Crowdfunding Initiative: QGIS-GeoServer Styling Interoperability

Dear Reader, as we promised a few months ago we are proposing in this post a comprehensive approach that will allow to reach full interoperability between QGIS and GeoServer when it comes to styling data in QGIS itself and then export to GeoServer. As we described in this post we have invested some of our own time in order to get a better understanding of the QGIS platform (and of our speed of execution while working on it) as well as to estimate the total effort in reaching full interoperability as mentioned above. Such work is already part of both...

Developer’s Corner: OAuth2 for GeoServer

It allows GeoServer to support multiple OAuth2 Providers at the same time hence it allows the users to choose the preferred login method with just one simple click. Currently we have developed support for both Google and GitHub credentials but more could be added, like Facebook, as...
