FOSS4G North America Conference 2013 Preliminary Program

State of GeoServer
Justin Deoliveira, OpenGeo
GeoServer continues to grow with an active community and expanding user base. This
presentation takes the pulse of the project with a status report of how GeoServer is doing and
what to expect in the coming future.
The presentation will start with a “year in review” overviewing some of the new and noteworthy of
the past year. This past year saw the coming of GeoServer 2.2, a major milestone for the project
that brought some exciting new features along with it. Time and Elevation support, WFS 2.0,
Rendering Transformations, a Security/Authentication overhaul, and Virtual Service settings,
styles, and layer groups are just a few of the highlights of 2.2. Attend this presentation to get the
entire report of what happened this past year.
The GeoServer developer community continues to remain active with a number of exciting
features in the pipeline. The remainder of the presentation will focus on the future with a report of
the new developments currently being worked on and what new features and improvements
users can expect in 2013.
Whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply someone who wants to know what
GeoServer is and what it can do for you, this talk is for you.
