[mapserver-dev] MapServer FOSS4G 2021 Talk

[Seth G]

Hi all,

Thanks Tom and Steve for the offer of support - I'll be calling on it before FOSS4G!
Lars - would be great to have another MapServer talk, if there is one more we can have a full MapServer session :-)

I'll be submitting the talk this weekend - abstract below - comments/changes welcome:

State of MapServer 2021 
======================

MapServer is an OSGeo project for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web [1]. 2021 will see the 8.0 release of MapServer [2]. The talk will present an overview of the performance improvements, code quality improvements, and new features such as an initial OGC API implementation, and PROJ 6+ support included in the new release. 

An update will be given on the MapServer ecosystem - including new sites from the MapServer gallery, related projects such as MapCache [3], and the various distribution channels. Finally we'll look at how to become a part of the MapServer community and help with the continued success of the project.
