Apr 27, 2020 geOcom 2020 canceled
PSC members regret to announce that they have decided to cancel the geOcom 2020 event, which was to be held in Perros-Guirec in June.

We postponed this decision as late as possible because we did not have, until last week, all the information allowing us to arbitrate in one way or another. It now appears obvious that even if we had maintained the event it is not certain that you could have joined us.

We have not retained the option of carrying out a geOcom by videoconference or webinar. On the other hand, we suggest to schedule an intermediate geOcom in autumn or winter 2020. Stay tuned !

Jul 13, 2015 geOrchestra 15.06
The geOrchestra team is pleased to announce the release of geOrchestra 15.06

This release brings several key enhancements:
- full support for the newer Debian 8 “Jessie”, which means a longer life span for your server.
- standard GeoServer artifacts can be used instead of the “geOrchestra flavoured GeoServer”. Not only will this bring new features more quickly in, but this will also make your administrator more relax when a vulnerability is discovered in GeoServer.
- integration tests are run everytime new code is contributed to geOrchestra, thanks to the free travis-ci service.
- lighter artifacts. We achieved a 20 to 50% reduction of size by excluding useless documentation, examples and tests from the WAR file. This saves bandwidth (and time !) for those of you who pull the artifacts from our hosted CI.
