Jody Garnett here reporting back from the foss4g workshop where we had a number of exciting updates:
1. GeoServer 2.22-M0 <https://geoserver.org/release/2.22-M0/> Release was made for workshop participants, see announcement <https://geoserver.org/announcements/2022/08/22/geoserver-2-22-M0-milestone-released.html> for new features 2. Brand-new "welcome page <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/webadmin/welcome.html#welcome>" functionality for everyone to enjoy 3. There is now a "ne" workspace included in geoserver with a world wide geopackage dataset (and some simple styling that I converted from YSLD to SLD) 4. There are lots of new tutorials in the getting started <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/index.html#getting-started> section of the user manual including "publishing a geopackage <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/geopkg-quickstart/index.html>", "publishing an image <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/image-quickstart/index.html>", "publishing a layer group <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/group-quickstart/index.html>" and "publishing a style <https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/style-quickstart/index.html> " 5. Here are slides from the workshop <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fbPLN-1Cs95WK-IxDG1PxCEKyHwFbNBGNkkomxmLr0Y/edit?usp=sharing> - thanks to everyone who attended IMPORTANT: Please try out the 2.22-M0 and provide feedback - doing so is a key part of the *open source social contract* which is used to justify release-early-release-often from an project management / risk management perspective. Trying out geoserver with a large number of datasets is very important for the sustainability of our open source project (where trust is built by testing with different datasets rather than only testing in different environments). Suggestions for feedback: - Reply to these messages with your feedback, even just to say you downloaded it, or tried out the docker image. - The new dataset from natural earth, do you like it? What about the style used - do you have any suggestions? - The new welcome page? Try out making web services for your workspace, layer group or layer? What does it look like in your desktop GIS? - The welcome page title and headings, try adding translations for your workspace and see how that looks when you change languages - The new tutorials? Do the instructions work for you? Did you spot a typo? Let me know ... We make a point of thanking those who test in the final release announcement. -- Jody Garnett
