Two events are happening in the next few months that may interest you if you live in the USA or Europe: Open Source Geospatial '05 (USA) and LinuxTag (Europe). The Open Source Geospatial conference will be held from June 16-18, 2005 in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. LinuxTag will be held from June 22 to 25, 2005 though we expect a QGIS presence there only on 24 and 25 June.
Several QGIS developers and users plan to be at each conference and we'd love to see more QGISSERS there. In LinuxTag, we are planning a 'hackfest' where we will exchange ideas and implement new features for the 0.8 development version of QGIS. If you are interested to attend either of these events and would like to meet up with fellow QGISSERS please make yourself known on the users mailing list. We'll be easily spotted at the conferences as we'll be sporting spiffy new QGIS tshirts from the QGIS online shop!
Please note that we have decided not to man a stall at LinuxTag this year because we dont have sufficient people to be there all the time. Hopefully next year we'll have some more vounteers and will be able to provide a continuous presence. |

Hello, Can I Help you?
QGIS is growing. More users are
discovering it and finding out just how fun and easy it is to work with
spatial data. More developers are jumping on the bandwagon and helping
us add new features, fix problems and generally make QGIS a more
pleasant user experience. You may or may not have heard that we
are going into 0.7 feature freeze in about two weeks. That means we
will stop adding new features and try to stabilise the stuff we have
done. We'll be hunting down as many bugs as we can find (and squashing
them dead!). No complicated software application such as QGIS can ever
be 100% bug free but we are going to try our best.
I often hear QGIS
users say "I'd love to contribute but
I don't know any C++". Well guess what? There are heaps of
useful things you can do to make QGIS better and help us get ready for
the upcoming release. Here are some suggestions. If you want to help,
pick an area below that interests you, let everyone know via the
mailing list (so that we can avoid duplicating effort) and go for it!
As reward for your efforts, you will receive honourable mention, and
instant celebrity status. Better get used to signing autographs and
wearing dodgy over priced sunglasses - you're gonna need them! Read on to find out more...

For this week's interview, we travel to New Zealand to chat to Brent Wood (known as baw on IRC) to find out how Open Source GIS tools are being applied in the fisheries industry. Brent is co-author of a chapter in Geographic Information Systems in Fisheries and has presented papers on the use of Open Source software in the fishery industry at conferences held by the Fishery-Aquatic Reseach Group. The interview was conducted by Tim Sutton, Tyler Mitchell and Gary Sherman over IRC. |
