“Luigi is a great person to deal with: skilled, open minded and pragmatic. We worked together in a tracking project where he implemented rapidly many features to our Java Android App, solving in real time needs and problems coming from field tests (barcode scanning, GPS and data transfer, various functions to minimize operator efforts). He did a great job to mantain the app without messing it up with the dozens of new features that weren't planned at the beginning (just to mention some: mirroring data to second external server, regex field to verify scanned barcodes, GPS fix timing). He also helped the team working on the server side, by giving a strong contribute for remote data interfacing (PHP server side scripts). His being proactive with solutions and new ideas is a well appreciated peculiarity, helping making the project more flexible and solid through the several releases.”

QGIS is the leading alternative to proprietary GIS software. It is a mature, free, and open source desktop GIS software that runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It is free of onerous licensing schemes and is accessible to everyone who knows how to use it. Generally, GIS software packages are some of the most sophisticated and complex a person can use.

QGIS is the leading alternative to proprietary GIS software. It is a mature, free, and open source desktop GIS software that runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It is free of onerous licensing schemes and is accessible to everyone who knows how to use it. Generally, GIS software packages are some of the most sophisticated and complex a person can use. QGIS includes tools for managing databases, displaying and editing spatial data, performing spatial analyses, and automating workflows with scripting. Although QGIS is described as intuitive, it is also by default complex. Knowing which tools to use and how to apply them is essential to producing valid deliverables in a timely fashion.
Starting with a quick introduction to get everyone up and running, you will quickly move onto mastering QGIS. By the end of the book, you will understand how to work with all the aspects of QGIS, and will be ready to use it for any type of GIS work.
Create, populate, and manage spatial databases, create custom symbols and color ramps, use blending models, prepare vector and raster data for processing, explore common geometry conversions for data manipulation including classification and interpolation, and master data creation and editing techniques through geocoding, georeferencing, and topological editing. Finish with a flourish by exploring the core technical elements of QGIS, including the processing toolbox, automating workflows with batch processing, creating graphical models, and running data processing scripts whilst writing your own QGIS plugin with pyqgis.
Through this practical guide, you will learn everything you need to comprehensively master this powerful and industry-leading GIS software package.Other authors -

RIADE, ACS, GRASS: research, business and free software a browser and a 4D visualizer for time series of georeferenced data
http://geomatica.como.polimi.it/workbooks/n5/
RIADE (Integrated Research for the Application of innovative processes and technologies for fighting Desertification) is a project cofinanced by MIUR (Minister for Education, University and
Research) for developing an integrated and technologically innovative information system for
monitoring desertification processes in South Italy, with the aim to promote interventions for the
safeguard of the territory.

Research) for developing an integrated and technologically innovative information system for
monitoring desertification processes in South Italy, with the aim to promote interventions for the
safeguard of the territory.
Among the requirement of the RIADE project, there was the need to manage very heterogeneous data geographically and temporally organized, to visualize in 4D (3D + time).
The choice of the software tools to use and develop has fallen on GRASS for its technical features, for its integration with PostgreSQL, PostGIS e QGIS and also because, being free software, it decreases the problems and costs linked to the licenses of the proprietary software for the final users (mostly public researchers).
This work shows how the free software can represent a convenient (business) opportunity for a
private Italian firm that mainly develops software on commission.
ACS task has been to build an end to end solution, by integrating all the packages and implementing the missing functions, so that the user could see an homogeneous environment, in which the data could automatically and seamlessly flow, regardless of the different data formats, and could be selected and visualized in 4D (3D + time).
The various geographic data, both historic and acquired in the scope of the project (satellite images, field surveys, thematic maps), are ingested in a PostGIS database in which a visual browser is implemented through QGIS, that let the user to execute 2D spacetime queries and to extract, convert and automatically import into GRASS, data from the areas of interest. These data can be viewed in 4D by means of specifically implemented NVIZ extensions, for managing of time series and for immersive 3D navigation (flythrough).Other authors -

The role in the project was so Technical coordination and development of the RVA (Repository, Visualization and Archive) that is a GIS to real-time visualization of geographic data evolving during the time.
RVA ha been inplemented integrating free software solutions (QuantunGIS-QGis and GRASS GIS) adding new funtionalities. Development has been in C++ and Tcl/Tk
Some new funcionalities has been accepted in the GRASS GIS main code (particularly in the NVIZ, the 3D visualization tool integrated in GRASS). This action has released more than 3200 code line in the GRASS project granting access to source code as committer.
Results of this free software activity could be found in two article presented during meeting of the Itaian GRASS community and Italian Geografic Free Software community (Gfoss.it):
