The QGIS 1.7 is Released

 

So this awesome happened over the weekend:

“We are pleased to announce the latest release in our 1.X series of releases. To download your copy, please visit the QGIS download page. This release is named after the town of Wroclaw in Poland. The Department of Climatology and Atmosphere Protection, University of Wroclaw kindly hosted our last developer meeting in November 2010.”

The release has some great new symbology and data management improvements continuing the push of QGIS as a full fledged GIS client.  I use QGIS much more than any GIS client these days  and coupled with FME, there isn’t anything I can’t do.

RepRap Build This Weekend at CASA: Live Stream and Updates

This weekend the office is being taken over by the RepRap 3D printer build. The PayItForward team are in – a group of altruistic people who have RepRap machines, printing parts and gifting them to people who want to make a RepRap machine with the requirement that once the 3D printer is running, they print off a set and pass them on in the same fashion.


The team will be documenting, tweeting (under #uclpifp) and hopefully, ustreaming the build as they go, (we will update this post with the stream when it goes live Saturday morning).

Follow Steven (@frogo), Graham (@gklyne), Ben (@benosteen) and Dave (@dfflanders) for more information as it happens.


We will be in and out as well with updates Andy@digitalurban, CASA is moving to our new open plan offices next week so its a weekend of packing and updating on the 3D printer build.
