should keep the site responsive for now:

I took a look, the site source is here:
https://github.com/style-hub/hub-server

The page is by Klas Karlsson and features only his own work, so
perfectly legitimate. Klas is probably the most prolific contributor the
style hub at
https://plugins.qgis.org/styles/?order_by=-upload_date&_gallery=true and
well respected (by me anyway, I am sure the rest of the QGIS community too).

We do have a plan to split the official QGIS resources plugin from the
aforementioned link into its own web site and will try to make it a
beautiful experience, taking hints from Klas' work where needed.

Thanks!

Tim

Hi all

So our fix proposal is here:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/issues/402

I don't think chasing IP addresses is a productive way to deal with it -
you end up playing whack-a-mole. I think our approach should cover most
cases. A really dedicated person could emulate the QGIS user agent but I
think that will be uncommon.

[QGIS-Developer] High load on plugins.qgis.org

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi all

We have been experiencing a very high load on the plugins server. Despite
moving to a more plugins server the problem is ongoing. We plan to add some
rules that require a captcha or similar if you want to download the zip
files for plugins from the web site (i.e. if the user agent is not QGIS
Desktop), which will hopefully reduce the load on the server somewhat. Lova
will keep you posted as we work on a fix, apologies for the inconvenience
in the meantime.

Regards

Tim

My concern here would be that we create a new problem: Having to moderate
the comments. Maybe we could use a simple like/dislike and/or predefined
lists of comments (e..g "Works great", "Doesnt work on Linux", "Doesnt work
on macOS" etc.).

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Maintainance of QGIS Plugin repository

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Admire

Thanks for this! We can certainly task Lova with helping to streamline the
process, implement better moderation tools etc. With regards to deleting
plugins, I think we should take the approach that we in general do not
physically delete things, rather we unpublish them with a flag that removes
them from the plugins.xml, search on the plugins page etc. I think it would
be prudent to maintain the chain of evidence in case we ever have a dispute
or complaint about a plugin.

Regards

Tim

Yes, I will give Selma all the support she needs :-). For those curious
about NixOS as a desktop / day to day productivity environment, yes you can
100% use it for this. And you don't need to be a guru to use it. Since
April 2022 there is a nice graphical installer (
https://www.phoronix.com/news/NixOS-22.05-Released) and they have probably
one of the largest repositories of packages of any Linux distribution
(around 80k packages), including QGIS and QGIS LTR which are always
current. There are many other popular GIS packages too (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/gis with an
active community that maintains them and more are elsewhere in the package
repo). For novice users, installing a package is no more difficult than the
equivalent in ubuntu:

apt-get install qgis

becomes

nix-env -i qgis

In fact it is easier since you don't need to set up QGIS 3rd party repo
first in NixOS.


A number of our (Kartoza) team who are not linux gurus use NixOS on their
desktops - if you ever watched a QGIS Open Day event, it was orchestrated
by Amy on her NixOS laptop :-P

Have fun!

Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS plugin depends on pypi package

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi (writing offlist here)

If you coordinate with me, it is also possible for me to manually add your
plugin to the repo to bypass the size limit. I prefer not to do these
manual things as general practice - I don't want to become responsible for
rolling out plugin authors updates.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-psc] Theoretical discussion: A QGIS paid plugin marketplace? (was: sponsored plugin)

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Nyall and other commenters on the thread

Personally I think it makes a lot of sense to allow payment for plugins via
the official QGIS plugin repo. A couple of (maybe contentious) ideas:

* can we put an Apple-like commission split so that QGIS.org takes 30% of
money coming from it? That will let us fund Lova into the long term and
other eventual team members to be paid to maintain the plugin
infrastructure. That will enable dudes like me who do backend work
maintaining the plugins services unpaid and unseen can fade into the sunset
and professional staff can take over the duty of keeping the plugins
platform going.
* Having a commission will also cover the cost of doing the accounting,
keeping track of who is owed what from their plugin sales, accounting for
everything, bank fees and what-not.
* We need to make it clear that QGIS does not offer any guarantees for
plugins sold (or downloaded for free for that matter) from the plugin repo
* It would be great to also invest into other long standing issues like
having plugin reviewers (or a clever AI scanner thingy) to make sure
plugins play nice on people's computers

Personally I would also like to have a 'hard opt in' for the plugin
installer shipped in QGIS. The first time you use it, you would need to
acknowledge that the plugins you get from the store may vary in quality and
their security from awesome to downright dangerous. If you do not agree
then the plugin manager link to the plugins repo essentially gets disabled
and you need to hand install plugins using the 'from a zip file' tab in the
plugin manager.

Probably more contentious would be asking those orgs fronting their
commercial services with a free plugin to give us (QGIS.org) a commission
too for the upstream services they sell, but I guess that would be a) hard
to enforce and b) bring out the complaints big time :-P

Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Unapproved Style in QGIS HUB

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Antonio

It's me! (and a few others) that review. My apologies, there is a long
standing issue that the notification of style updates go to spam and I
can't 'untrain' the rules (despite trying many times).

I think your proposal makes sense that authors can self approve after the
initial review. Lova could you help us to implement this workflow?

Regards

Tim

Thanks so much Nyall and all credit goes to Lova who is doing fantastic
work! What I suggest is that moving forward, Lova uses QEP's too propose
and discuss breaking / major workflow changes on the plugins site. In that
QEP he can address:

* what the change is (link back to ticket in QGIS-Django for example)
* what the impact will be
* proposed roll out time line
etc.

And we can discuss and agree these changes there before he goes ahead with
it. For smaller changes, I suggest he 'just get on with it' - his scrum
board is public and you are all welcome to help prioritise his work.

For the current issue under discussion (license requirements for plugins),
I have asked Lova to make a QEP and synthesize the discussion there, mainly
so he can have a practice run at going through the QEP process, although I
will add my 2c that I like Matthias' simple solution to the problem (adding
license as a line to the metadata.txt). If I understand you right Matthias,
our metadata would then look like this?:

-
[general]
name=QGIS Animation Workbench
description=A plugin to let you build animations in QGIS
about=QGIS Animation Bench exists because we wanted to use all the awesome
cartography features in QGIS and make cool, animated maps! QGIS already
includes the Temporal Manager which allows you to produce animations for
time-based data. But what if you want to make animations where you travel
around the map, zooming in and out, and perhaps making features on the map
wiggle and jiggle as the animation progresses? That is what the animation
workbench tries to solve...
version=1.1
qgisMinimumVersion=3.0
author=Tim Sutton
email=t...@kartoza.com
repository=https://github.com/timlinux/QGISAnimationPlugin
license=GPLv2
-

There is probably another thread to this discussion which is to understand
which license are accepted and which not, but that is a job for another QEP
I guess...!

Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS Full Stack Web Developer Report

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Dear Julien

Thank you so much for your engagement and suggestions. Fully agreed that
breaking changes should be well communicated first. So splitting the
discussion in two:


1) License requirements: for now I have chatted with Lova and we propose:

a) Change the logic such that a license is required for newly registered
plugins
b) When updates are made to existing plugins that do not include a license,
the uploader will be shown a warning indicating that in future the license
will  be mandatory

This is already implemented in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/pull/311
and I propose we deploy this today / ASAP to address the previously raised
issues.

2) Change management:

Yes I think we can introduce more rigour in the process.

* breaking changes: discuss with the community first, implement, deploy in
a known time window
* non-breaking changes: for simple bug fixes, just fix, test and deploy as
needed
* non-breaking changes: for features etc. these will be managed on the
project board here, anyone who wants to be engaged in the process can see
the planned upcomming work and interact with Lova via the ticket queue.
https://github.com/orgs/qgis/projects/6
* requests to improvements: please file tickets here
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/issues

Regarding a staging site, currently we do not run a staging environment,
developers have local test environments and I am on the fence as to whether
there is a lot of value in us maintaining a long running staging site.

Regards

Tim

[QGIS-Developer] Introducing the Kontur team

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Dear QGIS Developers and Interested Lookers On!


As you are hopefully aware, the PSC has allocated funds to help us get our
new website made, awesome and deployed.  We ran an open call[1]  for
interested parties to apply, which was published on the blog and on the
QGIS News Feed. During our PSC meeting on November 7, the PSC agreed to
appoint Kontur [2] to carry out this work.

They will no doubt be in communication with you all as they progress with
their work. I just wanted to extend the invitation to anyone who wants to
collaborate with the Kontur team, or even just follow along with the work
they are doing, to join the Matrix room which we have set up for this
purpose.

Best regards

Tim

[QGIS-Developer] Changelog descriptions for Scenes

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi all

Martin / Nyall - I noticed we don't have anything in the 3.34 changelog (
https://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/3.34) for the new 3D scenes,
adding Cesium / Google 3d tiles. I think most users won't even realise this
cool new functionality is there. Could you share some content for us to add
to the changelog (and for Selma to add to the user manual)?

Thanks!

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Fwd: Question about a plugin. POC attached.

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi

I havent looked at your code, but perhaps you could add to your original
message an explanation of why you don't just distribute it as a py /
uncompiled python source file?

Regards

Tim

Hi Jakob

These are the things I can edit in the admin panel. I suspect you want to
change the 'created by' field? Please indicate the osgeo id of the person
it should be changed to.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Models waiting review since March the 10th

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Nicolas

Thanks for your note (and also thanks to Ale who is the one who actually
reviewed your models. Normally I get an email whenever a resource is added
or changed but unfortunately GMail somehow decided these were spam and I
wasn't getting the notifications. Hopefully that should be resolved now. If
you have any further issues please feel free to email me directly. For
platform improvements, can I invite you to create tickets here:

[QGIS-Developer] Call for co-maintainers of the QGIS hub

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Dear QGIS enthusiasts

As some of you may be aware, we have been developing a space for users to
share their QML styles, processing models, 3D objects, etc.

You can find already a rich collection of great resources here:

https://plugins.qgis.org/ (open the 'Hub' menu up top).

It would be really great to have co-reviewers help me to deal with the new
submissions as they come in. If you are interested to help me, please let
me know and I will give you the access needed (I'll need your OSGEO id).

Thanks!

Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Revolt Chat Community Server

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Greetings Johannes and previous posters to this thread.

I think the discussion needs to be split in three parts:

1) The official discussion area for project discussions and decisions. In
my opinion, for better or worse, this is still the mailing lists until
something better has replaced them. For me I am happy to use discourse or
any other platform that is agreed by the PSC by direct decision or by
putting it to community vote.
2) Which chat / other platforms we allow. In my opinion we should be really
open and allow communities to gather on whichever platforms they want to,
be it FB, Telegram, Gitter, Revolt, Stack Exchange etc. We basically have
no control over this anyway and being open means also tolerating the fact
that people assemble and form subcommunities on platforms that we don't
necessarily prefer.
3) The status of 'official' chat platforms and their discoverability. For
these, we should grant 'official / endorsed' status, have them listed on
our web site, they should have clear contact points for moderators, be
allowed to use the world 'Official' in their name, be generally limited to
one per platform (e.g. the Official Facebook QGIS Group) and enforce things
like our code of conduct and diversity rules.

I think trying to police or control things beyond this is largely pointless
as we cannot as a project dictate how and where people choose to
collaborate.

Regards

Tim

Hi Benjamin

For the maintainership by multiple people, we should be able to do this by
setting multiple owners. Normally you should ask the outgoing maintainer to
do this in the plugin management areas. If they are not available, you can
always contact me - ideally from the address originally listed in the
contact details and I can manually add you. If you cant use the original
address contact AT datagrandest.fr then please provide some other way to
verify that you are a legitimate manager for the plugin.

 Hi dear devs,

 With feature freeze/bug fixes period almost finished, and before you
 get busy with pushing cool and nice features for the next 3.30 branch, I'd
 like to share with you a few cool features the documentation repo will also
 be really happy to get from your skills.

 *Code/Setup*

 1. Create a github action to automatically assign labels to issue
 reports generated from merged pull requests in code repo, to help us
 quickly triage. See #50562 
 and #7826 

 2. To the generated issue reports, we also have to assign the
 milestone, that is the next LTR we will document it in... An automatic
 assignment would also be great. See #7828
 

 3. If the move away from Transifex is not yet on the radar, a github
 action to regularly pull unfinished translation files would be welcome. See
 #7827 

 4. Help setup the release branches to allow automatic merge when tests
 pass. See #7837
 

 5. Fix text frame width in the pyQGIS API documentation. See #36
 

 *Writing*

 If you instead feel like writing , there are some outdated, confusing
 instructions in the docs for beginners in coding:

 1. how to configure python path
 
 from within QGIS or custom application: See #6179
  and attempts
 to fix it at #6306
 , #7139
  and #7140
 

 2. methods and tools to debug code/plugins: see #7836
 

 3. as usual, review of current pull requests
  is still welcome

 *Triage*

 If you don't feel like coding nor writing, you can just tell us whether
 you think that any of these reports is worth documenting and how we could
 address it: ToDocOrNotToDoc
 

 As you can see, the needs are diverse; it is about coding, setup,
 triaging and writing so you probably will find something for you (I hope)
 and do it faster than in my

Yes their help would be in the context of section #1 in your list. I do
know that Anita has been looking at how to use QGIS funds to get you more
support which hopefully provides some mechanism to address some of your
other items.

How about you come and join the PSC call tomorrow evening - we regularly
discuss how we can help you and the docs team, but it might be more useful
if you are actually in the conversation!

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Documentation repository looking for developers

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Harrisou!

Top posting here since I cannot address the items individually. We are in
the last stages of hiring a QGIS Jr Web Developer for one year under
funding from QGIS.org. I think quite a few of the things on your list below
are things we might be able to assign to the person we appoint. So I warmly
invite you to maybe do some collaboration with the person when they
'arrive' and we can assign them tasks that will help you.

One specific point on #3 below, Mathias Kuhn was working on some Transifex
cleverness at the Firence hackfest for the web site - maybe some of this
logic can also be ported to pull instead of push for the docs.
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/blob/master/.github/workflows/tx_push.yml


Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-community-team] Planning with github build actions? Should I stop the cronjob?

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Richard 


No please keep the cron going . I would like to run the two in parallel for a 
while to ensure everything works. At the moment we ran out of disk space on the 
new server so I would also like to mount some external storage.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Tests & Merge Request

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

I believe this is normal. If you want to run tests locally you should use
the docker toolchain like the GitHub action uses (or set up similar actions
in your fork). See:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/.github/workflows/run-tests.yml

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Slow downloads for LTR MSI

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi

IIRC, Richard's explanation as to why we turned off the CDN is that it was
trying to grab all the download archives each time it did a cache request
and it was blowing our server out of the water. So the plan is to split the
latest downloads and the archives to separate hosts / domains / sites such
that the CDN conly caches the latest builds

Regards

Tim

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Model for Temporal Measurement (vector) Datasets ?

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Richard

Thanks for clarifying your ideas. Could we not implement something similar
to how WMS-T works in that we have a PostgreSQL-T provider extension for
example that passes a time filter to the underlying data base request. In
another system we are build for a client we have some logic to fetch
min/max/mean/sum/etc from a time slice so we could have something similar
such that each point has only one value for the current time slice.

Not sure if I make myself clear or not...


Regards

Tim

Hi Richard

Don’t people normally use things like https://www.timescale.com/

For this? In any case some of our clients that are doing things like vehicle 
tracking are…

Hi All

I forgot to add: Please do not broadcast the changelog site before the
release. During the release preparation, Richard will publish it as static
content on qgis.org, at which point it can then be pushed out to social
media etc.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] New plugin in QGIS. It would be possible ?

[Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer]

Ola Leonardo

The problem with your email is that it does not pose a specific question so
it is difficult for anyone to know how to respond. Maybe it would be good
to join the QGIS Portuguese mailing list who I believe also welcomes
Brazilian Portuguese speakers and you can discuss what you are trying to do
there more easily.
