[Qgis-psc] QGIS Server and OGC certification

[Tim Sutton]

Dear Paul

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these updates. I think the
feeling from the PSC is that we would like to continue to maintain OGC
compliance, but I will let Marco fill in on that part. If you need any help
in maintaining the infrastructure for running the tests, please let me
know, I can ask Lova to jump in.

For my part, I attended the OGC hackfest here in Portugal a month or two
back and I was trying to run your test suite. I had a few issues with the
landing page end points. Ale suggested I should not try to run the tests
against the OpenGIS QGIS Server docker image, so next time I look at them,
I will try to follow your guide.

Regards

Tim
