you are listed on two or more mail lists.
I would like to announce the launch of a new website called http://www.fossworkflowguides.com that may be of interest to you. The site's aim is to provide detailed workflow guides using free and open source software. The target audience is beginners to intermediate users. The ultimate aim is to get more people using foss in their businesses. These are not manuals but rather guides on how to get complex tasks sequences or workflows completed using free and open source software. The website is the main medium by which information is being disseminated. That said, PDF files have also been provided that can be downloaded and referred to when the Internet is not available. Of particular note for this group is the 'fosGIS Workflow Guide - A guide to the use of FOSS to view, edit, create, analyse and map geospatial data (http://gis.fossworkflowguides.com)', although if you look at the main page you will see I also intent to publish tutorials on use of bash and python (http://scripting.fossworkflowguides.com). Other guides are planned but will depend on how enthusiastically the currently published and proposed tutorials are received. An initial instalment of tutorials have been posted along with copious support documentation and CC-BY-SA Data. I welcome any feedback. You can post back to this mail list (if you want to have a debate) or use the feedback form on the website http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/#feedback, if you want to just point out a typo or suggest a topic for a tutorial. The current list of tutorials are... - Installing gvSIG 1.10 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Installing gvSIG 1.10 on Windows XP - The basic configuration of gvSIG for normal use - Datums and Coordinate Systems used in South-eastern Australia - How gvSIG handles Coordinate Reference Systems If you want to be informed of the publication of other tutorials in the future register for email alerts at http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/#alerts. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Principal Consultant Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, VIC W: www.botanicusaustralia.com.au _______________________________________________ Gvsig_internacional mailing list [email protected] http://listserv.gva.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gvsig_internacional
