 === Free GIS Book ===
-The '''Free GIS Book''' is one of the most important initiatives of the Spanish Local Chapter. With the leadership of Victor Olaya, a group of authors have organized a common effort to create a book about Geographical Information Systems from the theoretical point of view, agnostic of any specific software and covering the main areas of that discipline. This  is a Free content project, using a Creative Commons license (2.5 CC-BY-SA) and supported by OSGeo infrastructures.
