MapFish Bof at FOSS4G2010: summary

Rate this Message:
Hi,
The MapFish BoF took place yesterday at the FOSS4G conference, with about 11 participants from different organizations and with different backgrounds. All are sharing a great interest in MapFish and are interested in its future development. The goal of the BoF was to pursue the discussions already started on the list and on IRC. Just to settle the global context, Claude quickly recalled the MapFish history: - MapFish was initiated by Camptocamp to ease the development of complex Web2.0 type webmapping application - MapFish was made as a development framework to help the developer address the project requirements without starting from scratch each time. - A growing interest from users, integrators, organizations outside Camptocamp showed that MapFish meets some needs for implementing webmapping application - MapFish is now at a crossing point. It has been built iteratively from the needs and requirements of different projects. It is now time to decide for the future of MapFish community: what MapFish framework should offer?, what should not be in MapFish? Briefly said, it is time, based on the existing experiences, to set the future targets for MapFish and to choose the best ways to do it. - It is now time to organize the global community in a broader way, to organize the project governance. - Considering the wide range of interest and the need of such type of solution, it is also time to apply for OSGeo incubation. Then, a discussion took place about the PSC creation (Project Steering Committee): what would be the goal of the PSC?, the decision made by the PSC?, how many members?, and from which backgrounds?. 7 participants showed their interest to be part of the PSC and 2 persons not present at FOSS4G have already reported their interest. During the discussion, it turned out that the exact fixed number and the background was not the biggest issue at the moment (except that a huge number is probably not efficient). Meritocracy has to play a role in regard to PSC. Additionally,it would be good that a majority of PSC members are not also part of Camptocamp. The important issue was to settle, at the moment, the global MapFish project's governance in an open way. Instead of directly creating a formal fixed PSC, it was agreed to create a constituent assembly, formed by any person willing to put energy in the MapFish future. The goals of this assembly are: - Set the rule for the PSC and lead to the official PSC start - Organize the discussion about the MapFish future (general roadmap) Anyone interested to actively participate to this assembly is welcome to notify his interest on the dev mailing list. After presenting each others, telling a little about their backgrounds and explaining the reasons that make them have interest in MapFish, each participant presented their global expectations related to MapFish, which can be summarized with the following non-exhaustive statements: - MapFish needs to help the developer create webmapping application without reinventing the wheel. - MapFish is a development framework. - MapFish has to be a complete web mapping solution that can simplify the creation of web mapping infrastructure. - The architecture of MapFish has to be clearly stated (typically the position of GeoExt and MapFish client). - MapFish has to be a framework providing easy way to implement high level end user functionalities, both on client and server side. - The importance of usability, look&feel, "sexiness" of capabilities of MapFish framework were reported by several participants - MapFish should use other powerful OSGEO technologies, collaborate with the others projects and don't need to reinvent the wheel. - A simple deployment procedure has to proposed to start with MapFish. - The position of Studio and Print have to be clarified. - The following needs were identified: Oracle, security, concurrent editing support. - The license question has to be discussed (GPLV3 vs other). - Address the copyright issue (OSGEO?, contributor agreement,...) These are the topics that will addressed in defining MapFish future. Now, if you are interested in participating to the initial group (constituent assembly), please raise your hands until October 30 on the Mapfish dev list. People who attended the BoF: - Till Adams, Terrestris - Yves Moisan, Borealis - Jorge Gustavo Rocha, Portugal - James Clonninger, SynCadd - Julien Collaer, Sodiplan - Michael Smith, US Corps of Engineer - Julien-Samuel Lacroix, Mapgears - Eric Lemoine, Camptocamp - François Van der Biest, Camptocamp - Cédric Moullet, Camptocamp - Claude Philipona, Camptocamp _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@... http://www.mapfish.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev |

Dear MapFish community,
Claude Philipona wrote: > Hi, ... > Now, if you are interested in participating to the initial group > (constituent assembly), please raise your hands until October 30 on > the Mapfish dev list. Sydney 2009 and other FOSS conferences have shown that MapFish is attracting more interest each year. I read the notes from the BoF in Syndey [1] and I'm glad a constituent assembly is emerging and I would like to actively participate. I'm a WebGIS project manager at Camptocamp and have been leading MapFish projects since the beginning. In the middle of 2007 I took part in defining application use cases that should be easy to cover with the MapFish framework. Since then Camptocamp has done a lot of MapFish projects. As a project manager I was involved in keeping a good balance between specific developments and generic developments, so that both the customers project but also MapFish community would benefit from the work that was done. The success of MapFish shows that project after project we could extend the framework, taking into account the expectations of the customers for their applications but also the real needs of the development team to achieve these applications. In the last 2 years, I’ve lead small, middle and large projects and will continue to use MapFish as customers are expecting flexible and efficient webmapping applications. My past projects include probably the most frequented MapFish website “map.schweizmobil.ch” that runs on an AWS cluster. In late 2008, this project was a challenge and we had to search for solutions combining following criteria: a fast application, a sustainable load, an easy maintenance and of course to stay in the budget of a real project. This year I was also involved using MapFish with another OSGEO project: GeoNetwork. We used MapFish to query the catalogue, display the metadata results but also display on the map the WMS services referenced in the metadata. I'm also really interested in synergies that are set up around OSGEO projects. I haven't attended FOSS4G since 2006, but I've been representing MapFish in Switzerland and German conferences since 2007 (Intergeo open source park, FOSSGIS Conferences, Open Expo, GIS-SIT) where the community has been growing significantly. I'd like to keep the community informed of customer needs and about the issues my team faces to achieve customer requirements. I'd also like to work together with the developers to identify solutions so that, month after month, smoother projects can be achieved with the MapFish framework. This includes both updating the framework to make it easier for the developers to meet customer needs, but also communicating the possibilities of the framework so that a better knowledge of what can be achieved within a defined budget is spread. As MapFish is nearly a quite complete framework (see Claude's email about identified needs), working now on improving the framework to address customer requirements in a more efficient way is from my point of view one of the most challenging issue we have to address. This is important in regard of a sustainable development of all open source companies using the framework.
