QGIS hackfest 2014 (Essen) — day 2

03.10.2014 20:25 ·  Notes  ·  qgis, meetings

The second day of the QGIS hackfest is coming to an end.

The documentation team has continued to update the documentation and website, with over 30 commits today. The developers have not lagged behind — the number of commits is approaching 40. As always, Martin is a delight: thanks to his efforts, the rendering speed of a simple symbol renderer has increased significantly. Depending on the data, the speed increase ranges from 19 to 31%.

Also today we discussed:

• documentation
• certification process
• QGIS Server plugins support (see QEP #2)

Due to numerous requests from users, Tim has proposed changes to the QGIS release process (more details in QEP #3).
