Objectives of the "Simón Bolívar" The aim of the Simon Bolivar Satellite is to facilitate access and transmission of Internet data services, telephony, television, telemedicine and tele-education. Provides national cover all the needs that have to do with services, especially in those places by low population density. Also aims to consolidate the programs and projects implemented by the State, guaranteeing to reach the most remote placing points in those places with satellite connection, so as to ensure real-time education, diagnosis and information to this population that may not have access to any means of communication and training.
The Venezuelan government says it will also serve to promote Latin American integration and the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). Uruguay gave its orbit to Venezuela in exchange for 10% of the capacity of the satellite.
Earth satellite network also includes the satellite itself several facilities to be controlled on the ground: A
The Simon Bolivar Satellite born as part of VENESAT-1 driven the Ministry of Science and Technology in mid-2004 . That same year he began talks with the Russian Federal Space Agency , in principle, try to achieve an agreement with Russia but in the refusal to the Venezuelan proposal of technology transfer, including the development of technical expertise in project management Simon Bolivar Satellite, Venezuela decides to leave the Russian proposal. Then in October 2004 the Venezuelan government decided to open talks with China who accepted the transfer of technology.
was manufactured and launched by the China National Space Administration a value exceeding 240 million dollars according to the specifications of the International Telecommunication Union . It is expected that the satellite into orbit, Venezuela will obtain greater technological independence. It is likely that the government of Venezuela to build a space center with technical collaboration China.
Along the Ministry of Popular Power for Science and Technology ministries are also involved Infrastructure, Environment ; Defense; Light Industries and Trade, Planning and Development ; Communication and Information and Foreign .
Release Ministry People's Power for Science and Technology announced the launch of the satellite would be following the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games . A start date was given in September, but this was later amended.
Finally, selected October 29 as the final date for launch from the Xichang Satellite Centre . A Long March 3B rocket boost the satellite near its final orbit at 36,500 km altitude, which would be achieved between five and ten days after the release
Organized by the project Geomatica Libre Venezuela 13 and November 14, 2008 will be held in the spaces the Venezuelan Foundation School Planning the Second Meeting of Geomatica Libre Venezuela.

IGVSB The CNTI and unite to develop a free software system that facilitates capture, store , analyze and display geographically referenced information, to promote planning and management efficiency. On Monday 13 October, the National Centre for Information Technology (CNTI) under the Ministry of Popular Power for Telecommunications and Computer (MPPTI) and the Geographic Institute of Venezuela Simon Bolivar (IGVSB) under the Ministry of Popular Power for the Environment (Minamb) signed an Agreement of Interinstitutional Collaboration with the aim of combining efforts for the development of Geospatial Data Infrastructure Venezuela (IDEgeoVEN), Free Software and open standards. CNTI president, Carlos Figueira, said the signing of the agreement formalises the work done with the governing body of matter-IGVSB-mapping since 2007 with the aim of providing the National Public Administration and the wider community cartographic information certified, secure and easily accessible, free of charge. Figueira added that this system will manage information relevant to different sectors of the country, which will promote the efficient planning of projects for the benefit of government administration and community development. The agreement includes the creation of a Community Geographic Information System that will enable progress in various areas of local interest. "The communal councils receive free technology tools and training necesaria para acceder de forma sencilla a la información geográfica publicada en esta plataforma”, apuntó Figueira. La presidenta del IGVSB, Merly García La Rosa, recalcó la importancia estratégica que reviste para el estado venezolano desarrollar una infraestructura de datos de forma mancomunada con las instituciones del Estado; en un muestra de articulación orientada al logro de la soberanía e independencia tecnológica de Venezuela y la democratización del conocimiento.

Having not only software but also the documentation in multiple languages \u200b\u200bis one of the main objectives of this portal. The gvSIG project provides the necessary infrastructure to produce and maintain documentation posted on this website in several languages.
The current documentation is available in full in Castilian, and virtually all user documentation in English too. He now is translating the documentation for developers and user English to German and Italian through the efforts and participation group of collaborators gvSIG Community.
is important to have the maximum of documents translated into English, since it is the quickest way to be translated into other languages. If you want to collaborate and helping to improve gvSIG project documentation can do so as part of the translation groups are being created in many languages, both translating and reviewing the translations, finding possible errors or translation suggestions or improvements.
To do this you must contact Mario Carrera ( carrera_marrod@gva.es ). You need not be expert in translation, but having the desire to collaborate with gvSIG.

GPS navigators guide their users to their destinations once they enter the data (sector, street number, etc.) . The team fixed the route, estimated arrival time, step by step, takes the person, either in your vehicle or on foot.
To work this way, browsers require sufficiently comprehensive digital map with all streets and their names, buildings, roads, intersections, traffic systems and traffic density, whether is possible in real time.
In Venezuela, where the use of GPS navigation is not crowded yet, some are anticipated and, through serious work, have laid the foundations for the technology works without a hitch Venezuelan user.
Ingeolan is a local business that takes the lead in this regard. He has over 15 years analyzing and developing digital maps of the entire national territory. Its general director, Alejandro Madrigal, said: "Our maps are made so you can find directions in the way described in Venezuela. That is one of the difficulties and challenge for us. In other countries, addresses are described by a number. In Venezuela, the address is total chaos, described by a stream great character. Venezuela is a country orphan of good signs. Here comes the first difficulty. We have developed a search engine tailored to address how the Venezuelan describes how ".
According to the executive Ingeolan maps that require the acquisition of a license to legally use GPS, they can add information such as services, schools, population, demographics and other data of interest, because the development of these maps has updated information National Statistics Institute, Ingeolan body with which it has agreements. "With our map distances you can find the best route to get from one place to another. All are made following the procedures for collecting routing information that has to do with what direction one way, the number of channels the cross permisería the intersections. "
Distortion on the webAccording Madrigal, old versions of some Ingeolan digital maps have been used, illegally, by third parties add data to them and offer free on the web. But the director of technology company warns that "when you buy a GPS for a low side and the mapping of some of these other free websites, can you go surfing and see where you're going, but most of the functions of GPS, such as address search of a hotel, a house, for example, you can not locate. Such initiatives ultimately a bit frustrating to the public, because if you watch where you're going does not have all the functions. These applications free pirates are to some extent. "

Tools:
Lessons Learned:
No But the great virtues that currently owns the Google Earth Browser Plugin, during the development of VGICC were some bugs in rendering the plugin between different browser versions.
for instance it is the next segment display for the department of Boyacá:
However, in some machines the polygons are displayed incomplete:
or even on other computers is completely inconsistent rendering:
This inconsistency was reported in the Google Groups forums but so far there has been no satisfactory solution the incidence (For more information see Google Earth Browser Plugin : Polygons don't Correctly render )
