The GeoBlacklight Community held a community sprint in June 2023 and produced a new minor release of GeoBlacklight, new & improved documentation pages, and a platform upgrade of the GeoBlacklight website.
The latest sprint resulted in several new outcomes: a metadata field, multiple documentation pages, a release of the Sidecar Images plugin, and a dockerized container for GeoBlacklight.
The GeoBlacklight Community is excited to announce the release of our next major version: GeoBlacklight 4.0. This version features official support for OGM Aardvark, and we have enriched the documentation for GeoBlacklight and OpenGeoMetadata.
The GeoBlacklight Community collaborates on a 2-week sprint every Winter and Summer. Participation in the sprint is open to anyone and can include coding new features, fixing bugs, writing documentation, troubleshooting issues, and more.
The latest GeoBlacklight Community Sprint took place from February 14-25, 2022. Long time GeoBlacklight sprinters have noted that this was likely our most productive event and undoubtedly featured the most active participants. We had over a dozen participants representing Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins University, Princeton, Stanford, UMass Amherst, and the University of Minnesota / Big Ten Academic Alliance. Moreover, five contributors made their very first code commits to GeoBlacklight during this event.
