Dear all, I've been following discussions in the list for a while now, and I would like to introduce myself, my company and our projects, but first let me congratulate with you all for the valuable piece of software that GeoServer is!
My name is Ugo Paternostro, and I'm co-founder and co-owner of phoops s.r.l., an Italy based small business whose customers mainly are public. BTW, this made me meet some of you in person (Simone, do you remember Tolomeo classes in Prato?). We deal often with open source software, and in the last months we acquired a contract from one of our public customer to develop OpenLS services in GeoServer. One of the contract constraints is that the develop have not to be a GeoServer fork, but has to integrate with the community work. So, this is what led we here. I would like to summarize what we did so far: 1. we forked geoserver repo in GitHub (guess it? It's phoops/geoserver); 2. we created a branch on our repo for our developing, named 12I_CPO_TP from the internal project code; 3. we started the creation of a framework for the OpenLS services that, at the moment, includes the ols, ols_web and ols-RFC59 projects, all under the community module. Please note that the project is in a very embryonic state, so don't expect too much at the moment. We would be glad to discuss with you all design aspects of our project and, of course, to gather any hints you would like to share with us. You will for sure hear from us in the next weeks, in the meanwhile I have just a couple of questions for you: are we doing it right? ;) Should we apply for some sort of agreement with OpenPlans?
