News from the members
Marko Kuosmanen:
- Content-editor changes in the works:
Server-side code is being refactored to use XMLStreamWriter instead of StringBuilder to get rid of some TODOs in the codebase. Frontend is being modified to allow multiple features to be edited at once (the properties of features, not geometry). PR is coming and Sami reminded that small PRs are easier to check and approve than a big code dump with multiple changes.
- Oliver is also making some tilematrix handling fixes for print functionality (WMTS issues, new guy at Sitowise)
Timo:
- New WFS support tested in Suomi.fi-maps
- Taken to production after summer
Sanna:
- Oskari workshop in FOSS4G Bukarest https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PmIxRFXxixCb5Szb-hGFG-hcojgk4Nm7sUICZOlmnv4/edit#gid=1318666739
- Oskari joins OSGeo Park in GIS-EXPO 2019 (Paikkatietomarkkinat)
- Oskari installation workshop 28.11. with Ubigu & Gispo https://www.oppia.fi/courses/oskari-asennustyopaja-oskari-haltuun/fc0c8e5fc77b700d6b13c5502809982a
Tuuli:
- RPC consulting has been procured and testing period coming up in the fall
Sami:
- Example webapp has been removed from oskari-server and moved to a “template” repository “sample-server-extension “
- This guides users on the right track from the start instead of having another example app inside the Oskari codebase.
- GitHub template functionality was enabled for https://github.com/oskariorg/sample-server-extension and https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-server-extension-template
- The old template repository (“oskari-server-extension-template”) will be removed with the release of 1.53.0 leaving only one option for server apps to avoid confusion.
- Map layer rights development is being continued
- 3D map engine coming to Oskari from Paikkatietoikkuna during summer-fall
- OSGeo Foundation issues: projects that have been under incubation status have been taken into proper check by OSGeo. OSGeo checklist has been revised and needs to be completed again for Oskari (once we get some more details about it).
New roadmap issues
- https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-docs/issues/109 ⇒ approved
- https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-docs/issues/112 ⇒ approved
Other issues
- New PSC member proposals will be made and voted on in the mailing list
- We still need to work on people moving from private emails and messages to using the mailing list and GitHub: Messaging privately is negative for the community and frustrates both the sender and the recipient.
Next meeting
Next meeting: 13.8.2019, scheduled now every month, every second week tuesday at 13:00 (GMT+3)
