= Bolsena 2012 - draft agenda =


For the 5th time, the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Bolsena_Code_Sprint_2012 Bolsena OSGeo Hacking Event] is taking place. This page lists some ideas that can be discussed within the GeoNetwork faction.

Please add any idea you have here !

== Community ==

=== Committees ===

 * Review what's improved, for the Advisory Board and the Program Steering Committee, since last year
 * Many times, PSC members do not vote on proposals within the allotted time frame for that. How can we improve on that.

== GeoNetwork ==

 * On going projects ?
       
=== Discussion on architecture updates ===

== Security ==
 * Status on http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/proposals/ImprovedSecurityArchitecture
 * CAS support (Jesse & Francois)

== domain model ==

Considering GeoNetwork's functionality, you might expect there exist a class called Metadata, representing metadata. Sadly, this is not the case. The lack of a domain model makes doing changes to GeoNetwork very much more difficult and encourages source code pasta. Let's model our domain, and while at it, use [http://www.hibernate.org/ Hibernate] to have the domain classes hide the database.

== logging ==

There is no point in maintaining a home-made logging facility when there are de facto standard libraries for this. Let's replace GN logging with [http://www.slf4j.org/ slf4j], and back it by the venerable [http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/ log4j].

== i18n ==

We have localisation in a very large number of xml files, in the database, and in yet different locations for Javascript. It would be most welcome to have 1 single place for all translations. At the very least, is there anything against merging all the xml files into a single file per language?

== Webspecs testing ==

The last code spring I (Jesse) created a small suite of integration tests by taking the existing Geonetwork integration tests and combining them with some tests back ported form Geocat integration tests.  I also started a maven module that would run the tests when ran with the profile integration-tests.  Since then I have updated the tests and fixed bugs based on those tests.  I would like to commit this work and back-port more tests.

In addition I have started working on some javascript tests.  I would like to see them integrated into the build.

== Repository migration to !GitHub ==

Discussion about advantages/disadvantages of repository migration to !GitHub. Tools like [http://subgit.com/index.html/ SubGit]  seem can help for smooth migration, keeping in synch SVN-!GitHub repositories.
