pycsw Team: Using keywords from a thesaurus as queryables
sur Planet OSGeo
Using keywords from a thesaurus as queryables
A common convention in catalogues is the use of keywords from a dedicated thesaurus. The assignment of these keywords can then later be used to filter or query the catalogue by these terms. To achieve this use case in pycsw, some configuration needs to be tailored. This blog post indicates the changes needed for this scenario.

For this example we’ll use a keyword from the INSPIRE Themes thesaurus. We will define a new queryable inspiretheme, which will be populated with the relevant keyword (if present).

You can repeat these steps for any other thesaurus.
Extra database column
Extend the records table in the database with an extra field for the selected thesaurus. This is usually a manual operation on the database.
```
ALTER TABLE records
ADD inspiretheme VARCHAR(255);
```
Add parameter to pycsw
In pycsw/core/config.py the newly created database column can be registered to pycsw.
```
'pycsw:InspireTheme': 'inspiretheme',
```
Add column to mapping
etc/mappings.py links the pycsw parameter to the columnname in the table.
```
'pycsw:InspireTheme': 'inspiretheme',
```
Define parameter as queryable
Which of the parameters are queryable is defined in pycsw/core/repository.py.
```
'inspiretheme': self.dataset.inspiretheme,
```
Add parameter to record results?
Keywords are already published in records, so there is generally no need to extend the record with the new parameter. If needed you can do so in pycsw/ogc/api/records.py (Line 1150).
Populate the parameter from record imports
We have 2 options here, either manage the population of the column within the database as part of an insert trigger on the record.themes field. Alternatively update pycsw/core/metadata.py so the column is populated when records are imported.

For the second option consider the following code. For each of the keyword blocks, it tries to match the thesaurus title or uri and, if matched, adds the keywords to the new parameter.
```
_set(context, recobj, 'pycsw:InspireTheme', ", ".join(
    [", ".join(k.name for k in t.keywords if k.name not in [None,'']) for t in md_identification.keywords if ( hasattr(t,'thesaurus') and 
        t.thesaurus not in [None,''] and ((
            'title' in t.thesaurus and t.thesaurus['title'] not in [None,''] and
            t.thesaurus['title'] in ['GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0','GEMET Themes, version 2.3']
        ) or (
            'uri' in t.thesaurus and t.thesaurus['uri'] not in [None,''] and
            t.thesaurus['uri'] == 'http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme')))]))
```
Add parameter to OGC API - Records facets
Facets enable to further limit search results. Keywords from thesauri are very useful to add as facet. Add the paremeter to default.yml.
```
facets:
    - type
    - inspiretheme
```

XYCarto: Cartographic Aotearoa
sur Planet OSGeo
I try hard to keep this blog about basic open source processing in GIS. I don’t spend much time talking about my cartographic work, since I like put it up in the gallery and try to let it speak for itself. Further, 90% of my cartographic products involve processing data before it ever gets to visualization, therefore, I see more value in demonstrating the basic processing and hopefully inspire folks to do their own thing once their data is in place.

If you might indulge me; however, I’d love to toot my own horn as they say and do a write up on my acceptance to the Atlas of Design this year and the honor to do a brief interview with Radio New Zealand (RNZ) about the map.
I know it is a bit cheeky to put up recognition of one’s own work, but this map was the culmination of several years of iterations, heaps of footwork getting it known, and a number of rejections along the way. I’m just so excited to finally get it out there to a wider audience.

Since this is primarily an open source blog about GIS, and that several have asked me about my tech stack I’ll share a portion of it here. If you want to get a feel of some of my blending techniques, you can see some past blogs where I wrote this up.
- Building the Welly Model
- Auckland Viz
As I mentioned above, that vast majority of my cartography is in data prep and making data easier to work in visualization projects. I have a fairly simple tech stack for data prep.
- QGIS – Base map layout. My method is most often to develop the base image here, but do all the post processing for legends, supporting text, graphics, etc in specialized layout software. QGIS is amazing at handling large file types, blending, and making repeatable color palettes. Doing work at a national and world scale is often without issue.
- GDAL – Most used in the stack for prepping large scale raster data. Used more than anything else in GDAL for my vis work is gdalwarp, gdal_translate, gdaladdo, gdalbuildvrt, and gdaldem [hillshade, slope]. These are often used in bash scripts to repeat processes allowing me to easily develop multiple resolutions, scales, and resamples.
- GeoPandas – Used for vectors and primarily for my cleaning to get lighter GPKG files, automating redundant processes like clips, simplification, and table manipulation. It is an amazing tool I use a lot in development too.
- Python/Bash – Used for controlling all the automation and processing. Depending on the complexity of the task at hand, I will bounce between the two. Bash is really great at multi-core processing and can save enormous amounts of time in redundant processes.
- Colorhexa /Gpick – Palette development. Gpick is incredibly helpful in sampling imagery to find a color value you like. You can bring these values into Colorhexa and start to develop gradients and divergent values all the while keeping within your tone. There are many other sites that will help you do this, I just happen to enjoy this one.
- Docker – An unlikely item in a cartographic stack, but Docker has proved invaluable to me by allowing me to run multiple versions of QGIS and GDAL without wrecking my machine. I have a basic QGIS/Docker example here.
For those out there who have supported me on this journey and even those who lurk in the shadows, I cannot thank you enough for reading, liking, and sending me messages letting me know you are out there and find some of this useful. It helps more than you know and motivates me to continue to move forward. Also, tell all your friends!

QGIS Blog: Reports from the winning grant proposals 2023
sur Planet OSGeo
With the QGIS Grant Programme 2023, we were able to support six proposals (four in the first round and two in the second round) that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the first four proposals:
1. QGIS Bug Tracker cleanup (#266) – Report
  We have identified and closed ~291 tickets, among them:
  - 162 bugreports and feature requests which were already fixed or implemented
  - 29 bugreports and feature requests which are invalid (data issues, wrong use of functionality, etc)
  - 57 duplicate bugreports and feature requests
  - 5 won’t fix bugreports
  - 5 bugreports were converted to feature requests
  - 33 tickets were closed (does not contain steps to reproduce, test data and no feedback was provided within several month)
  - Additionally we ensured that all tickets has correct tags assigned to to make them easier to find.
2. Porting to C++ and harmonization of Processing algorithms (#271) – Report
  The QGIS Porting to C++ and Harmonisation of Processing Algorithms grant is now complete.
  - Existing Processing algorithms Voronoi Polygons and Delaunay Triangulation have been ported to C++ and now use GEOS instead of the unmaintained Python module.
  - Two algorithms for generating XYZ tiles (directory and MBTiles variants) have been ported to C++ using a safer and cleaner multi-threading approach.
  - The Align Rasters tool, which was not exposed to Processing, has been removed and a new Processing algorithm with the same functionality has been added.
  - The existing Raster Calculator algorithm has been ported to C++. The algorithm now has two variants: a toolbox version that works the same way as before, and a modeler version that uses the same approach to input naming as the GDAL raster calculator.
3. Add vertical CRS handling to QGIS (#267) – Report
  - As of QGIS 3.34, QGIS can now create and handle vertical and compound CRSes.
  - In QGIS 3.34 coordinate transforms were reworked so that they function correctly with vertical transformation, if both the source and destination CRS have vertical components.
  - In QGIS 3.36 the coordinate reference selection widgets were updated to offer choices of 2d only, compound, or vertical only CRSes.
  - In version 3.38, we introduced a new setting for QGIS projects, for their vertical reference system. Users can control this through project properties, and it’s accessible via PyQGIS and via associated expression variables (eg @project_vertical_crs) for use in print layouts.
  - Similarly, in 3.38 we introduced the API support for map layers to have a vertical CRS. (This was not exposed to users in 3.38 though)
  - In QGIS 3.40 so far we have exposed the vertical CRS setting for vector layers to users (via the layer properties dialog), allowing users to specify the associated vertical CRS for these layers. The vertical CRS is respected in elevation profile plots, in Identify tool results, and in 3D Map views (assuming the 3D map is created with an associated vertical CRS).
  - There is an open pull-request for 3.40 to expose the vertical CRS for point cloud layers in a similar way, with the vertical CRS being respected in elevation profiles, identify tool results, and 3D map views
  - We have open pull requests for 3.40 to show layer vertical CRS information in the layer properties “information” pages, and add expression variables at the layer scope (eg @layer_vertical_crs).
4. Improve test result handling on QGIS CI (#268) – Report
  Any tests which fail a rendering comparison will write a descriptive comment to the PR. The comment details which render tests failed, where they are in the code, and includes some helpful pointers to downloading the full test report and the QGIS developer documentation. We also implemented lots of improvements in running the tests locally and how the render test reports are generated and presented to developers.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

Jackie Ng: Announcing: MapGuide Open Source 4.0 Beta 2
sur Planet OSGeo
This took way longer than expected, but the 2nd beta release of MapGuide Open Source is now available.
The main driver for this release is to update our various web tier components to their latest respective versions:
- PHP 8.1.29
- Apache [httpd] 2.4.62
- Apache Tomcat 9.0.89
In addition to that, the Beta 2 release includes the following changes:
- Installer
- Server Tier
- Web Tier
- InstantSetup
- Samples
So with this release out the door, what is next? Well unfortunately, there is still lots of work to do on the API binding and API documentation front, and so in the interests of not having you wait another year between releases, I am now adopting the policy of "however many beta/rc releases required" which implies more frequent beta/rc releases. As one of the major remaining items is completed and/or newer versions of any of our web tier components are available, that will be the trigger for a new beta/rc release.

I just emailed the Bear 100 race director, Cody Draper, and said that I'm injured and won't recover in time to start in 6 weeks. I'm also too injured to do Black Squirrel in 3 weeks and will be emailing Nick and Brad next.

What's the injury? When I came home from vacation and started to ramp up my running, my right Achilles tendon became sore and very inflamed. On July 17 I went out for a 30 mile run and had to bail at mile 20. I took some time off from trail running and have been chugging on an elliptical trainer at my gym. Yesterday I tried some running on the bike path behind my house and couldn't even go a mile without excruciating pain. I'm calling it, my season is over. The last time I had serious Achilles tendonitis like this was at the end of my ultimate frisbee career 20 years ago. It took 4 months before I could run without pain. I'm going to keep going to the gym, ice and rest, see some specialists, and get ready for 2025.

KAN T&IT Blog: Innovación y Colaboración en FOSS4G Europe 2024
sur Planet OSGeo

¿Te apasionan las tecnologías geoespaciales de código abierto? Si es así, FOSS4G Europe 2024 en Tartu, Estonia, fue el evento que no debiste perderte.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo el software de código abierto está revolucionando el mundo de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG)? FOSS4G Europe 2024 reunió a expertos y entusiastas de todo el mundo para explorar esta pregunta y mucho más.

Durante siete días, del 1 al 7 de julio, Tartu se convirtió en el epicentro de la innovación geoespacial. En esta ocasión, nuestro CEO, Ariel Anthieni y nuestro Sales Engineer, Adrián Yoris, tuvieron la oportunidad de participar de este evento.

La conferencia ofreció una serie de talleres interactivos, presentaciones de vanguardia y sesiones plenarias con ponentes de renombre. Uno de los momentos destacados fue la presentación sobre la implementación de SIG de código abierto en proyectos comunitarios, donde se discutió cómo estas herramientas están transformando la gestión de recursos naturales en regiones rurales.

Un ejemplo notable fue el estudio de caso de una comunidad en Estonia que utilizó software SIG de código abierto para mejorar la gestión de sus bosques, resultando en una optimización del 20% en la recolección de datos y una mejor conservación ambiental. Esta historia ejemplifica cómo la tecnología puede ser una fuerza para el bien común.

Además, Ariel fue invitado a participar en el panel “Changing the mindset of ‘Open Source is just for those who can’t afford to pay licenses’”, junto a otros expertos como Codrina Ilie de Terrasigna y Matthias Kuhn de OPENGIS.ch, para compartir su experiencia como CEO de Kan Territory & IT, y comentar sobre cómo las soluciones basadas en código abierto pueden transformar sectores públicos y privados, ofreciendo innovación personalizada e integración eficiente de tecnologías geoespaciales.

FOSS4G Europe 2024 no solo fue un evento educativo, sino también una celebración de la colaboración y la innovación en el ámbito de los SIG. Si te lo perdiste, no olvides seguir las actualizaciones y prepararte para la edición internacional que se realizará en Belém, Brasil. Comparte tus experiencias y pensamientos en los comentarios, y sigue explorando más sobre el fascinante mundo de las tecnologías geoespaciales de código abierto.

¡Nos vemos en Brasil en la FOSS4G Internacional!

Ian Turton's Blog: How to reproject features in QGIS
sur Planet OSGeo

I came across a brilliant thread on Mastodon by Sarah Dal discussing how she worked out what the most remote post box in the UK was. But there was one remark that bothered me, she said that to convert her lat, lon points to OSGB (EPSG:4326 to EPSG:27700 for the nerds) she had to go to the Ordnance Survey site to find some software to do this. Since she already had the points in QGIS this seemed like an unnecessary side quest to me. When I commented that she could have done this in QGIS she said that she always seemed to get it wrong.

I’m confused by this (and by the many other people who ask questions on gis.stackexchange.com about the same thing) so I’ve put together this video showing how I would do this. Basically, you right click on the layer you want to reproject and select export->Save features as and then just change the drop down box to the projection you need. QGIS will then save the features and add that layer to your project. You shouldn’t see any difference other than the colour of the points will change (as QGIS assigns a new random colour to the new layer).

And yes, I really should have split the Northern Irish post boxes out into a separate file and projected them to the Irish grid but this is just a demo.

GeoServer Team: Using Binary Comparison Operators in GeoServer Filters
sur Planet OSGeo
GeoSpatial Techno is a startup focused on geospatial information that is providing e-learning courses to enhance the knowledge of geospatial information users, students, and other startups. The main approach of this startup is providing quality, valid specialized training in the field of geospatial information.

Binary Comparison Operators in GeoServer Filters
In this session, we want to talk about the various types of filters, with a particular focus on “Binary comparison operators in GeoServer” comprehensively. If you want to access the complete tutorial, click on the link.

Introduction
Filtering allows the selection of features that satisfy a specific set of conditions. Filters can be used in several contexts in GeoServer:
- In WMS requests, select which features should be displayed on a map
- In WFS requests, specify the features to be returned
- In SLD documents, apply different symbolizations to features on a thematic map
Note. This video was recorded on GeoServer 2.22.4, which is not the most up-to-date version. Currently, versions 2.24.x and 2.25.x are supported. To ensure you have the latest release, please visit this link and avoid using older versions of GeoServer.
Supported filter languages
Data filtering in GeoServer follows the OGC Filter Encoding Specification, which provides a standard XML schema for encoding spatial, attribute, and temporal filters in GIS. This allows for customized queries to retrieve specific data from databases and web services while ensuring interoperability among GIS applications. GeoServer supports filters in both Filter Encoding Language and Common Query Language.
Filter Encoding Language
The Filter Encoding language, defined by OGC standards, utilizes an XML-based syntax to select specific features, similar to the “WHERE” clause in SQL. A filter consists of a condition formed by Predicate elements and Logical operators, employing comparison and spatial operators to evaluate relationships between feature properties. In this session, we will explore various types of binary comparison operators, while the next sessions will cover spatial operators.
Common Query Language
Common Query Language (CQL) is a Text-based language used in GeoServer for constructing filters and queries on geospatial data. It provides flexible and powerful options for filtering and retrieving specific subsets of data from GeoServer layers. In the upcoming sessions, we will dive into a detailed exploration of CQL/ECQL, covering its various operations and practical usage.
Comparison operators
These operators are part of Filter Encoding operators and are used in attribute-based queries to filter and retrieve specific features or data, based on their non-spatial attributes. The comparison operators include: binary comparison operators and value comparison operators.

The binary comparison operators are:
- PropertyIsEqualTo
- PropertyIsNotEqualTo
- PropertyIsLessThan
- PropertyIsLessThanOrEqualTo
- PropertyIsGreaterThan
- PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo
These operators contain two filter expressions to be compared. The first operand is often a <PropertyName>, but both operands may be any expression, function or literal value. Binary comparison operator elements may include an optional matchCase attribute, with the true or false value. The default value is true, but the comparisons do not check the case if the attribute has a false value.

Note. String comparison operators are case-sensitive.
PropertyIsEqualTo
PropertyIsNotEqualTo is a common type of filter used in GeoServer, which allows you to retrieve features from a data source based on the values of one or more properties. As an example of using this filter in WFS getFeature request:
- Navigate to the Demos page, then select Demo requests.
- From the Request section, select the WFS_getFeature1.0.xml request.
- The address will be filled in automatically, in the URL section.
Use the following block codes to replace line 26:
```
<PropertyIsEqualTo>
  <PropertyName>STATE_NAME</PropertyName>
  <Literal>Delaware</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>	
```
- Now, we will explain some elements:
  - The first fifteen lines include explanations in the form of comments.
  - Line 16 describes the XML version and the GetFeature operation of the WFS service being used.
  - Line 17 specifies the default output format for the WFS service as “gml2.” Additionally, GeoServer supports several other commonly used formats such as “gml3, shapefile, geojson, and csv.”
  - Lines 18 to 23 define the start of the XML request and declare the namespaces used in the request.
  - Line 24 specifies the type name of the feature to be queried. In this case, it requests features of the “topp:states”.
  - Lines 25 to 30 define the filter criteria for the query. On these lines, we use the PropertyIsEqualTo filter, to retrieve all features where the state name attribute is equal to Delaware.
- Press the Submit button to see the implemented changes.
- Note. For GeoServer 2.25.2 the Demo Request page has been improved to show response Headers, and provide the option to pretty print XML output.
PropertyIsNotEqualTo
PropertyIsNotEqualTo is another common type of filter used in GeoServer, which allows you to retrieve features from a data source based on properties that don’t match a specified value. As an example of using this filter in a WFS getFeature request, use the following block codes to replace lines 26 to 29:
```
<PropertyIsNotEqualTo matchCase="false">
  <PropertyName>STATE_NAME</PropertyName>
  <Literal>delAwarE</Literal>
</PropertyIsNotEqualTo>
```
Note. The matchCase attribute in WFS_getFeature 1.1 and 2.0 versions, can be set to “false” to specify a case-insensitive comparison.

Press the Submit button.

In this example, we used the <PropertyIsNotEqualTo> filter to retrieve all features where the STATE_NAME attribute, is not equal to Delaware.
PropertyIsLessThan
The PropertyIsLessThan filter is used to filter features, based on a comparison of a numeric property with a given value. It returns all features where the specified property is less than the specified value.

An example of using this filter in a WFS getFeature request is:
```
outputFormat="shape-zip"
<wfs:Query typeName="topp:states">
    <wfs:PropertyName>topp:STATE_NAME</wfs:PropertyName> 
    <wfs:PropertyName>topp:LAND_KM</wfs:PropertyName>
<ogc:Filter>
  <PropertyIsLessThan>
    <PropertyName>STATE_FIPS</PropertyName>
    <Literal>18</Literal>
  </PropertyIsLessThan>
</ogc:Filter>
```
Press the Submit button.

In this example, we used the <PropertyIsLessThan> filter to get all features in a shapefile format where the value of the STATE_FIPS attribute is less than 18. The query only retrieves the STATE_NAME and LAND_KM fields, instead of all the attributes.

In this session, we took a brief journey through the various types of filters, with a particular focus on “Binary comparison operators in GeoServer”. If you want to access the complete tutorial, simply click on the link.

Jorge Sanz: Elastic Volunteering Time Off
sur Planet OSGeo

My employer, Elastic, has a number of philanthropic initiatives but definitely the one I love the most is the Volunteering Time Off (VTO). We are given 40 hours per year from our working hours to contribute to projects and initiatives we care about. Employees have full freedom to choose what they want to do with that time and are encouraged to use it.

In my case, over this almost 5 years I have to admit I haven’t used all that time every year but I tried to get the most of it. During COVID I did some remote work for a local NGO that works for fair trade, giving them a webinar about Open Source among other things (see update from December 2019 and following months). I also spent a few days working on some admin tasks for the Open Source Geospatial Foundation and I’ve already written here about a couple sessions I did for Cibervoluntarios, training seniors and teens about safe browsing and email.

Last week I was showcased in the company blog, along with other colleagues, on different projects to contribute to. In my case, last year I joined the mapping efforts after the Morocco Earthquake and took a full day mapping roads and streets of a rural area, as part of the coordinated efforts from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team (reported on my October community update). I’m very happy to have this support from my employer to leave things aside when an emergency like this arises, granted there are no other urgent issues at work.

As a personal call to action, I’d love to get back to Cibervoluntarios activities. This year has been quite busy; let’s see after summer if there’s room for getting out and engaging with them.

I know I haven’t updated this site in a while, I’ll write one soon! ?

QGIS Blog: Introducing the new QGIS.org website
sur Planet OSGeo
We have a new website!

We recently launched our new website at QGIS.org. It is a ground-up overhaul and provides a fresh take on the first contact point for existing or potential users wishing to engage with the QGIS project and discover its value proposition.

A new strategy for QGIS.org websites

In this blog post, we would like to provide an overview of the goals that we had for building the new QGIS.org website and the bigger picture of how this website update fits into the broader strategy for our website plans for QGIS.

About two years ago, we started experimenting with building a new QGIS.org website based on Hugo. Hugo, as a technology choice, was less important than was our intent to develop a more modern site that addressed our strategic goals.

After some ‘in-house’ (i.e. volunteer-based) work to develop an initial version of the site, we received the go-ahead to use QGIS funds for this and put out a call in October 2023 for a company to support our work. This was ultimately won by Kontur.io, who, together with our volunteers, brought the work into high gear.
Initial analysis of the questions and actions to be quickly answered by qgis.org

Goal 1: Speak to a new audience

Our primary goal was to speak to a new audience. We are confident that QGIS can compete with all of the commercial vendors providing GIS software. We didn’t convey that well on our old website. We feel that QGIS was too apologetic in how it presented itself. We wanted a website which inspires confidence while addressing the needs of a corporate or organisational decision-maker who is looking at the QGIS project during their GIS software selection process.

The old website was very focused on the developer and contributor community. Obviously, those aspects are important since, without our fantastic community, the QGIS project would not exist. The messaging around open source is also important. Yet these ideas are secondary to the idea that QGIS is one of the best (if not the best) desktop GIS applications out there on the market – open-source or otherwise. We need to present it in this professional perspective.

So, the first goal was to change the messaging to focus on QGIS’s value proposition and take a very professional approach to presenting ourselves on the website.
User group and requirements analysis for the potential qgis.org visitors

Goal 2: Harmonisation

The second goal was to start the process of harmonising all of our website properties. QGIS.org, over the years, has built many different web properties. For example, there’s the plugins website, the feed, the changelog, the sustaining members website, the lessons website and the certification website, the new resources hub website, the API documentation, the user documentation, the user manual, the training manual, various other documentation efforts, and more. Some of those are combined in one application, There are also some less well-known resources, like our analytics.qgis.org and another one for plugin analytics. In short, we’ve a lot of resources!

With so many different web properties, they’ve devolved over time: each has its own look and feel, navigation approach and how you interact with it. Some of them were translated, and some of them were not. We want to harmonise all of these sites so that the user does not notice any change in user experience when they move from one QGIS-related site to another.

Goal 3: Harmonising deployment

In the underlying process of these changes, we’re also redeploying all of the websites on new servers, which are more up-to-date and use better security and maintenance practices. Plenty of work is happening in the background to ensure that all of the servers are in a better-maintained state, document how they’re maintained, and so on.

Goal 4: A hub and spokes

The objective of the new site design is to allow quick movement between the QGIS auxiliary sites. The QGIS.org site will form a hub that effortlessly takes visitors to whichever QGIS-related site they need to complete the task they are busy with. If you’re moving between these sites, the experience should be seamless. You should not really even be aware that you’re moving between different websites. Other than looking at the URL bar, the user presentation and experience should be harmonious between all of them.

One way we are planning to achieve this is to have a universal menu bar and footer. You will see that in the new website’s design, there is a menu bar across the top. This menu bar has two levels: the top menu and the second level, where the search bar is.
The universal menu bar
In this second row, auxiliary sites will have their own sub-menu whilst keeping the shared top-level menu. So if you, for example, are moving around in plugins and want to review the plugin list or submit a new plugin, all of that navigation will be on the second line where the search bar is currently. Regardless of which subdomain you are on, the top-level menu bar will be the same, allowing you to easily navigate back to the hub or to another subdomain.

The footer will be unified and shared between all sites, and the cascading style sheets and styling will be unified across all of the QGIS websites.

In the next phase, we will work to achieve this coherence across all the websites, though we still have a few more tweaks to make to the qgis.org site first.

Goal 5: DOTDOTW – do one thing, do one thing well

We plan to break some auxiliary websites apart into separate pieces. So, for example, the changelog management, certification management, sustaining members management, and lessons management are all in one Django app. We will split them into small single-purpose applications using some common UX metaphors so that each is a standalone application that makes it easy for a potential contributor to understand everything the application does. This will also simplify management as we can upgrade each auxiliary site on separate development cycles. We will also finally have semantic URLs, e.g. certification.qgis.org, to take you to the different areas of interest on the site.

The plugins.qgis.org is also going to be refactored so that it just has plugins and not the resource sharing we’ve added in the last few years. The resource sharing will go into its own subdomain. Similarly, the Planet website will get split into its own website (the planet is a blog aggregator or RSS aggregator) that will be in its own managed instance. Some other components (like the analytics) are difficult to split out like this because they’re linked to the same database. We will try to make sure that those are more discoverable and theme them as much as possible to match the rest of the website experience.

Goal 7: Encapsulation

Another goal we had for the QGIS.org makeover was to make the site performant and self-contained. By self-contained, we mean that it should not ‘call’ out to CDN, Google or other platforms for resources like fonts, CSS frameworks, javascript libraries, etc. There were two reasons for this:
1. These platforms often use such resources to track users as they move around the Internet, which we want to avoid as much as possible.
2. We want to wholly manage our site, be able to fix any issues independently and generally follow a path of self-determination.
Our approach also facilitated the creation of a very performant website, as you can see here. We will try to adhere to these principles for the auxiliary site updates we do in the future, too.
What about translations?
The question has come up: Why did we not want to translate the new QGIS.org when it was translated before?

Firstly, we should make it clear that we do not plan to remove translations from the user documentation, the user manual, and so on, where we think they have the most value.

For the main QGIS.org site, we question whether there is a high value in translating it. Here are some reasons why:

1. Lingua franca: If you are an IT manager in a non-English-speaking country and you want to evaluate some software, you’re going to run into a product page that presents itself in English – it is the norm for IT procurement to work in English for reviewing software products and so on.

2. Automation: Automated translations inside browsers are getting better and better. While these translations are still not completely adequate, we think they will be in one or two years’ time.

3. Translation integrity: Our pursuit of Goal 1 means that we would no longer find it acceptable to have partial website translations. We also need to ensure that the wording and phrasing are consistent with the English messaging. We also have concerns about the QA process regarding trust and review – we want to ensure that any translation truly reflects the meaning and intent of the original content and has not been adjusted during the translation process.

4. Cohesion: Our most important point is raised if we go back to this idea of cohesion between the different websites like QGIS.org, plugins.qgis.org and so on. As well as having the same styling, we also don’t want to switch between languages as you hop between the sites. We aim to present them all as one site. If we translate QGIS.org and then take you to our auxiliary sites, e.g., plugins.qgis.org, the feed, or certification pages, which are in English only, the experience is jarring.

So we must either translate everything into all of the same languages, or work in English. Translating everything is a mammoth task for the translators and for us to retrospectively add translation support to each platform. Thus, we prefer the approach of harmonising everything to one language and then focusing our translation efforts on three areas:
1. The application itself,
2. the user manual and
3. the training manuals.
We can leave the rest of the experience in English and instead focus on harmonising, for now, both in terms of look and feel and the technology used.

When we consider everything as one big website and what the bigger plan is, it is hopefully clearer why we didn’t think translating the landing page and QGIS.org was the best approach.
Further funded work
We hope to use more QGIS funding to support this work in the future. We’re also hoping to work again with Kontur to start moving all these auxiliary sites into their own projects, applying our style guidelines to each. Independently of that, Tim (volunteer), Lova (QGIS funded), and others are already getting started with this process.
Helping out
Do you have strong opinions about the website? Contact Tim on the PSC mailing list if you would like to get involved as a volunteer. We would love to hear from designers, word smiths, marketers, information architects, SEO specialists, web developers and those who think they can help us achieve our goals.
Conclusion
We hope our goals and process make sense for everybody and that we were able to lay out a clear, logical argument about why we don’t want to translate the new website quite yet. We want to focus on these overarching goals and then return to them later if they are still a priority for people. Everything we have built is Open Source and available at this repo, where you can also find an issue tracker to report issues and share ideas relating to the new website.

Thanks for reading. Go spatial without compromise

Cheers, Tim, Marco and Anita

SourcePole: Adding external WMS to the QGIS Cloud Web Map
sur Planet OSGeo

The use of WMS/WMTS layers in a QGIS Cloud map project can significantly degrade the performance of the map display. I have already discussed how to counter this problem in an earlier post. One of the solutions is to load external WMS as background layers. The problem with this approach, however, is that only one WMS background layer can be loaded at a time. If further WMS layers are to be loaded into the map at the same time, this approach cannot be used.

GeoServer Team: GeoServer 2024 Q3 Developer Update
sur Planet OSGeo
This is a follow up to 2024 roadmap post outlining development opportunities.

First of all thanks to developers and organisations that have responded with offers of in-kind contributions. This blog post is assessing current progress and outlines a way forward to complete the Java 17/Jakarta EE/Spring 6 upgrades.

This post highlights development activities that are available to be worked on today, along with interested developers and commercial support providers available to work on GeoServer roadmap items.
Spring Framework 6 Tasks
The key challenge we are building towards is a spring-framework 6 update, ideally by the end of 2024 when the version we use now reaches end-of-life.

The tasks below are steps towards this goal.
Wicket 9 upgrade
Interested Parties:
- Brad has been doing amazing work with the Wicket 9 upgrade and is in need of assistance.
- GeoCat has offered to do manual A/B testing when PR is ready for testing.
Activity:
- [GEOS-11275] Wicket 9 upgrade
- geoserver#7154
Spring Security 5.8 update
Spring Security 5.8 provides a safe stepping stone ahead of the complete spring-framework 6 upgrade and is an activity that can be worked on immediately.

Interested parties:
- Andreas Watermeyer (ITS Digital Solutions) offered to work on this activity in during the initial January call out, and has indicated they are now ready to start.
Activity:
- [GEOS-11271] Upgrade spring-security to 5.8
Spring Security Core implementation of OAuth2 / OIDC
The spring-security-oauth client has reached end-of-life and a GeoServer OAuth2 support must be rewritten or migrated as a result.

There are two paths to migrate to spring-security-core implementation:
- Option: Migrate the existing community module implementations to spring-security-core in place; with as little loss of functionality as possible. This has the advantage of using existing test coverage to maintain a consistent set of functionality during migration.
- Option: Setup a community module alongside the existing implementation with the goal of making a full supported etension. This approach has the advantages of allowing organisations the ability to do A/B testing as both the old and new implementation would be available alongside each other. This has the advantage of allowing stakeholders to only fund, implement, test functionality as required without disrupting existing use.
Security integrations often require infrastructure to develop and test against, which the core GeoServer team does not have access to for automated tests. We would like to see organisations review their security integration requirements and be on hand to support this development activity.

The initial priority will support for OAuth2 and Open ID Connect (OIDC), parties interested in maintaining support for Google, GeoNode, GitHub are welcome to participate.

Interested Parties:
- Andreas Watermeyer (ITS Digital Solutions) offered to work on this activity, or test as needed.
- GeoCat is interested in this work also, with the goal of bringing the OIDC plugin up to full extension status (if financing is available).
Activity: not started
- [GEOS-11272] spring-security-oauth replacement, with spring-security 5.8
ImageN / JAI Replacement
The image processing library used by GeoServer has been donated to the open source community under the name ImageN.

The immediate goal has been to add test cases to this codebase and make an ImageN 1.0 release. Andrea has come up with the amazing idea of integrating with JAI-Ext project immediately, to benefit from the improved operators, and jumpstart test coverage.

Interested Parties:
- Jody (GeoCat) is available to support this activity, or take lead if funding is available.
- Andrea (GeoSolutions) has had a deep dive into the implications for the JAI-EXT project outlining a roadmap for project integration
We would like to see organisations that depend on GeoServer for earth observation and imagery to step forward with funding for this activity.
2024 Financial support and sponsorship
Thus far 2024 has not had a strong enough sponsorship response to support the project goals above. As a point of comparison we established a budget of $15,000 with OSGeo last year to take on an low-level API change that affected several projects.

This year GeoServer sponsorship has raised between $1,000 and $2,000 which is not enough to plan with or coordinate in-kind contributions offered thus far.

Jody has worked with the OSGeo board to make adjustments to the sponsorship:
- Guidance has been provided for appropriate sponsorship levels for individual consultants, small organisation, companies and public institutions of different sizes.
- There are clear examples of how to sponsor and donate, along with the the perks and publicity associated with financial support
- GeoServer has a new sponsorship page on our website collecting this information
- GeoServer now lists sponsors logos on our home page, alongside core contributors.
We would like to thank everyone who has responded thus far:
- Sponsors: How 2 Map, illustreets
- Individual Donations: Peter Rushforth, Marco Lucarelli, Gabriel Roldan, Jody Garnett, Manuel Timita, Andrea Aime

From GIS to Remote Sensing: Remotior Sensus Update: Version 0.4
sur Planet OSGeo
I'm glad to announce the update of Remotior Sensus to version 0.4.This new version add several new features such as clustering, raster editing and raster zonal stats. Following the complete changelog:
- Added tool "Band clustering" for unsupervised K-means classification of bandset
- Added tool "Raster edit" for direct editing of pixel values based on vector
- Added tool "Raster zonal stats" for calculating statistics of a raster intersecting a vector.
- Improved the NoData handling for multiprocess calculation
- In "Band clip", "Band dilation", "Band erosion", "Band sieve", "Band neighbor", "Band resample" added the option multiple_resolution to keep original resolution of individual rasters, or use the resolution of the first raster for all the bands
- In "Cross classification" fixed area based accuracy and added kappa hat metric
- In "Band combination" added option no_raster_output to avoid the creation of output raster, producing only the table of combinations
- In "Band calc" replaced nanpercentile with optimized calculation function
- Improved extraction of ROIs in "Band classification"
- Minor bug fixing and removed Requests dependency

Darrell Fuhriman sent me these pics from the Salt Pub in Ilwaco, Washington.

“They decorated with old nautical charts, including a lamp shade and wallpaper on the stairs and entryway. “

The stairs reference a quote by author Isak Dinesen. “The cure for anything is salt water — sweat, tears, or the sea.”

Reinder took this pic in a neighbourhood orchard “. along the river Saône in Lyon, named after a local heroine Mere Guy”

“In the 2nd arrondissement, the orchard created at Place Général Delfosse was named in honor of Mere Guy. A pioneer of the Meres de Lyon, she opened her restaurant in 1759 on the banks of the Rhône at Mulatière. She serves fish provided by her husband, a traditional fisherman, including her signature dish: eel matelote.” (Apologies for my translation)

This is the first sequel to Mapping a small farm part 1. To summarise the first story, it walks through flight planning and practice, then data processing to get some first cut products, and a bit of mapping to show ideas about how accurate we think the product is. The products we’re interested in now… Read More »Mapping a small farm part 2: microhydrology
