Service Provider checklist

To recognizing experienced providers and core contributors consistently we have developed the following checklist.

Core contributors: take responsibility for the project, meeting all three core responsibilities:

  • core demonstrating an ongoing responsibility: security email list, releases, supported extension

  • committer active development: geoserver-devel, review of pull-requests, assigned jira tickets, development activities such bug-stomps and sprint participation

  • support sustained community support: geoserver-user, review of jira, gis.stackexchange.com, something!

Experienced providers: work on GeoServer when hired by customers but are not always active, demonstrating experience with a selection of the following checklist labels:

  • development feature development: examples GISP proposal, community module

  • coding work on java code, bug fix, signed code contribution agreement

  • documentation contributions to user guide or similar

  • translation helped out translation of application or user guide

  • outreach public presentations of geoserver at foss4g and regional events, public writing such as blog posts, podcast etc…

  • training link to your geoserver training page
