QGIS Developer Sprint in LyonQGIS Developer Sprint in Lyon   QGIS Server 3.0 is going to be better than ever! Last week I attended to the mini code-sprint organized by the french QGIS developers in Lyon.   The code sprint was focused on QGIS Server refactoring to reach the following goals:
  • increase maintainability through modularity and clean code responsibilities
  • increase performances
  • better multi-project handling and caching
  • scalability
  • multi threaded rendering
By working for different companies on such a big Open Source project like QGIS, coordination between developers is fundamentally achieved through those kind of events. We were a small group of engaged QGIS Server developers and I think that the alternance between brainstorming and coding has proven to be very productive: after two days we were able to set common milestones and commitments that will ensure a bright future to QGIS Server. A huge and warm thank to the french QGIS developers that organized this meeting!   Photo: courtesy of Règis Haubourg
