<p>Hi Cameron,</p>
<p>thank you very much for your reply. We are happy to hear that you
see GeoStyler as a suitable project.</p>
<p>Generally, we think including GeoStyler in OSGeoLive would be
great. However, we first have to think about how we could include
it, so that it actually makes sense (since GeoStyler is a
collection of libraries in the first place).</p>
<p>We will discuss this with the community, to come up with a proper
solution.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards</p>
<p>Jan<br>
</p>

<p>Hi Jan,</p>
<p>Sorry for the delayed response. I'm hoping one of the more
active members of the incubation committee would speak up.</p>
<p>Assuming GeoStyler fits Jody's checklist (which it looks like
it does), I'm strongly in favour of including GeoStyler as an
OSGeo community project.<br>
</p>
<p>From what I can see, GeoStyler addresses a pain point that many
of us in the OSGeo community have faced at some point, and I'd
love to see it promoted and grow. In particular, I'd love to see
GeoStyler included in OSGeoLive, <a

moz-do-not-send="true">http://live.osgeo.org</a></p>
<p>The application process here:<a

Would you be interested in joining OSGeoLive? (Note the ongoing
commitment required in questions).<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

Incubation Committee, <br>
<br>
we would like to introduce our Open Source project "GeoStyler".
<br>
<br>
GeoStyler is an Open Source JavaScript library that enables
users to style maps with the help of a Graphical User Interface.
<br>
The goal of GeoStyler is a universally applicable GUI that works
with any given style format; may it be SLD, QML, OpenLayers,
etc. <br>
<br>
In order to achieve that goal, we follow a plugin-approach where
so called "style-parsers" can be plugged into the UI. These
style parsers work as a conversion tool to bidirectionally
convert between any external style and our internal style
format. <br>
As a positive side effect, we are able to convert from one
external format to another one (e.g. from QML to SLD, etc.). <br>
<br>
The GUI library is written in react but also provides browser
builds to enable its usage outside of any react application. <br>
<br>
With thanks to currently 16 different contributors, we
successfully maintain 15 repositories in our GitHub
organisation, including the UI library and documentation,
different style-parsers, data-parsers, type definitions, a demo
application and a tutorial. The majority of these was also
already published on NPM. On the OSGeo Bolsena Code Sprint 2019,
a GeoServer Community Extension was written that integrates
GeoStyler and allows the creation of styles within GeoServer by
using our GUI. <br>
<br>

The licenses are BSD-2-Clause and we are very happy and eager to
extend the list of contributors. Our first goal would be to be
listed on the OSGeo webpage and in the long run to release
GeoStyler as an OSGeo Community Project. <br>
<br>
In the future, we would like to provide additional style-parsers
(e.g. for mapserver) and extend the UI library with additional
components to further simplify styling maps. <br>
<br>
<br>
We are happy to receive your support, if there are any
questions, we are happy to help! <br>
<br>
Kind regards <br>
<br>
Jan Suleiman <br>
