News from the members
Timo:
- WFS 3.0 support needed for Suomi.fi-maps, test datasets available from NLS-FI
- Red-hat package are available in Timos GitHub https://github.com/tsallinen/oskari-server-extension-template/tree/rpm-packaging/packages
Marko Kuosmanen:
- No news
Jussi:
- Breakthrough with Docker image creations, managed to run all ansible-tasks in sample-configs with some changes. No pull request for changes yet, still needs some testing. It went relatively painlessly. Docker image available in: https://github.com/jussiarpalahti/oskariexp & https://hub.docker.com/r/jussiarpalahti/oskari.
- Helsinki’s Oskari project has not gone forward.
- Jussi interested in the Oskari setup workshop, but can’t participate.
Haflidi:
- Upgrading Oskari (2016 old version) was a bit of a struggle - so many things have changed (and notes from Slack have gone missing!).
- Now only some problems with metadata, Islandic localizations have to be corrected.
- Discussion about the configuration of layers, do we need to add all layers by hand? Sami: Maybe it could be done automatically
- Map projections are a bit confusing in embedded maps (have to look where the problem is). Documentation was not very good on this.
- Anyhow, things have gone further with Oskari in the past two years!
Tuuli:
- No news
Sami:
- Progress on the new WFS-client with 3.0 support and MVT/GeoJSON output. Still working on stuff like styling for frontend and printing.
- New layer admin with React progressed nicely but is currently on hold due to the WFS-client being prioritized.
- Metadata search was broken by the Log4J v2 upgrade and a 1.51.1 hotfix is in the works to fix it.
New roadmap issues
- No new issues
Other issues
Demo.oskari.org - good quality interface examples? If you want to get featured in the demosite, please inform Sanna or Sami on the ingerfaces. E.g. Thematic maps can not be demonstrated now because there is no data
- UN statistics API (worldwide data) & Countries Natural Earth for region set could be used with it
