Quantum GIS Graduates OSGeo Incubation

OSGeo is pleased to announce that the Quantum GIS project has graduated from the incubation process and is now a full fledged OSGeo project with Gary Sherman appointed as project representative (Vice President, QGIS).

Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports many vector, raster, and database formats and lets you browse and create map data on your computer.

Graduating incubation includes requirements for open community operation, a responsible project governance model, code provenance and license verification and general good project operation. Graduating incubation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users of the project added confidence in the viability and safety of the project.
