== Discussion ==

=== Java has a roadmap? ===

Yes, we had a previous sprint focused on Java 8 compatibility, several features had changed breaking compatibility.

More importantly the Java roadmap has changed to a six-month release cycle:

* six month release cycle is already well underway having started with Java 9 and Java 10.

* Oracle is offering three year LTS releases commercially

* AdoptOpenJDK is setting up LTS releases of OpenJDK .. backed by IBM, Microsoft and others.

* RedHat is focusing on LTS (skipping Java 9 and Java 10) and plans to ship OpenJDK based on Java SE 11

=== Why is updating our open source projects for the Java roadmap a challenge? ===

- Java changed the service provider interface plugin system used by GeoTools, forcing the project to write its own replacement.

- The java runtime has been broken up into modules, not all of which are activated by default. We need to review what sections of the JRE we require and ensure they are turned on.

- Java introduced the module system "jigsaw" providing both a class-path and module-path for loading jars.

- When loaded on the module-path jars are prevented from using the same package. This breaks multi-jar projects like GeoTools library where gt-api defining interfaces, and gt-main providing implementations.

- Jigsaw also locks down aspects of Java reflection, affecting projects like Spring that make heavy use of reflection to "auto wire" GeoServer together. Spring 5 has been released and upgrading to this release will be a key focus.

- With these changes projects like GeoServer need to review of hundreds open source dependencies to determine what other libraries are broken, if an update is available or replacement can be found.

- The java web service framework (responsible for concepts like Servlet and Session) is being removed from Oracle oversight and has been setup as [Jakarta EE Software](https://jakarta.ee).

=== Do you have any experience running sprints? ===

The GeoServer team really benefited from [[Java 2017 Code Sprint|java 2017 code sprint]] and is eager to repeat the success.

== GeoServer Planning ==

Initial planning has started:

* [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-171 GSIP 171 Java 18.9 Compatibility] (GeoServer)

Preflight activities:

* dependency audit

Required updates:

* Spring 5 - Older versions of spring are not compatible with Java 11. Upgrading to from Spring 4 to Spring 5 does involve handling some API changes.
* HazelCast - Like Spring, HazelCast involves a lot of reflection.

Module refactor:

* Repackage GeoServer application jars to prevent conflicts at the package level.
* Resulting application can be used on either the CLASSPATH (Java 8) or MODULEPATH (Java 11)

== GeoTools Planning ==

Planning and work is already well underway:

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Java-9-Compatibility GeoTools Java-9-Compatibility] (GeoTools)

The first completed phase is to allow GeoTools to be used on the classpath:

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Migrate-Units-to-JSR-363 Migrate Units to JSR-363] (GeoTools)
* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/FactoryRegistry-Refactoring-for-Java-9-Compatibility FactoryRegistry Refactoring for Java 9 Compatibility] (GeoTools)

The sprint goal is to refactor the geotools library into modules, allowing the jars to be used on either the classpath (Java 8) or the module path (Java 11).

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Restructure-GeoTools-into-Jigsaw-modules Restructure GeoTools into Jigsaw modules] (GeoTools)

* Core library refactored into modules

[[File:Gt-modules.png|frameless|GeoTools Java 11 modules ]]

* plugins used to automatic modules to dependencies on the classpath

[[File:Module-path.png|800px|module-path bridge to classpath]]

In the above illustration the gt-svg module is used as an automatic module publishing org.geotools.renderer.style.svg package. It acts as a bridge to the multi-jar project batik still on the classpath, completely masking the fact batik is used used to read and render svg files. The core module gt-renderer publishes select packages for use, while hiding others. It makes use of ServiceLocator to access the IconFactory implemented by gt-svg and never has direct use of the batik implementation.

For this to work the gt-svg jar has been refactored, moving the icon factory the new package org.geotools.style.svg. This was required as the package org.geotools.renderer.style was already published by gt-renderer.

We expect:

* Initial focus is on the core library, refactoring to allow jars to be used on the module path as named modules
* plugins will remain on the classpath, accessed via service locator, any conflicting packages will not be visible to client code

== JTS Topology Suite Activities ==

Results of bonn code sprint:

* [https://github.com/locationtech/jts/pull/274 Add module names for better Java 9/Jigsaw support] (JTS Topology Suite)

JTS jars can be placed on the module-path used as an automatic module, the jars have been supplied am Automatic-Module-Name using a MANIFEST.MF entry.

For an example.application using jts-core as a module add '''module-info''':

module example.application {
requires org.locationtech.jts; // jts-core
}

== GeoNetwork Planning ==

[[https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/OSGeo-Java-codesprint-2018 Strategy for GeoNetwork]]

== How to sponsorship ==

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for sprint participants who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following benefits / honours:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in project communication (for example the GeoServer 2.15 release announcement)
* The ability to run on a supported java platform
* Our gratitude :)

This event provides the following sponsorship levels:

For more information on sponsorship, please contact [[Jody Garnett]], [[User:Aaime|Andrea Aime]].

=== How to Sponsor ===

# Contact OSGeo [[Treasurer]] for details on using PayPal or to request an invoice:
# The OSGeo [[Treasurer]] will contact both you and the event organizers to acknowledge your sponsorship
#* Please have a logo ready for your organization if you wish to be acknowledged publicly
#* Your event sponsorship, at your request, can contribute towards [http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship being recognized] as an OSGeo Foundation sponsor

=== Sponsorship Outreach ===

We are reaching out to organizations to see if there is interest in sponsorship:

* Prior sponsors: gaia3d, boundless, ian, geodan, how2map, fossgis, atol, geosolutions, astun
* Local sponsors: astun, vivid solutions, transient software

If there is a lot of local sponsorship we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).

=== OSGeo Funding Request ===

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]], we provided an indication that we would be planning a sprint during the 2018 budget process.

* [[Java_2018_Code_Sprint_Budget_:_Budget|Java 2018 Code Sprint Budget]]

It is intended to that OSGeo be recognized as hosting this event, rather than acknowledged as a sponsor.

== GeoServer Planning ==

Initial planning has started:

* [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-171 GSIP 171 Java 18.9 Compatibility] (GeoServer)

Preflight activities:

* dependency audit

Required updates:

* Spring 5 - Older versions of spring are not compatible with Java 11. Upgrading to from Spring 4 to Spring 5 does involve handling some API changes.
* HazelCast - Like Spring, HazelCast involves a lot of reflection.

Module refactor:

* Repackage GeoServer application jars to prevent conflicts at the package level.
* Resulting application can be used on either the CLASSPATH (Java 8) or MODULEPATH (Java 11)

== GeoTools Planning ==

Planning and work is already well underway:

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Java-9-Compatibility GeoTools Java-9-Compatibility] (GeoTools)

The first completed phase is to allow GeoTools to be used on the classpath:

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Migrate-Units-to-JSR-363 Migrate Units to JSR-363] (GeoTools)
* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/FactoryRegistry-Refactoring-for-Java-9-Compatibility FactoryRegistry Refactoring for Java 9 Compatibility] (GeoTools)

The sprint goal is to refactor the geotools library into modules, allowing the jars to be used on either the classpath (Java 8) or the module path (Java 11).

* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Restructure-GeoTools-into-Jigsaw-modules Restructure GeoTools into Jigsaw modules] (GeoTools)

* Core library refactored into modules

[[File:Gt-modules.png|frameless|GeoTools Java 11 modules ]]

* plugins used to automatic modules to dependencies on the classpath

[[File:Module-path.png|800px|module-path bridge to classpath]]

In the above illustration the gt-svg module is used as an automatic module publishing org.geotools.renderer.style.svg package. It acts as a bridge to the multi-jar project batik still on the classpath, completely masking the fact batik is used used to read and render svg files. The core module gt-renderer publishes select packages for use, while hiding others. It makes use of ServiceLocator to access the IconFactory implemented by gt-svg and never has direct use of the batik implementation.

For this to work the gt-svg jar has been refactored, moving the icon factory the new package org.geotools.style.svg. This was required as the package org.geotools.renderer.style was already published by gt-renderer.

We expect:

* Initial focus is on the core library, refactoring to allow jars to be used on the module path as named modules
* plugins will remain on the classpath, accessed via service locator, any conflicting packages will not be visible to client code

== JTS Topology Suite Activities ==

Results of bonn code sprint:

* [https://github.com/locationtech/jts/pull/274 Add module names for better Java 9/Jigsaw support] (JTS Topology Suite)

JTS jars can be placed on the module-path used as an automatic module, the jars have been supplied am Automatic-Module-Name using a MANIFEST.MF entry.

For an example.application using jts-core as a module add '''module-info''':

module example.application {
requires org.locationtech.jts; // jts-core
}

== GeoNetwork Planning ==

[[https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/OSGeo-Java-codesprint-2018 Strategy for GeoNetwork]]

== How to sponsorship ==

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for sprint participants who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following benefits / honours:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in project communication (for example the GeoServer 2.15 release announcement)
* The ability to run on a supported java platform
* Our gratitude :)

== Discussion ==

=== Java has a roadmap? ===

Yes, we had a previous sprint focused on Java 8 compatibility, several features had changed breaking compatibility.

More importantly the Java roadmap has changed to a six-month release cycle:

* six month release cycle is already well underway having started with Java 9 and Java 10.

* Oracle is offering three year LTS releases commercially

* AdoptOpenJDK is setting up LTS releases of OpenJDK .. backed by IBM, Microsoft and others.

* RedHat is focusing on LTS (skipping Java 9 and Java 10) and plans to ship OpenJDK based on Java SE 11

=== Why is updating our open source projects for the Java roadmap a challenge? ===

- Java changed the service provider interface plugin system used by GeoTools, forcing the project to write its own replacement.

- The java runtime has been broken up into modules, not all of which are activated by default. We need to review what sections of the JRE we require and ensure they are turned on.

- Java introduced the module system "jigsaw" providing both a class-path and module-path for loading jars.

- When loaded on the module-path jars are prevented from using the same package. This breaks multi-jar projects like GeoTools library where gt-api defining interfaces, and gt-main providing implementations.

- Jigsaw also locks down aspects of Java reflection, affecting projects like Spring that make heavy use of reflection to "auto wire" GeoServer together. Spring 5 has been released and upgrading to this release will be a key focus.

- With these changes projects like GeoServer need to review of hundreds open source dependencies to determine what other libraries are broken, if an update is available or replacement can be found.

- The java web service framework (responsible for concepts like Servlet and Session) is being removed from Oracle oversight and has been setup as [Jakarta EE Software](https://jakarta.ee).

FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint

2017-06-27T16:23:44Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* GeoTools */

== Code Sprint ==

Venue: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2017.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2017].
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 19th, 2017 at District Hall (http://www.districthallboston.org/).

Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

If you plan to attend, please signup in the table below so we have ample time for planning of snacks and drinks!

.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with over 200 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

===When ===
* Saturday August 19th 9AM - 5PM

=== Where===
* Venue & Accommodation: Boston District Hall. (For more information: http://www.districthallboston.org/) [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.35229/-71.04528| OpenStreetMap]]

'''Power connector:'''
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] . See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/

== Registered Attendees ==

The Code Sprint does not cost any money. For us it makes planning easier if we know who is coming. So please leave your Name.

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]]:

* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SKwH9ExjJtzONTLw04lMq3Sqy5V9m8CGis5Fpyvgp5s/edit#gid=990228872 Java 2017 Code Sprint] (Google Docs)
* [[Java_2017_Code_Sprint_Budget_:_Budget|Java 2017 Code Sprint Budget]]

== GeoServer ==

The GeoServer team really benefited from [[GeoServer Code Sprint 2016|geoserver code sprint 2016]] and is eager to repeat the success.

=== GeoServer Planning ===

The following topics were proposed:

* [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/CITE-Test-Upgrade CITE Test Upfrade]
* '''[https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/REST-API-Refresh REST API Refresh]''' - see details below
* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Mapbox-Style Mapbox Style]
* Library Upgrade

The sprint does not have to be a single topic, if we can swarm a large beast good, but if someone wants to join and work on a side topic to leverage the presence of others, that’s good too.

==== REST API ====

''The [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/REST-API-Refresh REST API Refresh] focuses on migrating the module from Restlet to the more popular Spring MVC, fixing as many issues as we can, and documenting the result.''

The REST API for GeoServer is popular, but not well maintained, collecting a large number of outstanding bugs. Many of these complain about functionality and lack of documentation. The large number of bugs (API called correctly but produced an error) may be producing more requests for documentation (developer assumed they called it incorrectly, and asks for improved documentation with an example that works).

Internally the REST API is written using an early java library called "restlet" (http://restlet.com/). There is a desire to migrate to spring rest api which is annotation driven and better supported. The risk in performing a migration to Spring MVC is introducing more bugs than are fixed. This is somewhat offset by having a larger pool of developers familiar with the codebase and the technologies used.

/**
* API endpoint to get details on a specific layer
* @param wsName The workspace name
* @param name The layer name
* @param req The HTTP request
* @return The layer, encoded as a JSON object
*/
@RequestMapping(value="/{wsName}/{name:.+}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody JSONObj get(@PathVariable String wsName, @PathVariable String name, HttpServletRequest req) {

Rough plan:

* Create a rest-ng module (alongside existing rest, restconfig, importer-rest, ....)
** Module based on Spring MVC - see simple [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/ProjController.java PrjController.java] example and complex [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/LayerController.java LayerController.java] example.
** Set up converters/encoders for resources
* Migrate restconfig functionality
* Migrate importer-rest functionality
* resource-rest-api
* rest-upload
* Audit functionality against GUI
** shortlist missing functionality for proposal and implementation (examples recalculate feature type columns, rest layer bounds from SRS boudns, ...)
* Test cases should remain unchanged
* Documentation
** Set up documentation team operating concurrently, capturing each resource as it is completed
** Go for a resource description, json and xml example, example of each kind of request (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) as appropriate. See [https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/?language=cURL#styles mapbox example] and [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/wiki/Layers-API boundless example].
** Consider auto generating example output from test case (see [https://projects.spring.io/spring-restdocs/ spring-restdocs])

This activity will require quite a bit of people (all hands on deck).

==== Library upgrades ====

Last year's sprint was devoted to updating a key library and required all hands on deck to help make the transition a smooth one. Ideally we would like to stay on top of library upgrades; however often a change to one has a cascade effect as we need to update (and test) each library in turn.

=== OSGeo Funding Request ===

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]]:

* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SKwH9ExjJtzONTLw04lMq3Sqy5V9m8CGis5Fpyvgp5s/edit#gid=990228872 Java 2017 Code Sprint] (Google Docs)
* [[Java_2017_Code_Sprint_Budget_:_Budget|Java 2017 Code Sprint Budget]]

== GeoServer ==

The GeoServer team really benefited from [[GeoServer Code Sprint 2016|geoserver code sprint 2016]] and is eager to repeat the success.

=== GeoServer Planning ===

The following topics were proposed:

* [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/CITE-Test-Upgrade CITE Test Upfrade]
* '''[https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/REST-API-Refresh REST API Refresh]''' - see details below
* [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Mapbox-Style Mapbox Style]
* Library Upgrade

The sprint does not have to be a single topic, if we can swarm a large beast good, but if someone wants to join and work on a side topic to leverage the presence of others, that’s good too.

==== REST API ====

''The [https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/REST-API-Refresh REST API Refresh] focuses on migrating the module from Restlet to the more popular Spring MVC, fixing as many issues as we can, and documenting the result.''

The REST API for GeoServer is popular, but not well maintained, collecting a large number of outstanding bugs. Many of these complain about functionality and lack of documentation. The large number of bugs (API called correctly but produced an error) may be producing more requests for documentation (developer assumed they called it incorrectly, and asks for improved documentation with an example that works).

Internally the REST API is written using an early java library called "restlet" (http://restlet.com/). There is a desire to migrate to spring rest api which is annotation driven and better supported. The risk in performing a migration to Spring MVC is introducing more bugs than are fixed. This is somewhat offset by having a larger pool of developers familiar with the codebase and the technologies used.

/**
* API endpoint to get details on a specific layer
* @param wsName The workspace name
* @param name The layer name
* @param req The HTTP request
* @return The layer, encoded as a JSON object
*/
@RequestMapping(value="/{wsName}/{name:.+}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody JSONObj get(@PathVariable String wsName, @PathVariable String name, HttpServletRequest req) {

Rough plan:

* Create a rest-ng module (alongside existing rest, restconfig, importer-rest, ....)
** Module based on Spring MVC - see simple [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/ProjController.java PrjController.java] example and complex [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/LayerController.java LayerController.java] example.
** Set up converters/encoders for resources
* Migrate restconfig functionality
* Migrate importer-rest functionality
* resource-rest-api
* rest-upload
* Audit functionality against GUI
** shortlist missing functionality for proposal and implementation (examples recalculate feature type columns, rest layer bounds from SRS boudns, ...)
* Test cases should remain unchanged
* Documentation
** Set up documentation team operating concurrently, capturing each resource as it is completed
** Go for a resource description, json and xml example, example of each kind of request (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) as appropriate. See [https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/?language=cURL#styles mapbox example] and [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/wiki/Layers-API boundless example].

== GeoServer ==

The GeoServer team really benefited from [[GeoServer Code Sprint 2016|geoserver code sprint 2016]] and is eager to repeat the success.

=== GeoServer Plans (choose ONE of the following) ===

We are still at the planning stage so please let us know if a particular topic interests you or would be a deal breaker. The sprint does not have to be a single topic, if we can swarm a large beast good, but if someone wants to join and work on a side topic to leverage the presence of others, that’s good too.

==== CITE ====

The [http://cite.opengeospatial.org OGC Compliance Program] provides the CITE tool for testing standards compliance. Our build process makes heavy use of this tool ... ensuring that each and every release of GeoServer correctly implements WMS, WFS, and WCS.

There are three problems with this:

* We last updated our CITE build tool 2012 (so our testing is quite out of date).
* Our geoserver.org website can only say we are a "compliant implementation", rather than a "certified implementation" of the WCS, WMS and WFS standards.
* New services such as WPS and CSW are not "blackbox" tested.

The OGC provide the CITE Team Engine both as a web service and as an open source project that can be used to check a single instance of GeoServer. This is a little awkward as we would like to integrate these tests into our build server; as such our build server stands up a geoserver instance, performance the tests, and publishes the results [http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/jenkins/view/testing-cite/ here]. These tests also require a database - and modify that database over the course of the tests (so our build server needs a PostGIS running).

Armed with a positive test result we can ask OSGeo to pay for OGC certification, allowing us to update our website. As an alternative to paying money the OGC allows open source projects to be listed as a "reference implementation" (providing an instance of the server is available online for potential clients to test against).

Rough planning:

* Upgrade the test harness
* Make sure the tests are still passing (probably they won’t),
* Add new test that we are missing
** WFS 2.0,
** WCS 2.0
** CSW
** WMTS 1.0
** WPS 1.0,
** maybe GML and KML and GeoPackage
* OGC Certification
** Submit required paperwork, and test results, update website
* Reference Implementation
** Maybe stand up a reference server for OGC to use (if OSGeo or OGC provide hardware) with one test per workspace/virtual service?

==== REST API ====

The REST API for GeoServer is popular, but not well maintained, collecting a large number of outstanding bugs. Many of these complain about functionality and lack of documentation. The large number of bugs (API called correctly but produced an error) may be producing more requests for documentation (developer assumed they called it incorrectly, and asks for improved documentation with an example that works).

Internally the REST API is written using an early java library called "restlet" (http://restlet.com/). There is a desire to migrate to spring rest api which is annotation driven and better supported. The risk in performing a migration to Spring MVC is introducing more bugs than are fixed. This is somewhat offset by having a larger pool of developers familiar with the codebase and the technologies used.

** Module based on Spring MVC - see simple [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/ProjController.java PrjController.java] example and complex [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/blob/master/geoserver/webapp/src/main/java/com/boundlessgeo/geoserver/api/controllers/LayerController.java LayerController.java] example.
** Set up converters/encoders for resources
* Migrate restconfig functionality
* Migrate importer-rest functionality
* resource-rest-api
* rest-upload
* Audit functionality against GUI
** shortlist missing functionality for proposal and implementation (examples recalculate feature type columns, rest layer bounds from SRS boudns, ...)
* Test cases should remain unchanged
* Documentation
** Set up documentation team operating concurrently, capturing each resource as it is completed
** Go for a resource description, json and xml example, example of each kind of request (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) as appropriate. See [https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/?language=cURL#styles mapbox example] and [https://github.com/boundlessgeo/suite/wiki/Layers-API boundless example].
** Consider auto generating example output from test case (see [https://projects.spring.io/spring-restdocs/ spring-restdocs])

This activity will require quite a bit of people (all hands on deck).

==== Mapbox Style ====

The GeoServer application can be extended to work with multiple styling languages (SLD, CSS, YSLD). Mapbox has recently defined an open standard for drawing vector tiles that has been picked up by not only their own software but by the OpenLayers team. Initial investigation into this standard shows that it is a "whole" map standard similar to "sld" describing both the layers that make up the map, and the symbology used to represent them visually.

While some features (3d extrusions, camera and lighting angle) are not suitable for use by GeoServer the rest of it looks quite fun.

References:

* https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-style-spec/

* https://boundlessgeo.com/2017/01/using-mapbox-style-objects-open-layers/

Rough planning:

* Focus on styling a single layer using a mapbox style
** Requires a parser for mapbox style capable of producing the internal geotools style objects; package as a geotools community module.
** Setup geoserver extension and integration for new style format
* Whole map styling (optional)
** LayerGroup defines both an order of layers, and the style associated with each layer - this information can be defined from a single mapbox style
** (Optional) Consider offering SLD the same ability to define a LayerGroup

* JDK 9 replacement for plugin system (service registry) is required

The above ideas may also be suitable to anyone attending remotely who like the focus and support of a dedicated code sprint block on the calendar.

Java 2017 Code Sprint

2017-01-13T14:55:45Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* Participants */

The current plan is for the Java tribe to meet in Italy at the start of March. This page will allow us to plan the event.

We will be hosted at the GeoSolutions offices in beautiful Tuscany for
a week long sprint.

Questions:
# Who would be interested in joining as a participating?
# Who would be interested in sponsoring? ;-)
# Do you have any preferred week between say Feb 13 and end of March?

== Plans ==

We are still at the planning stage so please let us know if a particular topic interests you or would be a deal breaker. The sprint does not have to be a single topic, if we can swarm a large beast good, but if someone wants to join and work on a side topic to leverage the presence of others, that’s good too.

* JDK 9 + maybe JDK 8 updates in the code base (like stream ready support for feature collection, where we can use lambda for profit)
* CITE - upgrade the test harness, make sure the tests are still passing (probably they won’t), add new test that we are missing, WFS 2.0, WCS 2.0, CSW, WMTS 1.0, WPS 1.0, maybe GML and KML and GeoPackage, maybe stand up a reference server for OGC to use, with one test per workspace/virtual service?
* REST API switch to Spring MVC (Andrea and Ian worried about making things worse user wise in terms of bugs) --- idea can we couple also fixing the actual bug reports in Jira? What about the other modules using restlet, importer and resource-rest-api, rest-upload, sldService, anything else? Need quite a bit of people.
* Mapbox style
* Library upgrades

== Participants ==

Please add your name and the projects
you are planning to sprint and note the likehood of your attendance.

Wiki-Ianturton: /* List of initial members */ added ian

=Europe=

Welcome to the wiki page of the Europe OSGeo chapter.

==todolist==

* Decide about the legal structure
* Write meeting report of the meeting October 5 2016 (Maria - Vasile - Dirk)

==Introduction==

FOSS4G Europe is rooted in the FOSS4G Central and Eastern Europe conference series, back in 2012. The latter evolved in 2014 as the first edition of FOSS4G Europe in Bremen. The conference is now becoming the main european FOSS4G event, gathering people and OSGeo local chapters from all over Europe and beyond.

Since the conference in Bremen, thoughts and ideas where exchanged to organise OSGeo more on a European basis. The Industry group was started, a platform of people supporting the idea arose, but there was no real initiative for action.

This year we (OSGeoEU) have the ambition to organise a legal entity OSGEO-EU to create a stronger software group in Europe to defend the rights of open source from the perspective of the Geo-ecosystem.

In preparation for this official expression of interest, a couple of
meetings have already taken place.
a physical BOF @FOSS4G 2014 in Bremen, some mails, a BOF @FOSS4G 2015 in Como and some one physical meetings.

== Why should OSGeo have a European local chapter ==

* Europe has specific needs in terms adoption rate of open source software.
* An important initiative called 'INSPIRE' needs specific localised attention.
* OSGeo.EU is a sparring partner and representation (Single point of contact) for the European institutions in Brussels on behalve OSGeo, the other committees, local chapters and projects. Giving the existing local chapters a voice in Brussels.
* Europe also has specific business ecosystem.
** more than 99% of all the European businesses are SME's
** software industry in Europe is as big as the software industry in the US, but the driving forces are more divided
** FLOSS can be used as an opportunity to create a strong industry leadership in Europe
** OSGeo.EU can play a supporting role in this process

== Mission and objectives ==

After discussion amongst the active local chapter members we come to the
following list of mission objectives:

* Community-building and networking around specific European themes

* support the European OSGeo members using FOSS4G software, help them to organise and bring into contact with governmental agencies and research institutes. Help them with European funded projects.

* encourage interoperability in European projects

* support European open standards and European directives such as INSPIRE

* provide support for the use of OSGeo software in education via European curriculum development, outreach, and capacity building

* to encourage communication between the different European local chapters

* to encourage different communities to work together where relevant

* Organisation of events

* Networking with other typically European organisations and groups (notably OSM, JRC, European projects, FIWARE, EUROGI, SMESpire, ... )

* Being logical parter to European Commission to discuss about open source software for geospatial and open geospatial data

FOSS4G 2016 Code Sprint

2016-06-17T08:15:14Z

Wiki-Ianturton: added Ian Turton and GeoTools/GeoServer grp

== CodeSprint ==

Venue: Bonn, Germany

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.
Unfortunately, circumstances have forced us to divide the codesprint timetable-wise.

[[Image:Basecamp5.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp6.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp7.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp1.png|200px|thumb|right]]

'''The first part''' is scheduled to take place directly before the conference, the second immediately after. The first two and a half days start on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at around noon and are scheduled to end on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 (open end). The '''second part''' starts in the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016 and ends on Sunday at 12 pm.

[[Image:Basecamp2.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp3.png|200px|thumb|right]]

We are happy to have found a really '''awesome location''' for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.
Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.

[[Image:Basecamp4.png|200px|thumb|right]]

Another hint: the BaseCamp is within '''walking distance from the conference venue''' (WCCB) and has good access to public transportation – the Icebreaker takes place here, too.
You see, it’s worthwhile booking here!

As the accommodations are available to all FOSS4G participants, we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. For that, it’s necessary for you to sign up (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint) and leave your email address so that we can contact you immediately accomodation booking is available. We need your sign-up for the planning of snacks and drinks, too!

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for project so everyone is cordially invited to attend the codesprints! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in codesprint.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with an approx. 120 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

'''When:'''
* Part I: Sun 2016-08-21 12:00 noon - Tue 2016-08-23 (open end)
* Part II: Sat 2016-08-27 - Sun 2016-08-28 12:00 noon

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint
* IRC chat during the event: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net
* Twitter: #TOSprint ( https://twitter.com/search?q=tosprint )

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Paris
* Accommodation for four nights (including breakfast)

All other costs - food, outings and entertainment - should/will be covered by the sponsors

== Hotel and co ==

Center of Paris is indeed quite small, the sprint place quite central, and metro network quite dense. 
So no special need to be that close from the sprint place (anywhere else in Paris could also be fine, with less than 30-45' by tube).

However, nice hotels, quite close to the sprint place:
* http://www.astotel.com/hotel/hotel-le-34b/overview
* http://www.hotel20prieure.com/

A common way to find a discounted room in Paris is to use: booking.com

Paris is also well known to became an AirBNB city. 
Could be so a way to share (big) flat, among some sprinters.

And there's also hostels, for those who want/need to find a cheaper hosting solution.
* http://www.hostelworld.com/Paris

== Sponsors ==

We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: >= 2500 €
* Silver: 1500 €
* Bronze: 750 €

We encourage sponsors to support nutriment and entertainment for the
sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four or five productive days.
Contributions will be put towards lunch, snacks, and dinner costs for the
sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable
to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or
used for a future code sprint.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)
* And as extra, for Silver and Gold: Kakemono in the event room (if you provide it)

To sponsor, please contact Olivier Courtin (olivier dot courtin at oslandia dot com) directly.

GeoServer Code Sprint 2016

2016-01-12T20:52:12Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* Participation */ added time zone column to help comms

== Purpose ==

The GeoServer web administration console is built on top of the [https://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket] 1.4.x series,
which is pretty old and unmaintaned. The purpose of the sprint is to update it to Wicket 7.x, the current stable version.

[[File:Wicket-upgrade.png|center|Upgrade from Wicket 1.3 to Wicket 7]]

Due to the large distance between the two releases and the number of backwards incompatible changes accumulated
by Wicket in the years this will require the concerted effort of a handful of developers over a few days, including the
changes to upgrade the code, and the thorough hand testing of the resulting modified interface.

== Sponsors ==

We would like to extend our thanks to the following sponsors:

== Organizers ==

* Jody Garnett - Boundless
* Andrea Aime - GeoSolutions

== Venue and dates ==

The code sprint will be held in Victoria BC to minimize travel costs. Boundless has offered to provide a venue (either the Boundless Victoria offices or a local technology centre).

The date is tentatively set for the week of January 18th.

This date is selected towards of the GeoServer 2.9 release cycle prior to the code freeze in February, keeping resource availability in mind.

== Accommodation and costs ==

Participants should plan the travel, accommodation and meals.

* Depending on sponsorship level guests to Victoria will be hosted at or billeted with local community.
* At the time of writing accommodation for four guests is available (thanks to Jody Garnett and Martin Davis).

We hope to raise enough financial support to cover overseas travel, and possibly meals.

== Sponsorship ==

We have the following sponsorship levels:

{| class="wikitable"

| Gold
| style="text-align:right;" | $1000 CAD

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for overseas sprinters who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication, including GeoServer 2.9 release announcement
* Our gratitude :)

For more information on sponsorship, please contact [[Jody Garnett]], [[User:Aaime|Andrea Amie]] or the OSGeo [[Treasurer]].

=== How to Sponsor ===

# Navigate to the [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo website]
# Click on the "Donate" button in the top right corner
# Donations are handled through PayPal, when making the donation be sure to:
#* Check the currency (USD rates are provided above)
#* Use the "Add special instructions to the seller" field on the confirmation page to mention the event (example "GeoServer code sprint sponsorship")
#* To make alternative arrangements contact OSGeo [[Treasurer]]
# The OSGeo [[Treasurer]] will contact both you and the event organizers to acknowledge your sponsorship
#* Please have a logo ready for your organization if you wish to be acknowledged publicly
#* Your event sponsorship, at your request, can contribute towards [http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship being recognized] as an OSGeo sponsor

=== Sponsorship Outreach ===

We are reaching out to organizations to see if there is interest in sponsorship:

* International organizations (OSGeo, Boundless, GeoSolutions);
* Local organizations (BC Government, Refractions, Vivid Solutions)

If there is a lot of local sponsorship we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).

=== OSGeo Funding Request ===

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]]:

* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mp2xWq95t1rqwle6_WCQ0qD8D9-1icitLH0AiJQ7r4Y/edit?usp=sharing GeoServer Code Sprint 2016 Budget]
* TLDR: Looking to raise $6000 CAD ($4500 USD) to assist with overseas travel expenses

== Sprint ==

The schedule has been broken down by day to help plan activities for those with limited availability. If you can stop by for an afternoon to help with testing, or volunteer online to test a nightly build, please let the team know.

In scope:

* Use of Java 8 syntax to reduce wicket boiler plate code
* Mike Pumphrey will be on hand to update user guide as each screen is completes manual testing

Out of scope:

* Changing the codebase to use a different library (the effort would be at least an order of magnitude bigger)
* Improve the behavior of the current UI (we can make improvements at the end, once everything works, if time remains)

=== Preflight ===

Sprint tasks on the GeoServer wiki:

* https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Wicket-migration-code-sprint

Andrea has done the bulk changes - and good news you can start from eclipse! Bad news 200 compile errors.

GeoServer Code Sprint 2016

2016-01-07T11:34:21Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* In-Kind Sponsors */

== Purpose ==

The GeoServer web administration console is built on top of the [https://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket] 1.4.x series,
which is pretty old and unmaintaned. The purpose of the sprint is to update it to Wicket 7.x, the current stable version.

[[File:Wicket-upgrade.png|center|Upgrade from Wicket 1.3 to Wicket 7]]

Due to the large distance between the two releases and the number of backwards incompatible changes accumulated
by Wicket in the years this will require the concerted effort of a handful of developers over a few days, including the
changes to upgrade the code, and the thorough hand testing of the resulting modified interface.

== Sponsors ==

We would like to extend our thanks to the following sponsors:

== Organizers ==

* Jody Garnett - Boundless
* Andrea Aime - GeoSolutions

== Venue and dates ==

The code sprint will be held in Victoria BC to minimize travel costs. Boundless has offered to provide a venue (either the Boundless Victoria offices or a local technology centre).

The date is tentatively set for the week of January 18th.

This date is selected towards of the GeoServer 2.9 release cycle prior to the code freeze in February, keeping resource availability in mind.

== Accommodation and costs ==

Participants should plan the travel, accommodation and meals.

* Depending on sponsorship level guests to Victoria will be hosted at or billeted with local community.
* At the time of writing accommodation for four guests is available (thanks to Jody Garnett and Martin Davis).

We hope to raise enough financial support to cover overseas travel, and possibly meals.

== Sponsorship ==

We have the following sponsorship levels:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Gold
| style="text-align:right;" | $1000 CAD
| style="text-align:right;" | $720 USD
| style="text-align:right;" | €656 EUR

| style="text-align:right;" | $180 USD
| style="text-align:right;" | €164 EUR
|-
| Beer || colspan="3" | In-kind contributions are graciously accepted
|}

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for overseas sprinters who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication, including GeoServer 2.9 release announcement
* Our gratitude :)

For more information on sponsorship, please contact [[Jody Garnett]], [[User:Aaime|Andrea Amie]] or the OSGeo [[Treasurer]].

=== How to Sponsor ===

# Navigate to the [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo website]
# Click on the "Donate" button in the top right corner
# Donations are handled through PayPal, when making the donation be sure to:
#* Check the currency (USD rates are provided above)
#* Use the "Add special instructions to the seller" field on the confirmation page to mention the event (example "GeoServer code sprint sponsorship")
#* To make alternative arrangements contact OSGeo [[Treasurer]]
# The OSGeo [[Treasurer]] will contact both you and the event organizers to acknowledge your sponsorship
#* Please have a logo ready for your organization if you wish to be acknowledged publicly
#* Your event sponsorship, at your request, can contribute towards [http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship being recognized] as an OSGeo sponsor

=== Sponsorship Outreach ===

We are reaching out to organizations to see if there is interest in sponsorship:

* International organizations (OSGeo, Boundless, GeoSolutions);
* Local organizations (BC Government, Refractions, Vivid Solutions)

If there is a lot of local sponsorship we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).

=== OSGeo Funding Request ===

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]]:

* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mp2xWq95t1rqwle6_WCQ0qD8D9-1icitLH0AiJQ7r4Y/edit?usp=sharing GeoServer Code Sprint 2016 Budget]
* TLDR: Looking to raise $6000 CAD ($4500 USD) to assist with overseas travel expenses

|}

== Sprint ==

The schedule has been broken down by day to help plan activities for those with limited availability. If you can stop by for an afternoon to help with testing, or volunteer online to test a nightly build, please let the team know.

In scope:

* Use of Java 8 syntax to reduce wicket boiler plate code
* Mike Pumphrey will be on hand to update user guide as each screen is completes manual testing

Out of scope:

* Changing the codebase to use a different library (the effort would be at least an order of magnitude bigger)
* Improve the behavior of the current UI (we can make improvements at the end, once everything works, if time remains)

Diversity

2015-03-23T15:40:11Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* Feedback and Concerns */

''***NOTE: This is currently a DRAFT in progress***''

== Diversity and the OSGeo Foundation ==

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) supports diversity in the community: OSGeo community members can safely interact, contribute, share, learn, and be respected for who they are. OSGeo is a large, international organisation made up of members with different cultural, historical, and linguistic backgrounds. Diversity involves acceptance and respect for these differences and more, including ethnicity, race, cultural traditions, religious expressions, age, gender, socio‐economic status, mental or physical ability, and sexual orientation. OSGeo strives to foster growth and innovation in the geospatial industry, and diversity must be respected to reach this goal.

== Where Diversity Applies in OSGeo ==

Diversity and its acceptance applies to everything that OSGeo does including mailing lists, projects, documentation, language in code comments, code sprints, and events.

== Feedback and Concerns ==

OSGeo is a worldwide organization. People converging in the organization have different cultures and background. In some cultures, some behaviors are considered normal, whereas in other cultures might result as disrespectful and offensive. Before getting offended from other people's behavior, consider that there could be a misunderstanding in the communication. Ask yourself if you really think that the other person meant to be disrespectful towards you. Translation is also a common cause of misunderstanding.

Most people in the organization speak English as a second language, and it is possible that they do not always use the language with accuracy or in the way you would.

If you are in an unpleasant situation where one person's behaviour is causing discomfort to you or someone else, consider one or more of these options:

* Raise a direct protest against the person who is causing your discomfort: talk to each other.
* Ask friends or others there directly for help - you are never alone, others will always help you.
* Contact event staff, members of the local organizing committee (LOC), or volunteers.
* Contact anybody from the OSGeo Board of Directors either personally or by email, private and in confidence, at board-priv(at)osgeo(dot)org.
* You may also contact the President of OSGeo directly at president(at)osgeo(dot)org.
* If you think it is appropriate, contact event security staff or local law enforcement.

WPS benchmark 2014

2014-09-10T19:33:22Z

Wiki-Ianturton: added geoserver

== WPS Benchmark 2014 ==

This page contains informations about the (possible) WPS Benchmarking session for the FOSS4G@PDX in 2014.

=== Plan (Draft) ===

* Call for project, call for testing proposition, scénarios and designation of one contact user (for providing private informations, mainly ip, logins and passwords)
* Setup a host that we will call the "test server" and give access to one user per project involved (server specification to come, if there is any specific requirement for your solution to be setup please let us know)
* Call project for installing their solutions on the test server
* Vote then define testing procedures / method / scenarios
* Run the tests on each instances setup on the test server and publish results (at any time a team may modify the setup they made initialy and then ask that a test shlould be run against their setup again)
* Have a WPS Benchmarking web site providing detailed informations about the tests, displaying results in fancy ways ...

=== Projects and people ===

* ZOO-Project, Gerald Fenoy, Nicolas Bozon, Venkatesh Raghavan
* 52°North, Benjamin Pross
* GeoServer, Jody Garnett
* PyWPS, Jachym Cepicky, Jorge de Jesus

=== Available infrastructure ===

A dedicated server was started on april 15th and contain hosts configured for different projects, it have the following specs:

* Processor: Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 (4 cores/ 8 threads) 3.4 GHz+
* RAM: 32 GB DDR3
* Disks: 2 x 2 TB SATA (raid hard)
* Network connection: 1Gbps
* Bandwidth: 200 Mbps

The server ip address is the following : 37.187.89.64.

By now, there is no failover IP available (this can be modified if required) so we need to share ports between each environments. Here are the port definitions for each environment:

FOSS4G 2013 Code Sprint

2013-09-18T11:08:37Z

Wiki-Ianturton: /* Where & When */ added location

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

== Where & When ==

[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.938804&lon=-1.203427&zoom=18&layers=M East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, UK]. The sprint will be in the GeoCamp (the Marquee behind the conference centre).

The day after the main conference (Sunday 22nd September) has been set aside for the Code Sprint. There is also a plan to provide facilities throughout the event in the main venue.

We also have a hackathon running on 17th & 18th September which is also free to attend. See the [http://2013.foss4g.org/geohack/ geohack pages] for details.

The page is being collaboratively edited, targeting completion by Wednesday 15 May 2013, after which it will be delivered by the board of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo Foundation (OSGeo)] to the OGC and OGC voting members.

= Cover Letter from the OSGeo Board =
''Please don't edit this "Cover Letter" statement, which has been approved by the OSGeo Board.''

The board of the [http://osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] (OSGeo) is presenting this letter to the OGC. It highlights concerns about the "GeoServices REST API" from many people within the OSGeo community. As always, if there is anything the OSGeo board can do to help, then please let us know.

= Open Letter to OGC and voting members =

''Please don't edit this "Open Letter" statement, comments and discussion should go in the "Further Concerns" section below.''

May 2013

We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices REST API" as an OGC standard, would have detrimental impacts on interoperability within the spatial industry.

We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it stands in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard.

People have listed different reasons for concern. They are described below.

= Summary =

''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

The document titled "GeoServices REST API" is currently, in May 2013, being considered to be included as one of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. The vote to accept the document as a standard is unusually contentious; the controversy is the cause of this page.

The document was previously released for public comment and can be found [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/89 on the request for public comment page] (though public comment has been closed for now).

The document attempts to standardize a suite of web services such as a service which provides map images, a service which provides geospatial feature data, and a service which performs geospatial processing. The standard focuses on interactions via a defined hierarchy of URLs and using predominantly a particular set of JSON schemas for the exchange of geospatial data.

== Criticism and Response ==

''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

The adoption of the document as an OGC Standard is contentious for a wide variety of reasons including:

* the process through which the document was developed which is thought to lack sufficient flexibility to respond to input from various stakeholders,
* the focus of the document on 'REST' and 'API' which is seen as not matching the ideas others have for these concepts,
* the names of the standard and of the services which are seen as potentially confusing,
* the functionality of the new services which are considered to duplicate that of existing services already standardized by the OGC such as WMS, WFS, WCS, and WPS,
* the addition of a new set of services based on new URL patterns and new JSON exchange formats which is seen as duplicating the efforts of other working groups bringing similar ideas to the updates of existing OGC services,
* the re-introduction in the new services of previously resolved interoperability issues which is seen as failing to build on the existing knowledge and experience,
* the use of the particular JSON schemas which are seen as having little industry acceptance and are incompatible with other widely used schemas, and
* the lack of implementation diversity which is thought to give the vendor of the one complete implementation an unusual commercial advantage on top of the vendor's already dominant position in the domain.

These issues have potential impacts on the use of 'Open Standards' by governments and companies, on the interoperability of software interacting with standards compliant OGC services, on the costs to developers and users of standards compliant software, on the understanding of 'Open Standards' by the public at large, and, possibly, on the reputation of the OGC as a champion of interoperability.

In particular there are concerns by some that adoption of the standard will likely result in a combination of the following:
# The cost to application developers, systems integrators, testers and sponsors to support all relevant OGC standards will be substantially increased.
# Consequently, organisations and/or applications may choose to only support one standard, or only support one standard fully.
# Sponsors (such as governments) who require compliance with OGC standards will discover that applications don't communicate together, due to applications supporting different OGC standards that essentially do the same thing.
# This will result in a diminished importance of OGC, as the "OGC standards" stamp of approval will not equate interoperability.
# After a while, in order to solve interoperability issues, a respected international organisation or program will likely take the initiative to mandate one standard as the preferred standard for all agencies to follow. To date, the OGC has provided this leadership.
# One standard taking prominance over the other will likely lead to the other being neglected or deprecated, resulting in many OGC compliant systems becoming legacy systems in the process. This should be considered an undesirable outcome for a standards organisation.

In response to these issues, the authors of the Geoservices REST API document have stated that:

* the process of the OGC has been followed completely,
* the specification actually is RESTful and does define an API,
* the name, due to the controversy, may be open for modification
* the OGC does not forbid duplication of service functionality, already has duplication between the W*S and the S*S (sensor) family of standards, should not block progress in the name of 'one true way', and harmonization between the services can be considered in the future,
* the JSON format exists and functions, and
* there are alternative implementations for some of these services.

The authors also stress that the existence of a large user base shows the service is useful, and that the standardization of the services at the OGC may encourage new implementations.

= Positions on the vote =
''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

The discussion raises a number of issues, many based upon complex technical concepts and implications. This makes it difficult for voting OGC members considering whether to support "Geoservices REST API" as a standard. The following provides one analysis of the positions on the vote, aimed to simplify and summarize key points. However, it does not necessarily represent the opinions held by all signatories above.

; The pros for accepting the "Geoservices REST API" document as an OGC standard:

:* The OGC should be in the business of developing good standards, not in choosing which standards should be implemented.
:* The proposers of the document want to make a standard and have followed all the rules of the OGC. The work of any such group of members deserves serious, good faith consideration.
:* The need for an integrated suite of services using simple data, which is addressed (partially) by the document, is real. The proposed document is pushing the OGC on this issue.
:* The proposed document could be useful to a number of people.
:* The proposed document is not significantly more broken than the existing standards of the OGC. As one author of standards [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011667.html notes]:
:''"I know how totally impossible it is to write a good standard, so the weaknesses in the existing document seem more acceptable."''

; The cons:

:* The OGC actually is, whether it should be or not, in the position of recommending interoperable standards for geospatial services. The proposed document is not good enough, not widely enough implemented, and not publicly supported enough, to be considered at the same level as existing standards.
:* Adopting a standard implies a desire to maintain the standard, but OGC's desire to support this approach has been questioned by some. In particular, the lack of collaboration and willingness to accept recommendations from the community on this version of the "Geoservices REST API" document bodes ill for the future.
:* The overlap in functionality between the proposed services and the existing services, notably with the ongoing work to modularize the existing services, is almost 100 percent. However, compatibility is low.
:* There is already a published document: http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/geoservices-rest-spec.pdf so there is no need for the document to be adopted as an OGC Standard merely for interoperability with the ESRI implementation.
:* The document, as a new, separate effort, repeats mistakes which were made and since solved by the other services.
:* The document focuses on the past (notably with backwards compatibility and use of only GET/POST) not on the future.
:* The document needs a comprehensive editorial review and substantial rewriting for clarity.

; A conclusion:

Both simple answers are bad.

A simple acceptance of the standard would introduce a new set of 'OGC approved' open services. The OGC approval might enable governments to buy a XXXX-new-name-here-XXXX solution instead of a W*S or a S*S solution. The path forwards towards harmonizing the services is unclear. Fixing this document in addition to fixing the W*S services will be a pain.

Simply rejecting the solution would be bad for the OGC. It would place the OGC in the position of picking winners and losers in the standards business. It would mean that the OGC is stuck on the project of fixing the W*S standards to meet some nebulous future functionality without having any path to get there. It would discourage innovation and progress.

Is there any third way?

Well, actually, there is a different way of thinking of the issue. Overall, there appears to be a shared desire for an integrated suite of geospatial services, originally focused on a simple data model, built on the exchange of well defined resources in simple formats including JSON, accessible and usable using the core HTTP verbs, and discoverable through following HTML links and patterns of URL paths. The hope is that such a suite can be designed based on the best expertise of the OGC, can be widely supported by the community, and can be implemented and tested by multiple groups. Neither the proposed document, nor the current services meet this vision. So the work, ultimately, is on improving all the services at the OGC, first to modularize them, then to enable simple implementations, and finally to link those implementations into a functional suite. Since this is the work that is already happening, perhaps the vote is an unfortunate distraction and the productive way forward is merely to redouble the efforts to create the next versions of the standards.

= Issues with the document =

''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

Beyond the controversy described above, there are issues with the Geoservices REST API document itself. Even if the standard deserves support, these issues could be considered blockers to the adoption of the current, May 2013, document.

The critique is incomplete because it quickly falls into a full editorial review of the text, something which takes a lot of time and effort and is beyond the scope and intent of this Open Letter.

The critique can be found at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique.

Note that some of these critiques hold the document to OGC's current, standards writing guidelines. The OGC has been striving to develop better standards so new standards must meet higher requirements than past standards. The lack of clarity in the proposed document is not substantially worse than many published standards but ought to be resolved in new standards.

''Please add concerns not addressed above as bullet points below. Where appropriate, link to external web pages (such as email achieves). Try to be concise, and try not to repeat concepts which have been covered above, (less words get read by more people). Points you have previously added, which are now covered above should be removed. Words that have been struck out will be removed by Tuesday 14 May.''

== Political Concerns ==

== Commercial Concerns ==
* <strike>Supporting multiple overlapping standards greatly reduces usability while it increases complexity and cost of development and maintenance.</strike>
* <strike>Many SME's have invested in supporting existing OGC standards in their products. They will be forced to choose the standards they support (and can explain), resulting in decreased interoperability, confusion and frustration for clients.</strike>
* <strike>Confusing customers with new, overlapping OGC standards will lower the credibility of companies and of OGC, reducing business opportunities.</strike>

== Technical Concerns ==

* The standardization of WKT for Spatial reference systems is unfortunately currently quite weak in OGC standards. Geoservices REST API is tied with ESRI's version of WKT, which is not properly specified in the Geoservices REST API documents, and is known to be incompatible with other OGC documents, which will lead to a larger confusion. See the following [http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/000166.html comment] for more details on this issue.
* <strike>The Geoservices REST API is not particularly RESTful - it's a thinly disguised service call, not an address space for RESTful objects that can be operated on.</strike>
* see [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique#The_Technical_Approach this discussion] for detailed arguments why OGC WCS is superior to the "GeoServices REST API" Part 6. It concludes: ''In summary, the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Imaging part is at a technological level where WCS departed from some 5 years ago. Inconciseness of the specification at large will make it difficult for third parties to come up with interoperable implementations. The components making up the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" provide natural blocks assignable to the matching SWGs. As for Part 6 of the ESRI "Geoservice REST API", if to become a standard it needs to be discussed in the WCS.SWG for harmonization, clarification, and improvement.''

== Methodological Concerns ==

# Ten months after submitting, no public response (nor private to the authors of the comments) has been made to the various comments sent on the OGC Requests mailing list in [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/date.html July 2012]] and [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-August/date.html August 2012]] during the 30 day public comments period.
# The Geoservices REST API can not be amended (other than editorial changes in the specification document), because of a requirement of backward compatibility with ESRI implementation. Consequently, the standard is unlikely to improve, or its evolution will be only lead by ESRI.
# OGC standards normally require interoperability experiments and a richer process to ratify a standard such as this one. No explanation has been forthcoming as to why a simplified process is appropriate in this case.

A response (from Adrian Custer):

# The OGC is working to release those documents to the public as of 9 May 2013.
# Work on the next version of the document can take any perspective acceptable to those working on the document. (The OGC has no method in place in case two groups want to evolve the document in two different directions.)
# That is not true, the OGC does not require interoperability experiments or some "richer process" for the adoption of a standard; that may be desirable but is not required.

==About The Program==
===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?===

In order to minimize the likelyhood of disappearing students we will ensure that the OSGeo administrative contact and the mentor have full contact information (email, home phone, etc) so that we can keep in touch with them.

In addition, we will make our reporting requirements clear up front. Letting the students know that we will require weekly progress reports, participation on public IRC channels and mailing lists will all help ensure ongoing commitment to the work.

===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?===
Project steering committees will appoint replacement mentors if existing mentors become unavailable or unresponsive during the project period. Where possible we also plan to have backup mentors for projects so the backup mentor can fill in for, or replace the mentor in case of changing circumstances.

===What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project has asked for weekly attendence at IRC meetings or status email.

Further more the mentors are encouraged to actively involve the students in the community, but having the student interact with the mentor through the community channels rather then directly.

Other possibilities include:
# Having potential students work with their potential mentor to prepare a brief plan for the implementation of their project.
# Setting milestones that need to be reached by the student. These milestones would be defined before the student's work begins. A student would subsequently write a brief e-mail informing the appropriate OSGeo or project-specific mailing list when they have reached a milestone, giving a brief description of the work completed to that date.
# Selecting students that have shown interest previously in the geospatial field.

===What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project asked that students act as a "module maintainer" for their work. This role has an expected level of support associated with it.

Apart from that, we are relying on the open development process and the appreciation that students will receive for implementing these needed features to provide positive feedback for the students. The projects will be encouraging the students to take ownership of their work, and to contribute in other areas they may be interested in. In some cases students may also have opportunities for future contract work if they make a good impression on community members.

Wiki-Ianturton: /* Commercial use of OSGeo Software */

''The Open Source Geospatial Foundation is a non profit organization and does not provide commercial services.''

== Commercial use of OSGeo Software ==
There are excellent preconditions to use [[Free Software | Free]] and [[Open Source]] Software packages in [[Business]] contexts. To make most effective use of software (regardless of licensing style) it can be helpful to hire commercial service providers. They can deliver solutions, support and service in time and through regular contracts. In larger environments and complex infrastructures it is normal to hire specialists to look after the network infrastructure, perform database tuning, customize software or consult on the architecture. This applies to both proprietary and Free and Open Source Software.

OSGeo does not provide these services itself but has set up a [[Service Provider Directory]] to make this information available to businesses and organizations in need of professional services and with a budget to afford them.

== [[FOSS]] Business Models ==
[[FOSS]] Business Models models are identical to those of any other IT enterprise. The only element which is missing is selling license usage rights through the proprietary licensing model. [[Professional Support]] and services provided by companies around the world comprise:

* Training, Workshops, Know-how dissemination
* Installation, Maintenance
* Consultation
* Customization of interfaces and features
* Implementation of new features
* Support and Hotline at all availability levels
* Research and Development
* ''add your source of income''

Depending on the focus of the enterprise the business model can combine any of the above types.

== Business Ready Software ==
Ready-to-use software is sometimes called COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) software. There are several packages within OSGeo and the Free and Open Source community at large that can be used right off the shelf (but does not ship in shrink-wrap packages). Others like libraries or SOA infrastructure components need to be installed and configured individually, sometimes in large and highly complex or productive environments. Some such structures need to be maintained on a daily basis, for example if security requirements (Confidentiality, Availability, Integrity) are exceptionally high. Free and Open Source Geospatial software is used in every context and is just as diverse as are the needs and corresponding services.

Graduated OSGeo Software has gone through the [[Incubation Process]] and thus proven to follow the guidelines that have been set up to ensure several soft factors that a software ''project'' cannot always provide out of itself. These include legally clean code and use of external libraries, a functional community and a truly open governance and decision structure. Additionally several formal requirements are set up like the use of a code repository, bug tracking environment and support mechanism, most often through mailing lists.
