We are pleased to announce the second beta release of GeoServer 2.1. Big thanks goes out to GeoSolutions for stepping up to the unglamorous and thankless process of creating a release, not to mention adding lots of great new features.

The opportunities available to those with experience in GeoServer seem to be growing all the time. As more organizations rely on GeoServer for their applications they seek people who already have experience working with the software. The best kind of experience is being able to point to actual involvement in the project, so I encourage [...]
After a nice showing at the FOSS4G Tokyo and Osaka conferences we decided the time had come for a new GeoServer language users mailing list. Taking advantage of the fact that GeoServer just got accepted to OSGeo incubation the new list is on the OSGeo infrastructure, at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geoserver-jp The mailing list is a resource for [...]
It’s official! We are pleased to announce that GeoServer has been accepted into incubation at the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).

WhereCampAfrica is an unconference, in the style of BarCamp and WhereCamp, where anyone can show up and present and discuss the (spatial) ideas that excite them. It should be a [...]
OpenGeo and Safe Software have been talking about working together to make life easier for users of FME and GeoServer. We’ve both been hearing more about organizations using FME to solve their data conversion challenges and then making the results available to the world using the OpenGeo Stack. While many people are making things work [...]
So one of the nice indicators of the success of GeoServer is the fact that skills in the technology can now actually pay the bills. As more and more organizations are relying on it and building solutions using it as a base, those who have experience with deploying and programming with GeoServer have become in [...]
A quick announcement, that we’ve been showing off at Where 2.0: OpenGeo is building GeoServer 1.7.0 to be automatically crawlable by Google’s Geo Search.

This has been crawled by Google’s crawler, and is now findable from Google Maps [...]
