This is yet another great day for FOSS4G admirers. Latest version of Quantum GIS(QGIS) is live, that too with several major improvements over 'Copiapo' release. This gains significance as probably the last public point release in the 1.X series. Hereafter the next major release will be version 2.0. Till the 1.7 will be receiving minor release updates in the form of 1.7.1, 1.7.2 and so on.

This release is named after the town of Wroclaw in Poland.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the FOSS4G 2011 program. You can view the program details here http://2011.foss4g.org/program/session-schedule. Selection was very competitive - we had almost 300 submissions for around 150 sessions. So congratulations to those who made it, and commiserations to those who didn't, but we hope to still see you in Denver for the conference! We feel we have an excellent program lined up.
