Ian has been a member of our community from the very beginning, as an original voting member who gathered in Chicago in February 2006 to establish OSGeo. He also is a co-founder of GeoTools, the Java library that is the foundation for the Java ecosystem in OSGeo, and a Project Steering Committee (PSC) member of GeoServer. But more importantly, for decades he has been helping new users, through talks, workshops, answering questions on StackExchange, and always being a kind and jovial person. We are lucky to have him in this community. Congrats Ian! About the Award: The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) is awarded annually by OSGeo to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm. The award acknowledges both the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come. -- OSGeo News | https://osgeo.org From news_item at osgeo.org Sat Sep 5 12:29:26 2026 From: news_item at osgeo.org (OSGeo News) Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 21:29:26 +0200 Subject: [OSGeo-Announce] pgRouting version 4.0.2 released In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <80156af1-3479-4670-8492-2243640cfa21@osgeo.org> https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/pgrouting-version-4-0-2-released/ Hello pgRouting community, The pgRouting Team is pleased to announce the release of pgRouting version 4.0.2 The latest release is available at [1].
