GeoNode is a web platform for the development of interoperable spatial data infrastructure. The software is designed to be easily extended, customized and integrated into existing systems. The workshop aims to present the GeoNode project to those wishing to develop their own customizations or add new features. We will introduce concepts on how to create a development environment, how to generate their own projects and custom interfaces and methods of installation in production. We will also illustrate some advanced features such as the new authentication system, the management of data access rights, and of users.

In order to participate no previous knowledge of GeoServer and OGC services is required, but a basic knowledge of GIS concepts and basic data formats (shapefiles, geotiff) is recommended.

Participants should provide their own laptop with VirtualBox and Vagrant installed and configured.

This workshop would fit best in 8 hours but can be shrunk to fit 4 hours.
