[Qgis-developer] Announcement: Sponsored developer appointed

[Tim Sutton]

Dear QGIS users and developers

We are pleased to announce that Martin Dobias has been appointed to  
work on getting QGIS 0.8 ready for release as part of our sponsored  
developer programme. From Slovakia, Martin is an established  
developer on the QGIS team, having contributed the new canvas system  
for QGIS 0.8. He is also working on Python bindings for QGIS (see  
http://blog.qgis.org/?q=node/29) which will be available in a future  
release of QGIS.

We would like to thank the many people who have already contributed  
to our funding drive (http://qgis.org/content/view/131/105/) for  
their generous support.  If our funding drive continues to be so  
successful, their is always the option of hiring additional bug  
squashers. So if you are interested please send Gary a note  
expressing your desire to be considered.

Martin's main job will be to kill bugs in the QGIS bug tracker marked  
as 'critical' and 'must fix'. Once these bugs have been resolved QGIS  
0.8 will be released.

We will post regular reports on Martin's progress.

Best regards
