FOSSGIS und deutschsprachige Open Street Map Konferenz 2012

Note to International Speakers
FOSSGIS and Open Street Map conference is a german-language event primarily for a german audience. The program committee will, however, also consider applications for talks or workshops held in English if they are deeemed to add to the quality of the conference. So if you don't speak German, but are a FOSS/Open Data celebrity, or have a story that only you can tell, please do submit your talk. We are unlikely to be able to provide interpreters, but we'll make sure you don't get lost in Germany.

gvSIG and Sextante in UNIGIS

A gvSIG & Sextante eLearning module has been set up in UNIGIS (Universität Salzburg, Centre of Geoinformatics, Austria) in order to provide the breadth of experience and knowledge necessary to work with gvSIG & Sextante. It focuses on practical knowledge and required skills to work with gvSIG in real situations.
For the course to be successful, it is essential that the study packs are of a consistently high quality. The UNIGIS course material undergoes regular quality checking within the UNIGIS team.
The Module contains a range of learning strategies to develop independent learning skills. It is a distance learning study programme. Students will be encouraged to research topics beyond the scope and to develop informal self-help networks, but the packs provide all necessary material for the module. If students have any questions regarding the contents, they will contact the tutor by email.

The module Tutor is Ruth Schönbuchner, who has logged hundreds of hours teaching gvSIG. She has being working on the gvSIG Project during the last four and a half years making documentation, workshops, presentations, tutorials, handbooks, translations, reporting bugs, etc.

Victor Olaya (main developer of Sextante) and Benjamin Ducke (main developer of gvSIG CE) will attend to her as much as they can. Please consider they are not the main tutors of the module, so we can not expect they will answer your questions directly.
The assessment schemes are designed to conform 3 ECTS (approximately 90 hours of learning experience). You will have to complete assignments of 9 lessons.
The fee of the module for those who are not UNIGIS students is 119 €. The Course will be taught in german. 
Please visit our website, download and fill the application form if you have decided to learn more about gvSIG & Sextante with us.
Within 5 working days, you will get a notification via email that we have received your application.
