<p>Hi all</p>
<p>I'm Gavin Fleming from Kartoza. I'm a long-time Geonode user but
am joining this list as I'm going to be managing a component of
the World Bank project that Kartoza has been working on for a
while now under the direction of Tim Sutton. The goal is to build
up the QGIS Server backend and QGIS Documentation to the point
that they are rock solid, scalable and well integrated.</p>
<p>From now for six months our brief includes the following:</p>
<p>- Geonode architecture development to improve QGIS and GeoSAFE
integration</p>
<p>- improved metadata management within and between QGIS and
Geonode</p>
<p>- improved data upload and retrieval capability in Geonode to
support import to and export from QGIS<br>
</p>
<p> - developing common style, layer, map and project idioms between
Geonode and QGIS to enable simple sharing and management of these
elements <br>
</p>
- extending and strengthening the Geonode/ QGIS/ GeoSAFE devops
ecosystem for simple, robust, scalable deployment. <br>
<br>
If you'd like more details or to start a discussion around any one
of these please do so in separate threads. <br>
<br>
We will also keep the community in the loop as we progress and will
contribute to Geonode GitHub Issues and GNIPs where appropriate. <br>
<br>
regards<br>
<br>
Gavin
