(pardon my translation below, as I may have made mistakes, trying to correct Google Translate ha) ----- We are pleased to announce that the next Italian Conference on Software and Data Geographic Free and Open Source "FOSS4G-IT 2017" will take place in Genoa from Wednesday 8 to Saturday, February 11, 2017. For the first year this conference gathers together the "XVIII Meeting of Italian GRASS users and GFOSS" and "X GFOSS DAY". The purpose of the conference is two-fold: the exchange of information and experience between users of geographic data and software Free and Open Source for the treatment of geographical information (GIS or webGIS), and an opportunity for new or potential users to discover the functionalities of these systems and the availability of data, and meet developers and advanced users. The meetings are being jointly organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental (DICCA), by the Department of Sciences for Architecture (DSA) and the Department of Earth Sciences, Environment and Life (DISTAV) University of Genoa, involving staff and collaborators in their courses they teach and use geographic data and software Free and Open Source for the treatment of geographical information. The Italian Association for Geographic Information Free (GFOSS.it) will manage the session dedicated to the use of tools GFOSS in Public Administration. Moreover, from an idea born in the seventeenth GRASS meetings and GFOSS held in Parma in the current year, the GRASS and GFOSS user group has prepared a simple questionnaire [0] useful to collect some information about the use of free software and open source geographic scope by the Public Administration. The questionnaire will highlight fears and limitations of GFOSS software, but also highlight good practices and examples of virtuous government. The aim is to draw up a so-called White Paper and to present principles, methodology and any initial results in the session on P.A. The language of the conference will be Italian. Participation in the conference is free, but registration is required. The conference proceedings will be published in indexed journal, details of which will be provided later. The conference will be preceded by a day dedicated to the practical introduction to GFOSS systems through hands-on workshops, Wednesday February 8, and after the conference there will be a mapping party, on Saturday 11 February, organized by the Italian OpenStreetMap community. From Monday February 6 there will also be a GRASS Community Sprint, whose work will be shown Friday at the end of the conference [1]. On the evening of February 9, will have N open dinner for participants, in respect of which more details will be provided at the opening of the conference registrations.
