Technology: 4th gvSIG Conference
[+]
Alvaro Anguix writes "From 1st to 5th December 2008, Valencia will play host to the 4th gvSIG Conference in the Valencia Conference Centre. This event is organized by the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (CIT). The Open Geospatial Consortium Meeting and the Eclipse Day event will be celebrated at the same time. The objective is to consolidate them as the benchmark forum for open source GIS projects, to create a framework for defining open source and interoperable GIS standards and to create a conference where experiences can be shared among FLOSS communities.
The 4th gvSIG Conference aims to make the most of the growth of this technology and bring together experts, scientists, institutions, companies and students thanks to the support of the authorities, universities and participating companies, without whose help this project and the organization of these event would not be possible.
The 4th gvSIG Conference is the setting for one of the many planning meetings organized by the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Technical Committee and the international Eclipse Day event too. The aim of the first one is to facilitate the exchange of ideas in an open source technology environment. The theme of the international Eclipse Day event, on 2nd December, will be “Modeling Technologies and CASE tools”.
The website will be available in a few days. There you will find all the information regarding the conference.
Regards,
The 4th gvSIG Conference organization comitee."

Access to Developing Versions of gvSIG
[+]
News Office. gvSIG project writes "Dear Users,
This is to inform you the gvSIG project has created a repository that will allow access to all the builds that it generates.
Within the developing phases of gvSIG, prior to the published versions in the official web of the project, there are builds being generated. The builds are used internally to test new features, they are extremely unstable and do not have the entire features of the program. Certain builds could end up being official versions. Allowing users free access to the builds will let them test the new features in which the developing team is working at the moment and evaluate the development state.
The URL to access the builds is:
https://gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/devel
If you are interested to see the latest features of gvSIG that are being developed, you can download the last build of the "trunk" version (branch 12xx) called "1211". In this build you will have access to new tools for the raster, remote sensing, advance symbology, etc.
On the other hand, the application is being restructured in a way that it will allow in the future to improve the actual stability of the program as well as offering an API easier to be developed. These builds are included in the "20xx" series.
We hope this initiative contribute to the understanding of the gvSIG project by the community as well as facilitate the collaboration with voluntary testers."

gvSIG Mobile Ported to Openmoko
[+]
iknowjoseph writes "Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio has announced the release of gvSIG Mobile for Openmoko; the first time the software has been made available for handhelds not based on Windows Mobile:
Screenshots, link to the source, installation instructions etc available from Juan Lucas' blog." We mentioned Openmoko before and gvSIG plenty of times. This is an interesting step for mobile (e.g. on phones) open source GIS.Features include:
Browsing Spherical Mercator remote tile services (OpenStreetMap layers and Yahoo Maps Satellite layer).
Easily configurable access to standard WMS servers (version 1.1.1). The application applies a tile approach.
Support for the vector data file de facto standard (ESRI shapefile, *.shp).
Access to GPS device via Gpsd. A rotating arrow shows on the map indicating position and heading. Coordinates are also shown.
Reviews: OpenJUMP GIS 1.2
[+]
It's been almost three years since the last mention mention of OpenJUMP here. Mapperz just shared a short 'review' of OpenJUMP, a free, Java-based and open source Geographic Information System: "OpenJump GIS is one of the better all round 'Free GIS' programs because:
1. It supports common GIS formats (.shp, .tif, .gml etc).
2. You can EDIT the data - lots are free but this one you can fully edit the data.
3. You can do some GIS Analysis!"
Here's the official OpenJUMP website. We mentioned other open source GIS software such as Quantum GIS, GRASS GIS, uDig and gvSIG amongst others.
gvSIG: Translation Management Extension is Now Available
[+]
gvSIG project News Office writes "The extension to easily manage the user interface over a gvSIG installation, allowing for the translation to new languages without having to install a new version of gvSIG is now available. It also allows updating or to complete languages already installed, and facilitates the translation to new languages using some of the ones already installed as a reference by exporting the necessary files, as well as the uninstalling of a language translation.
It is available in the Extensions section of the web page.
New languages are included too, as well as updates of some languages already included in gvSIG, to be loaded with this extension in gvSIG 1.1.2. Languages can be downloaded from here, where is the explanation about how to load them in gvSIG too.
Advice: To install this extension you must have correctly installed gvSIG 1.1.2 version."

5th gvSIG Conference: We keep growing
[+]
News Office. gvSIG Project writes "The 5th Edition of the gvSIG Conference, organized by the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (CIT), will be held from December 2nd until December 4th at the Feria Valencia Convention and Exhibition Center, and will once again host the eclipseDay.
In these difficult times when collaboration is most important, we cope with the adversities together with the aim of coming out strengthened by them. We continue moving ahead together. This is part of the gvSIG project and through this approach we keep on growing. This is our slogan for the fifth edition of the gvSIG Conference: We keep growing.
The call for papers for the Fifth Edition of the gvSIG conference is now open. As of today communication proposals can be sent to the email address: contacto-jornadas-gvsig@gva.es; they will be evaluated by the scientific committee as to their inclusion in the conference program.
There are two types of communication: paper or poster. Information regarding to regulations on communication presentations can be found in the report's section. Abstracts will be accepted until September 21st .
Organizations interested in collaborating in the event can find information in the section: How to collaborate?"
