Publicado el código fuente de LibreGeoSocial: una red social libre para móviles que permite ‘etiquetar’ virtualmente el mundo real
Puedes obtener el código fuente y vídeos de LibreGeoSocial. Los usuarios de la red social LibreGeoSocial pueden vincular contenidos multimedia a un objeto apuntando con el teléfono. Por ejemplo, se puede pegar una etiqueta virtual sobre un objeto real y que la persona que pase cerca pueda leerla con su teléfono móvil. El software libre LibreGeoSocial es un programa desarrollado por investigadores del grupo GSyC/LibreSoft para los teléfonos con Android, el sistema operativo para móviles creado por Google. LibreGeoSocial es un gestor de contenidos georreferenciados multimedia. Es decir, permite al usuario de una red social almacenar información (texto, fotos, vídeo, audio…) vinculada a un lugar en concreto. Además dispone de una interfaz de realidad aumentada: cuando el usuario apunta con el móvil hacia un objeto previamente etiquetado le aparece en la pantalla el indicativo que la otra persona ha dejado allí.

Libresoft publishes Wikipedia research dumps
Libresoft is proud to announce that our Wikipedia research dumps are publicly available for downloading.
Since just a few hours ago, Wikipedia research dumps have been published on a repository hosted by RedIRIS. These dumps will save time and effort to all Wikipedia researchers worldwide, eliminating the previous need to parse the huge XML dumps, published by Wikimedia Foundation on its download center, to extract all activity metadata corresponding to a certain language version.
The new repositories can be accessed either by HTTP or FTP.
Wikipedia research dumps have been created using WikiXRay, our tool to automate the analysis of any language version of Wikipedia. These are compressed mysqldump files, that can be easily loaded again on any local database for research purposes.
The first research dumps only include some of the biggest versions of Wikipedia. In the following days, the complete set of dumps for all available versions in Wikipedia will be published. The dumps will be updated on a regular based, depending on the availability of the original XML dumps provided by Wikimedia Foundation.

Taller sobre obras libres r2
La producción de obras intangibles (música, videos, textos, etc.) libres es una realidad cada vez más extendida, aunque aún muy desconocida. Por un lado, la calidad y cantidad de este tipo de obras está aumentando rápidamente, y por otro algunas de ellas se han convertido en referentes habituales (por ejemplo es bien conocida la Wikipedia, como enciclopedia libre). Este taller pretende clarificar los principales elementos que definen las obras libres, exhibir una pequeña muestra de ellas, y compartir algunas experiencias relacionadas con su producción.

Open Source Software for the Development of the Spanish Public Administration: A Global View
The first report published by Cenatic (National Center of Reference for Application of Information and Communication Technologies based on Open Source Software), entitled Open Source Software for the Development of the Spanish Public Administration: A Global View
was presented on Sept. 24, 2008 at Secretary of State for Telecommunications and for Information Society (Madrid).
Currently, only a Spanish version is available, though it is expected that Cenatic will publish an English translation in the next future. This report has been written and coordinated by GSyC/Libresoft, with collaboration from Telefónica I+D.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study presenting an in-depth analysis of adoption of FLOSS applications in Spanish Public Administrations. It comprises case studies, SWOT analysis and recommendations retrieved from a board of experts who where directly involved in the management and development of every initiative. Conclusions and recommendations included in this document are of great value for other Public Administrations and Entities abroad, willing to promote similar initiatives on the adoption of FLOSS.
