This is an automated email to inform you that your OGC-certified compliance license(s) for the following products are due to be renewed by January 9th, 2026. After that date, your products will no longer be listed as certified OGC compliant and you may not claim that they are compliant.

Since you have reference implementations in your listings please be aware of the following:

  • You need to retest if you want to continue being listed as a reference implementation.
  • If you want to provide a new version as a reference implementation you need to test that new version. The older version will no longer hold the status of reference implementations.
  • If you want to continue displaying the certification for the older version of your product, then you will be required to pay for the certification.

If you have already received an earlier notice and have started the renewal process please ignore this message.

We invite you to easily renew online in our implementation portal: https://www.ogc.org/resource/products/registration

As a reminder, the account used to manage your certification listings is: osgeo (info@osgeo.org)

If you have any questions please send an email to compliance@ogc.org. The OGC compliance team will be more than glad to help you.

This was a topic at today’s GeoServer meeting.

Our certification automatically expires on January 9th providing a very short window for sponsors to step forward to fund the activity.

@kalxas I am busy with the OGC CITE tests for GeoServer 2.28.1, results can be found in GeoServer CITE test results - Google Sheets, but I will formally communicate them to you by the end of the month.

Peter

@kalxas we are doing a call for sponsorship for 2026 CITE Certification - we have not heard back from osgeo board about making this “fair” for OSGeo projects (as only a few can qualify as reference implementations, and the rest need to pay $150 per “standard”).

As I understand the deadline for GeoServer is January 8th.

Thanks Peter,

I will use the spreadsheet to prepare the submission

The board has discussed the renewal of the MoU with OGC and certification is included on the list of things we want to update.

@kalxas and @Peter the request for cite 2026 sponsorship has been met, so we are in position to cover the expense.
