Hi, my name is Brendan. This is my first blog post.

QGIS developers might remember me from my work on the WMS provider and the vertex editing functionality around the middle of 2006. Then I dropped out for a while.

Well, Easter afforded me a little spare time to revisit the QGIS code base. I noticed that so I started having a go at turning the Qt 4.2 Graphics View framework into a first class provider of map rendering to QGIS.
