ArcheFOSS VIII proceedings finally online!

Hi all,

Thanks to the effort of +Filippo Stanco and Giovanni Gallo, are now finally online (as Open Access) the proceedings of  the eight ArcheoFOSS, which took place in Catania (at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University) in 2013 (here the ATOR related post).

The event was organized by the Image Processing Laboratory and the proceedings are published by ArchaeoPress, as open access (here the direct link).

Here below you can see the front cover:

In this publication you can find some articles of ours and in particular the analysis of the Taung Project under the aspect of the Open Research (here the slide of the presentation) and +Rupert Gietl's report about the 3D documentation of archaeological underground environment, related with WW1.

Have a nice day!

ArcheoFOSS VI, proceedings of the workshop now available as Open Access

This is just another fast post to notify that we are going on in spreading all the proceedings of the workshop ArcheoFOSS as Open Access. This time, thanks to the effort of Francesca Cantone (University of Federico II - Napoli), we released the publication of the sixth meeting, which took place in Napoli in 2011. The doc is in PDF and it is available under a Creative Commons license at this link.

Here below is the front cover of the printed version, which can be ordered at this page.

ArcheoFOSS I, proceedings of the workshop now available as Open Access

Hi all,

this fast post is to notify that are finally available as Open Access the proceedings of the first workshop "Open Source, Free Software e Open Format nei processi di ricerca archeologici" (en: "Open Source, Free Software and Open Format in archaeological reasearch precesses"), which in the later editions will be known as ArcheoFOSS. The event took place in Grosseto in May 2006.

Since Open Access in archeology has always been one of the main topics of this workshop, some days ago we started a discussion on the official mailing list to try to free some of the proceedings which are actually available just as printed publications. The first result has been the release of the articles collected in the first edition, thanks to the kindness of Giancarlo Macchi Janica. Currently we are working on the other two workshops which are not yet available: ArcheoFOSS V (held in Foggia in 2010) and ArcheoFOSS VI (held in Neaples in 2011). 

The image below shows the front cover of the digital publication of the proceedings of the first edition, while here you can read the official announcement about the Open Access publication (pdf here).
