What we did

On April, 10th and 11th, again 10 Developers met in Bonn to take further steps to the next release of Mapbender 3.0 which is planned for this summer.

  • public user and default application

To allow open applications where an explicit login only annoys users we introduced the concept of a public user, which can be defined in mapbender.conf. Additionally a default application is definable, which will be loaded for every public user as a default.

  • login and Portalseite are now applications

The former static pages for login and portal are now applications, which allows greater flexibility and a more consistant approach.

  • integration of jQuery UI.Layout

With jQuery UI.Layout the creation of different and flexible layouts for mapbender is now even more easy and comfortable.

  • Google Summer of Code

Again this year mapbender takes part in Google Summer of Code to allow students to participate in an open source project. We discussed the priorities and ranking of the projects and hope to get some slots, as we have really interesting stuff (REST API, new adminstration interface).

  • FOSS4G contribution

Mapbender Community will take part at the upcoming FOSS4G, 3 submissions are planned.

  • minimalistic Mapbender

A new "Mapbender core" was created, consisting only of essential stuff like login, create user and basic application templates. Based on this core the upcoming Mapbender 3 will be build, allowing only tested and done modules to be integrated. miscellaneous

As usual a lot of details were also done regarding security, code quality, bugfixing. At the moment Mapbender 2.6.1 is being tested and expected to be released real soon now.

A new glossary has been started, to avoid ambiguities and misunderstanding espacially for newcomers.

Again we had a great time, see you at the next Mapbender Dev Sprint in May.
