Summary: | The QGIS open source software comprises storing, organization, processing, integration and analysis of geospatial data. This article aims to present the consolidation of portability process of the open source geoprocessing software QGIS for the brazilian public, through the project “Adequation of the Computational Application QGIS, a Geographic Information System to the Brazilian Public”. The results of the project, which is still in progress, indicates an increase in the numbers of users of QGIS, search in websites, exchange of information in virtual groups and interaction in social networks. These results are mainly achieved by maintaining the translation of QGIS and promoting other divulgation methods. The continuity of this actions will allow even more users to have access to this open source geoprocessing tool. |
