21/06/11Geomajas 1.9.0 in staging

Hello everyone.

Good news today as the release for the Geomajas backend 1.9.0 has been started. Before a release makes it to the shelves, a staging period is used. During this staging period user can test the new release in their application and leave their remarks on the mailing list. The PSC will than vote for the release to come through or be discarded.

The idea is that every Geomajas release should be tried and tested. If a release is not deemed stable enough, it will never see daylight. So join in and help us test it!

 

08/06/11EnviroAir 2.0 application

A new Geomajas web application has been added to the project gallery. Although the project is still work in progress, we believe it deserves a place in the list, as it demonstrates some nice features.

The project is done by WayCompany.com, and I'm also pleased to announce it's owner, Patrick Way, has become an active committer to the Geomajas project. So kudos to Patrick, and we wish him luck with this future endeavours.

So go over to the project gallery and have a look.

18/11/10Geomajas graduated OSGeo!

As of 10 minutes ago, Geomajas has been appointed a full OSGeo project, thereby completing the incubation process. There where no objections from the OSGeo board, so it actually went very smooth.

We would like to thank everyone that has helped in accomplishing this feat from the bottom of our hearts. This means in the first place to the entire Geomajas community, but also to OSGeo itself.

Special consideration here goes to Paul Spencer who acted as our mentor through the incubation process, and without whom this would not have been possible.

Thanks Paul!

28/10/10OSGeo motion for graduation: passed

Good news to all you Geomajas'ers out there.

For 2 weeks there was a motion on the OSGeo incubator mailing list regarding Geomajas graduation. As of this morning, Frank Warmerdam has declared the motion as "passed".

He will now recommend Geomajas graduation at the next OSGeo Board meeting. So within a few weeks Geomajas may become an OSGeo graduated project.

25/10/10Motion started for OSGeo graduation

It was only march of this year that Geomajas joined the OSGeo family as an incubating project. Now, 7 months later, our mentor, Paul Spencer, has formally motioned that Geomajas graduate and become a fully mature OSGeo project.

Although after the motion, there still needs to be a formal vote on the OSGeo board itself, the incubation board has been very supportive indeed with (up intil the time of writing) seven +1 votes.

All comments on the motion have been extremely possitive as well, with statements such as:
