gvSIG Commons
Aiming to produce reusable components not only for gvSIG software but also for other Java FOSS projects, gvSIG project is releasing some products as independent sub-projects at the gvSIG Commons initiative. At this moment the Open Scene Graph Virtual Planets project is releasing versions and is published also at the SVN (http://subversion.gvsig.org/osgvp)
4th gvSIG Conference
The 4th gvSIG Conference was a succesful event with more than 600 delegates where gvSIG developers and users presented their last year experiences. In the same context (the Valencia Conference Centre) a OGC TC/PC meeting and the first Spanish Eclipse Day took place.
There were 9 workshops to show last gvSIG features as well as more than 30 presentations and plenary sessions.

Other statistics
- gvSIG GUI translated in more than 20 languages
- Mailing lists subscribers:
- Users: 1255
- Developers: 618
- International: 521
- Italian: 160
- Known countries with registered users: 42
- Known countries where gvSIG has been downloaded: 59
Areas for Improvement
gvSIG project needs to:
- Open the bug tracking system
- Open the gvSIG project organization to the community
- Stablish a fixed release schedule (like Ubuntu Linux)
- Create more technical documentation in English
Opportunities to Help
- Test gvSIG and report bugs and annoyances at mailing lists
- Write use cases and report them
- Offer services (development, training) with gvSIG
- Propose new features and discuss them on the mailing lists
- Help us joining the testing team for a more formal work
- Help us and join the translation group
Outlook for 2009
- Start a new organization to strength the project and allow new companies, universities and public administrations to participate actively on the project management
- Start a community-driven formal testing
- Release a stable version of gvSIG with new features:
- Refactored data access (hopefully without users taking account of it)
- New symbology support
- Raster analysis (classification, principal components analysis, mosaic, etc.)
- Network geoprocessing
- Topology creation, editing and validating
- 3D support
- And others: LIDAR, geocoding, reports and charts, WPS,...
- Release a stable version of gvSIG Mobile with new features:
- Refactored core with gvSIG desktop compatibility
- Full editing
- Custom forms
- Phone ME support (finally a trully free JVM for PDA!)
- GPS library
- OpenMoko and Android versions
