MapServer is an OSGeo project for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web [1]. 2021 will see the 8.0 release of MapServer [2]. An overview of the performance boosts, security updates, code quality improvements, and new features such as an initial OGC API implementation, and PROJ 6+ support.

An update will be given on the MapServer ecosystem - including new sites from the MapServer gallery, related projects such as MapCache [3], and the various distribution channels.

Finally we'll look at how to become a part of the MapServer community and help with the continued success of the project.
