Subject: FreeGIS update: CD v1.0.4 released and more

A new version of the FreeGIS CD v1.0.4 is available now.

Basically a maintainance release, 
it features new versions of the well known tools 
and is available for the ppc architecture for the first time.

The project still looks for ftp mirror sites.


A bunch of things have been going on with the FreeGIS project:

 * GRASS 5.0beta8 has been released. This is another step towards
   the first stable 5.0 release. There are about 18 developers with
   write access to the CVS server. 

 * The entries on http://freegis.org have grown so fast that
   the site will have to be redesign as soon as possible.
   The dynamic is hard to track, but free software components for
   GIS systems are on the rise. I cannot even start to list the nice
   software packages available now, you will need to wade through
   the long list or wait for the restructuring of the site.

 * We have about 70 member on the freegis mailinglist know.

 * Intevation GmbH and Frank Warmerdam will work on a sourcexchange
   project to build a bridge from OSSIM (www.remotesensing.org/ossim) 
   to GRASS.

Regards,
