GeoSolutions porta il GeoServer a Valenzia

Si è svolto con successo il workshop su GeoServer organizzato da GeoSolutions durante le settime giornate internazionali gvSIG a Valenzia. Sono stati molti i partecipanti alle giornate che hanno deciso di dedicare 2 ore alla scoperta di GeoServer.

Il workshop si è svolto in inglese durante una manifestazione spagnola dove la maggior parte degli interventi avveniva nella lingua nazionale, ma questo non ha fatto desistere i partecipanti che hanno mostrato al contrario un grande interesse.  

Un ringraziamento alla gvSIG association per il sostegno al software open source manifestato attraverso l'organizzazione di un evento con lo scopo di condividere esperienze a livello internazionale e per il supporto dato a GeoSolutions nell'organizzazione del workshop.
