Current activities and plans

There has been less work lately, and I have more free time to spend on interesting and useful things.

I have resumed work on GdalTools, but the frequency and number of commits are not as high as before. Mostly small improvements and bugfixes.

From time to time, I fix bugs in my own and other people’s QGIS plugins. I also write articles and notes, not often and not very long, but still. If someone had told me 5-10 years ago that I would be writing articles, I would not have believed them. But here we are.

I’m involved in polishing and improving fTools, which is where my more or less active participation in the life of the QGIS project began: just today I submitted three more patches and picked up a few more bugs to fix.

I plan to get my hands on Ubuntu (and thus Debian) and the process of creating a LiveCD, because I want to participate in the creation of a localised (Ukrainian and Russian) version of Arramagong — LiveCD/DVD for GIS specialists.

And with the possibility that QGIS will eventually migrate from Subversion to Git, it’s a good idea to improve my skills with that version control system.
