QGIS 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!
