Hi all: below is the application for PyWPS for inclusion into OSGeo Live. If it helps, the below can also be found at [1]. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. Thanks .Tom [1] https://github.com/geopython/pywps/wiki/OSGeoLiveApplication Please describe your application. What is its name? PyWPS What is the home page URL? http://pywps.org Which OSI approved Open Source Licence is used? GPL for PyWPS 3.x. Note that PyWPS 4 (in development) is a rewrite and will be available under MIT What does the application do and how does it add value to the GeoSpatial stack of software? PyWPS provides an OGC WPS server implementation written in Python. PyWPS allows for processes to be exposed, discovered and executed in support of geospatial workflows Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions of the standards? Client or server? You may wish to add comments about how standards are used. PyWPS implements OGC WPS 1.0.0 (2.0.0 in development) What language is it written in? Python Which version of the application should be included in the next OSGeo-Live release? 3.2.5 Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. If a new user finds a bug in one application, it will tarnish the reputation of all other OSGeo-Live applications as well. (We pay most attention to the following answers): If risk adverse organisations have deployed your application into production, it would imply that these organisations have verified the stability of your software. Has the application been rolled out to production into risk (ideally risk adverse) organisations? Please mention some of these organisations? The Meteorological Service of Canada, the WMO WOUDC project, Department of Earth Observation at the Friedrich-Schiller University Jena (Germany), International Union of Soil Sciences, NASA (JPL), UNEP/GRID, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) Open HUB provides metrics to help assess the health of a project. Eg: http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/metrics.html Could you please ensure that your project is registered with Open HUB, and Open HUB has been updated to reference the correct code repository(s) for your project. What is the Open HUB URL for your project? https://www.openhub.net/p/PyWPS What is the size of the user community? You can often answer this by mentioning downloads, or describing a healthy, busy email list? In 2016 the PyWPS mailing list received 250 messages, averaging almost 2 messages per day. So far, 17 different individuals have subscribed the contribution agreement. The pywps-3 repository has been forked 43 times and the pywps-4 repository has 17 forks. What is the size of your developer community (5-6 core developers) Do you have a bug free, stable release? yes Please discuss the level of testing that your project has gone through. PyWPS has regression testing. Bugs/issues are managed via GitHub and triaged accordingly How long has the project has had mature code. Started in 2006, PyWPS has had stable releases since 2008 with PyWPS 3.0.0 OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather than libraries. Does the application have a user interface (possibly a command line interface) that a user can interact with? (We do make an exception for Incubated OSGeo Libraries, and will include Project Overviews for these libraries, even if they don't have a user interface.). PyWPS is configurable via the command line and configuration files. PyWPS does not have a graphical user interface We give preference to OSGeo Incubated Projects, or Projects which are presented at FOSS4G conferences. If your project is involved in OSGeo Incubation, or has been selected to be presented at FOSS4G, then please mention it. PyWPS is currently working through the OSGeo incubation process With around 50 applications installed on OSGeo-Live, us core packagers do not have the time to liaise with every single project email list for each OSGeo-Live release. So we require a volunteer (or two) to take responsibility for liaising between OSGeo-Live and the project's communities. This volunteer will be responsible for ensuring the install scripts and English documentation are updated by someone for each OSGeo-Live release. Also test that the installed application and Quickstart documentation works as expected on release candidate releases of OSGeo-Live. Who will act as the project's liaison person. Tom Kralidis OSGeo-Live is Ubuntu Linux based. Our installation preference is: Install from UbuntuGIS or DebianGIS Install .deb files from a PPA or Write a custom install script. Can you please discuss how your application will be installed. via UbuntuGIS and install script with configuration OSGeo-Live is memory and disk constrained. Can the application run in 512 Meg of RAM? Yes How much disk space will be required to install the application and a suitable example application? ~ 250KB We aim to reduce disk space by having all applications make use of a common dataset. We encourage applications to make use of the example datasets already installed: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Example_Datasets If another dataset would be more appropriate, please discuss here. Is it appropriate, to remove existing demo datasets which may already be included in the standard release. Each OSGeo-Live application requires a Project Overview available under a CC By and a Quickstart available under a CC By-SA license. (You may release under a second license as well). Will you produce this? Yes In past releases, we have included Windows and Mac installers for some applications. It is likely we won't have space for these in future releases. However, if there is room, would you be wishing to include Windows and/or Mac installers? Yes, this is feasible given the very nature of Python _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list Live-demo@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc -- Brian M Hamlin OSGeo California Chapter blog.light42.com
