\section*{ Key Accomplishments }

\subsection{Releases:}{
\begin{enumerate}
	\item   1.0.1 (4 of January) 
	\item   jCRS and geoBD pilots (21 and 22 of February) 
	\item   1.0.2 (9 of May) 
	\item   SEXTANTE 0.1 (7 of June)

\end{enumerate}
}

\begin{itemize}
	\item   gvSIG has joined the SEXTANTE project, adding to gvSIG a powerful and extensible framework to create easily raster and vectorial algorithms. Nowadays SEXTANTE adds to gvSIG almost 200 algorithms. 
	\item   gvSIG has been translated into many languages, and the web site is now offered in English and Chinese besides Spanish and Valencian languages. 
	\item   Some developers and managers presented at FOSS4G 2007 in Victoria (Canada) current and near features, as the 3D extension and gvSIG for mobile devices. 
	\item   The 3rd gvSIG meeting was a successful event, with more than 500 attendees from many countries, presenting project advances, new applications and projects using gvSIG as underlying technology as well as other FOSS4G projects like Geonetwork Open Source. 
	\item   gvSIG has entered into OSGeo incubation as a way to improve the relationship of the project with the community and other FOSS4G projects

\section*{ Areas for Improvement }

\begin{itemize}
	\item   The collaborative infrastructure needs to be improved, allowing community to interact with the project in a more efficient way. 
	\item   The user, and specially, the developer documentation has to be on the website not only as PDFs. 
	\item   Keep the organization more in touch with the community, giving information about the technical and organizational decisions, ongoing projects, and so on. 
	\item   Improve the use of the English language to foster the communication with non Spanish community. 
	\item   Improve the communication channels with other FOSS4G projects to find common approaches for tools, procedures, etc. 
\end{itemize}
