I appreciate the details (and am very much a fan of GeoStyler and SHOGun), you can see some more discussion in the meeting notes.
I am +1 based on the community module (would loved to see if it is active), docker participation, and community outreach activities. In general I look towards a contribution to GeoServer sustainability, but really would like to see experienced providers be comfortable PRs and our proposal process (so they can demonstrate the capacity to do new development work on behalf of their customers.) I understand that our current breakdown of service providers is not as clear as it could be. -- Jody Garnett On Mon, 1 Feb 2021 at 04:41, Marc Jansen <jan...@terrestris.de> wrote: > Hi list, > > we from terrestris would love to be listed in the "Experienced Providers" > section on the "GeoServer Commercial Support" page, right now we are listed > under "Additional Services" (http://geoserver.org/support/). > > We think we qualify as being a provider that meets the requirements as > they are currently listed: "The commercial providers in this category have > not done major contributions directly to the GeoServer project, but they > are trusted as reliable organizations with experience around GeoServer. > They are more recommended for those looking for local support, and can grow > to become core contributors."
