GeoServer Budget 2023

From OSGeo
Jump to navigation Jump to search

GeoServer had good success with GeoServer Budget 2022 with a combination of OSGeo budget allocation and incomming Sponsorship (GitHub, PayPal, Direct). As a result we accomplished one of our key objectives identified in the budget (Updating to Log4J2.)

We also encountered several security issues which were expensive in both time and money - resulting in a separate recommendation of an "OSGeo Security Initiative".

GeoServer 2023 Budget:

1. $1000 Available funds

  • $500 USD Sponsorship from FOSS4GNA event (thanks!)

org.opengis package refactor

Please see https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/142 for scope of work.

This is a disruptive change request from the Apache Foundation for the GeoTools ecosystem requiring participation from affected projects including GeoServer.

2023 OSGeo Budget Request

The GeoServer PSC requests a 2022 budget of $5500.

This is intended to cover:

  • $500: Operational budget to assist any team activities
  • $5000: Refactor org.opengis package use (cross project activity)

The steering committee is looking to raise funds against key technical challenges:

  • Security Issues: we wish to have budget on hand in event it is needed (starting from existing funds).

Code sprint:

  • If we have an opportunity to setup code sprint to coordinate org.opengis package refactor we will attend
