Jornadas de SIG Libre: a European digital mapping conference

Jornadas de SIG Libre - henceforth JSL - is a Spanish-speaking GIS conference. This year was its 8th iteration hosted by SIGTE, the Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing Service of the University of Girona. More information about the organisation, including including links to conference material can be found at http://www.sigte.udg.edu/?lang=en . The conference takes place there each year in March and this time ran from the 26th - 28th. Below I provide a brief introduction to the event and describe some of its highlights for Geoinformatics readers.
