Hey all, I have extracted the code of the GIS prototype I have been working on in this reusable django-app: https://github.com/openwisp/django-loci - which is unreleased yet but you can play with it.
The rationale is very similar to the one I used in django-x509 <https://github.com/openwisp/django-x509>: extract features that may be helpful to other people and companies in order to bring more contributors in the community, even if they don't use or care about openwisp, they will care about maintaining and improving the module they use and this is already happening with django-x509, for example, a few weeks ago a bug in the new version of OpenSSL was discovered <https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/4710> thanks to a bug report in django-x509 <https://github.com/openwisp/django-x509/issues/14>. So far the results I have achieved with this strategy have been paying off so I just wanted to inform the readers of this list that I will keep working in this direction until we have all the base modules released and integrated in OpenWISP 2. The remaining modules that are on my roadmap are: - Freeradius web interface (we have a good base here https://github.com/openwisp/django-freeradius) - Monitoring & Alerting - Firmware upgrades Plus I would really like to improve the two experimental configuration backends for AirOS and Raspbian so that they can be used in production systems, that would be a GREAT accomplishment, but I won't be able to do it without contributions from the community because I'm already too busy with the previous points. I also welcome proposals for new modules and features like the ones Leonardo is working on (on the network topology side). This project really needs more stable contributors to fix bugs, improve documentation and merge the many small pull requests that we are getting daily, so if your company uses OpenWISP for its business and you are reading this, consider asking them if they let would you work some of your time on OpenWISP or if they can give a small financial contribution so that we can keep up the speed of improvement and development. Thanks to whoever read this communication and passed it along :-) Federico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenWISP" group.
