We would like to draw your attention to the International GeoGebra Conference that will be held in Linz on August 29th - 31st. It would be great if many of you could join us to celebrate the release of GeoGebra 4.0 and share you ideas with other members of the GeoGebra community.
GeoGebra community members can (virtually) send applets to Mars. In a forthcoming NASA project called NASA Virtual Magnet lessons for high school students will include GeoGebra-based quests. We will create a website for the project soon in April 2011.
If you are a student of age 18+, apply for GeoGebra Summer of Code now. You are welcome to apply until April 8th, 2011 to do some coding for one of our projects.
You can nominate teachers in the US for Presidential Teaching Award (PMEST) award who work with GeoGebra in grades 7-12.

Translation of GeoGebra 4.0 is now underway (Spanish translation finished). We will shortly begin the translation of the manual. If you would like to help with this, please email support@geogebra.org.
You can now drag multiple files into the Graphics View in GeoGebra 4.0 and then export them to multiple linked webpages (or to a single webpage with tabs).
Inequalities are now working much better in GeoGebra 4.0.
GeoGebraMobile: several applets on a supported page, and soon you will be able to have Graphics View & Graphics View 2 showing.
We have several good students working with us as part of the pre-application process for Google Summer of Code.
Testing of GeoGebraCAS is underway in Austrian schools.
A lot of work has gone into GeoGebra in the last month, so we are hoping to have a public preview soon.
