Hi List,

I'm fairly new to the list and I have noticed a few active members that have Swedish (or Nordic at least) looking names. To further reveal my vague knowledge of this community :smiley: I'm wondering if there is any region specific sub-groups?

What I'm after here is really to get in contact with Geoserver developers/users in Sweden.

My company is right now involved in a project using Geoserver here in Sweden and I thought it would be nice to be able to share experience with other "locals".

To my knowledge there is no Swedish developer. Current developers
are based in USA, Canada, Italy, France and Spain.
I guess Swedish looking name were either users on the wrong mailing
list or advanced users that really needed to address some complex
topic with the developers.

So, what do you say list, would it be possible to either set up "regional/country sub-groups" or make it possible to search the member list for country origin or similar?

For the developers list that would not make sense, we are few and dev
matters are better kept in a single place.

For the users mailing lists, it might make sense to setup national
users lists in native language, it may help people who have troubles
with english in fact. At the same time, it would make it harder for us
to help people, so to setup one of these I guess we would need someone
to take care of it and relay back issues and observations onto the
english mailing list (I for one can speak only italian and english,
and a little bit of french). It would also make it harder to search
for solutions in the archive since there might be one, but in one
of the mailing lists you don't understand :slight_smile:
What do other users think? Would you find this helpful?

Cheers
Andrea

Hi,

Well, since here in sweden english is taught as a mandatory second language in school, I say no need for changing the language.
English is the de facto least common denominator.
But, It might be of some interest to put a wiki page (or similar) where one could register as a user or offer comercial support?
I know this is the case with postgresql. http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support

There is one already:

Hi,

My intention for this was really not to create a “proper” sub-group where technical support / dev issues would be handled outside the main forum.
It was just an ide of a way to get in touch with people from a specific region, to make people aware of the location of the people on the list.

A map showing the location of the members of the list (on a country level) would be a great help, then it would be up to each member to contact other members on an “off list” level.
Just a thought.

There actually is a user's map, at http://www.moximedia.com:8080/imf-ows/imf.jsp?site=gs_users

But it's in need of a nice update. Hopefully that may happen soon, using OpenLayers and maybe have it use the new security sub-system and versioning editing. Unfortunately the existing one is on a proprietary front end and the guy running it never responds when I ask for the wfs url or the data behind it, so we'll probably have to start from scratch on the new one.

Not to mention someone has defaced it by putting meaningless locations onto it.

Well, that's part of the problem. First the process of adding yourself is not intuitive, after you hit 'add user' it's not obvious the next place you click will add yourself. And second there's no way to clean up meaningless locations, no rollback mechanism or the like. So I'd like to fix those, and perhaps make some way for users to add themselves directly from the geoserver web admin, ship it as a demo that goes in to a central database.
