Print Composer for MapStore and GeoNode, built on the GeoServer stack: the crowdfunding campaign is open

Dear Reader, Printing in MapStore and GeoNode still relies on an ageing integration with MapFish Print 2, built around a single map. Dashboards, GeoStories and multi-page documents cannot be printed properly. This year we built a working prototype of a new Print Composer: design the page, preview it live, print it. Maps, dashboards, GeoStories and atlases with one page per feature, rendered by a new open-source print engine built on GeoTools. You can see it in action in the 5-minute demo. Atlas mode: one layout, one page per feature. Watch the full demo on YouTube. Now we want to bring...

GEOINT 2026 Symposium: Delivering Real Impact With Open Source Geo

Dear Reader, A key theme of the keynote speech by Major General Paul Lynch of NATO was interoperability - getting systems and data to work together across teams in disparate environments.  This is only compounded by the availability of massive data and AI-generated derivatives.  Furthermore, SOCOM and others have expressed the need to break free from vendor-locked software stacks. During the Lightning Talk Session in the Innovation Corner, I had the privilege of presenting on how open-source geospatial technologies such as GeoServer, GeoNode, and MapStore address the need for system modernization and interoperability expressed at both GEOINT and SOFIC. "Delivering...
