Caracas will host the 2nd Latin American and Caribbean gvSIG Conference [1], organized by the CNTI, the Simón Bolívar Geographical Institute of Venezuela and the gvSIG Association, with the slogan: “Bringing the nations of the world together”. This conference will be held from 12th to 16th July. The first two days (12th and 13th), several workshops in the field of FOSS4G will be carried out for both users and developers of GIS tools. During these two days we hope to welcome more than 150 people and technology transfer and knowledge transfer will be the aims of these workshops. From 14th to 16th July, the conference format will be different. We will have paper sessions, technology sessions and panel discussions, where we hope a considerably larger audience. We expect the audience plays a central role in this conference. Our aim is that this event serves as a meeting point where the Latin American Community can exchange ideas and experiences in the field of Geographic Information and Free Technologies. Different experiences, practices, opinions, interpretations, in short, a large and diverse set of reflections, but all aimed at achieving a common goal: Build a new reality in which Collaboration and Solidarity are fundamental values. Participation in this conference will be open to any person or organization interested in providing a communication, and proposals can be submitted for evaluation by the Scientific Committee. The call for communication proposals is open from today until May 7th, 2010. Information regarding regulations on communication presentations can be found in the Communications section of the Web page of the Conference [2].
