CMake - cross-platform build systemA few minutes ago, Bill Hoffman from Kitware posted short message to the CMake project mailing list with an interesting announce:

Kitware launched its first developer blog today with contributions from Company technical and business leaders.

The CMake build system is one of the main category of topics on the Kitware blog, so I presume it may be of interest of OSGeo Community as the CMake build system is slowly winning over more and more folks here :-)

First CMake-related post is about Deploying on Windows with DLL Manifest Issue

Another interesting post on the blog is Will Schroeder’s answer to the question Why Open Source Will Rule Scientific Computing? It’s really worth reading.

QGIS Community has announced the contests for new name of the next QGIS release.

Hurry up and Name the Next QGIS Version!

Previous versions were named after developer’s pets now. If you are courious about what pets own QGIS developers take a look at this table. It was funny indeed but QGIS Team decided to change it now to get more interesting and unique names for next versions. So, we need you help!

There are 29 names so far. I vote for my own proposal Spatially Adjusted which I’ve stolen from James Fee’s blog. James I hope you are not angry with me, it’s just for fun ;-)
