[Geoserver-devel] Call for proposals: budget for OSGeo support (including sprints)

This year OSGeo provided funding for the GeoServer code sprint and for legal advice on GeoTools copyright headers. The sprint was very successful and resulted in the Wicket upgrade, and the legal advice helped sort out our copyright header rules.

One issue that came up at this week's committee meeting is a request from the OSGeo board for a budget for 2017. A budget helps both OSGeo and the GeoTools and GeoServer communities to plan. If we can think of activities that we would like OSGeo to support, we can request a budget ahead of time, and have a much better idea of the funding that is available.

What do we want to do in 2017 to advance GeoTools and GeoServer? Another sprint? Please share your ideas.

Kind regards,

On a slightly related note - the UK OSGeo chapter has a surplus of funds currently and are looking for good causes to support, they have already made a contribution to the QGIS3 funds drive and I suggested that they might like to fund GeoServer & GeoTools. The only issue is how as a project we could receive funds.

Hi Ben,
a few random ideas for a sprint (assuming we can “stop the world” and organize one):

  • (blasted) CITE tests upgrade
  • Assorted library upgrade (e.g., HSQL, H2, commons-dbcp, log4j just to make some example… hey, we could upgrade Wicket again, they are about to release 8.0 :-p )
  • REST migration to Spring (or other library of choice)
    Cheers

Darn Andrea those are all great ideas… one more:

  • For GeoTools specifically we need to plan for Java 9 (making our own service registry that uses service loader).

Hi all,
btw, if the sprint takes place sometimes after the mid of February, GeoSolutions offices are available to host it :slight_smile:
It would also be a good season to get hotel discounts I believe… provided it is organized to avoid
the “Carnevale”, which is going to put a premium on hotel prices.

Cheers
Andrea
