Just wanted to get a quick note in the blog, that Google Summer of Code is now open for student applications. GeoServer is participating as part of OSGeo‘s project. We participated last year as well, and had a great success with Chris Whitney’s JTileCache project, which has since evolved in to GeoWebcache. There is the [...]
Many of you have likely noticed that the main GeoServer site is migrating from docs.codehaus.org to the much easier to remember geoserver.org. This has been a long running process, that we’re finally approaching the end of. We were hoping to have automatic redirection from the old site to the new, but are waiting on a [...]
Though he’s already snuck in a blog post, I want to give a warm welcome to Mike Pumphrey, the new ‘outreach engineer’ at TOPP, who we’re going to see a lot more of on this blog. His role is still being defined, but he’s basically here as a resource to the community, to help out [...]
GeoServer 1.6.2 is now available for download here. This is a Security Release, which means it contains fixes for two Security Vulnerabilities. We highly recommend that you upgrade to this version. We found out about both these vulnerabilities in the past couple days, and made an effort to fix them and get this release out [...]
The GeoServer team is excited to announce that GeoServer 1.6.0 has been released. There are a host of advances from 1.5.x, and many GeoServer users have been testing the release candidates and giving us great feedback, so this final release should be very stable. Foremost among the improvements is a huge performance increase in the [...]
Though it’s a bit overdue, we finally got around to updating the GeoServer Roadmap. There’s a lot of activity going on, and we generally have a good sense of what should be completed in the next three months, with more and more vague ideas on what may be further out. I still want to work [...]
Though I admit the name made me a bit scared, Andrea Aime pointed out a really nice use of some of our favorite platforms in the ‘WarViews’ project. No, it’s not some geolocated remote missile camera, it’s a project by the International Conflict Research (IRC) group at a Swiss university that attempts to show more [...]
Though they’ve been with us for awhile, I realized the other day that some new developers in the GeoServer community never got introduced properly. They started working for The Open Planning Project (TOPP) a couple months ago, and have been working on some great stuff since then. Their primary goal is to combine TOPP’s two [...]
We are pleased to announce GeoServer 1.6.0-RC1 is available for download (try direct from sourceforge if that link isn’t working). Since beta4 the team has has closed over 60 issues, tightening up every single detail. This is easily the most solid first release candidate that we’ve ever issued, as we are wanting to have as [...]
The Open Planning Project is pleased to announce that they have hired long time GeoServer community member and contributor Gabriel Roldán as a software developer and solutions consultant. He will remain based in Spain, and hopefully should help raise awareness and cooperation with other Spanish open source projects and organizations. Gabriel first started on GeoServer [...]
