GeoServer is a web service for publishing your geospatial data using industry standards for vector, raster and mapping, as well as to process data, either in batch or on the fly.
GeoServer powers a number of open source projects like GeoNode and geOrchestra and it is widely used throughout the world by organizations to manage, disseminate and analyze data at scale.

This presentation provides an update on our community as well as reviews of the new and noteworthy features for the latest releases. In particular, we will showcase all the new features landed in the 2.26 and 2.27 series.

Attend this talk for a cheerful update on what is happening with this popular OSGeo project, whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply curious what GeoServer can do for you.

GeoNetwork is the most successful catalog application in Europe, used by more national governments than any other solution. With such a cornerstone technology it is important to ensure it remains sustainable, secure, and available.

GeoNetwork 5 is a bold reimagining of the project, providing a "store" of components that can be configured for use. This approach takes advantage of the Spring Boot "App" architecture for a fresh start targeting the Java 21 environment. There is also a new user interface approach to share, making use of TypeScript Angular components.

Together these choices open up some exciting opportunities, allowing creativity in catalog design and presentation, and scaling services independently. This flexibility is also important strategically allowing GeoNetwork 5 to migrate modules one at a time, while delegating to GeoNetwork 4 implementation during development. We can also look at new developments taking place within this architecture, with progress on OGCAPI-Records, and DCAT2.

This work is ongoing and we will look at how the project is supported by organizations around the world, and opportunities to look forward to as the project progresses.

This presentation provides an in-depth status update on GeoServer 3, the ambitious overhaul of the widely used open-source server for spatial data and web services. Announced as part of a community-driven crowdfunding effort, GeoServer 3 seeks to modernize the platform’s foundation to ensure it meets the growing demands of the geospatial community.

We’ll first analyze the GeoServer 2.x status quo, and the effect of cascading changes that a “simple” Spring upgrade caused, turning the activity into a cross project overhaul, and how the large effort required got socialized and eventually brought to implementation via in-kind volunteering and a crowdfunding campaign driven by Camp2Camp, GeoCat and GeoSolutions.

We will explore the planned milestones in the transition to GeoServer 3. These include critical refactorings, such as replacing aging libraries, adopting modern Java frameworks, and integrating support for the latest versions of GeoTools and GeoWebCache. Key technical advancements include the evolution and integration of ImageN for improved raster data processing, the migration from Wicket 7 to Wicket 10 for a modernized and more secure web user interface, and the adoption of Jakarta EE and Spring 6 to support enhanced security, scalability, and long-term compatibility with modern Java ecosystems.

Join us to investigate progress, reflect on the lessons learned, and get inspired by what’s possible with GeoServer 3—a project that continues to empower geospatial professionals and organizations worldwide.

The GeoNetwork-opensource project is a catalog application facilitating the discovery of resources within any local, regional, national or global "Spatial Data Infrastructure" (SDI). GeoNetwork is an established technology - recognized as an OSGeo Project and a member of the foss4g community for over a decade.
The GeoNetwork team would love to share what we have been up to in 2022!
The GeoNetwork team is excited to talk about the different projects that have contributed with the new features added to the software during the last twelve months. Our rich ecosystem of schema plugins continues to improve; with national teams pouring fixes, improvements and new features into the core application.
We will also talk a bit about the health and happiness of the GeoNetwork opensource team. Progress of our main branches (3.12.x and 4.0.x), and release schedule.

Wow it has been a busy time for security vulnerabilities. FOSS4G software is getting caught up in the general push to regulate IT and impose “security” on the technology that powers society.

This talk explores the tensions, expectations, terrors and triumphs on this hot button topic. We will look at a sensible response to Europe's Cyber Resilience Act and how GeoSever and GeoNetwork policies have been updated to address these concerns for developers, participating organizations and members of the public.

This talk unpacks what this can look like for foss4g projects using real world examples.

• Built around the experience of the GeoServer project, and the resulting security policy and practices that can serve as a template for our foss4g community.
• Public institutions can attend this talk to learn how their security policies interact with and affect foss4g technologies.
• Vendors and service providers can learn how open source supply chains affect their products.
• FOSS4G projects can attend to learn how to approach security reports with compassion, and a bit of boundary setting, to take care of your codebase and community.

Security is difficult with consequences being felt at all levels. Help meet this challenge by supporting yourself and each other.
