Hi all Thanks for the report, Andreas. Here's my two cents:
First of all I am happy that the workshop was accepted by the AGIT team even though the deadline of the Call for Workshops was over. So next year I hope we come up earlier with a workshop submission. Actually I think that the next CfP will already weill be issued in december this year! As you may have realized is that the gvSIG user community even went a step further and organized a user meeting during the conference. Regarding the feedback to QGIS the most important issues already have been said. Being someone who teaches at university level using QGIS I only want to add following some specific issues which persistently come up from new users: First, some defaults configuration seem to be quite suboptimal and it would be easy to assign the task of an optimized default setting to some sort of "user experience" (UX) team. Second, the testing of the windows version often seems to be neglected or behind the "hardcore linux" committers. Third, the whole handling of the CRS seems to be suboptimal: I'm referring specifically to the layer CRS settings (accessed by the context menu in the layer list to the left). In the dialog there, there currently (1.7/1.8) is no clue which is the CRS which is currently active (or "set"). Finally, there are more than one "modules", where there exists an "old" and a "new" implementation of the same functionality, like the labelling engine. At least for new users I would expect that the new functionality should be activated (maintainers of legacy applications should be experienced enough to "switch" and configure back since they have to test new QGIS version anyway).
