Quantum GIS

Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU General Public License. QGIS lets you browse and create map data on your computer. It supports many common spatial data formats (e.g. ESRI ShapeFile, geotiff). QGIS supports plugins to do things like display tracks from your GPS. QGIS is Open Source software and its free of cost (download here). We welcome contributions from our user community in the form of code contributions, bug fixes, bug reports, contributed documentation, advocacy and supporting other users on our mailing lists and forums. Financial contributions are also welcome.

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!
