DESCRIPTION:The German GeoNode User Group is an inclusive community that we
 lcomes participants from over ten research institutions and multiple compa
 nies\, all united by a shared interest in GeoNode\, a web-based platform f
 or developing geospatial information systems. Our group operates on a flex
 ible basis\, allowing members to contribute to discussions and projects in
  accordance with their current work capacities and level of involvement wi
 th GeoNode [1].\n\nWe maintain regular communication through our GitHub re
 pository\, which serves as the central hub for collaboration\, code sharin
 g\, and project coordination. This is complemented by a dedicated Slack ch
 annel that facilitates direct and efficient interactions among members. Ou
 r meetings\, held four times a year with at least one in-person gathering 
 during the German FOSSGIS conference\, provide opportunities to discuss in
 dividual challenges\, share updates from the GeoNode upstream community\, 
 and exchange news about our respective GeoNode instances.\n\nA significant
  challenge we've addressed is the exchange of GeoNode features that haven'
 t been integrated into the upstream project and sharing them among our ind
 ividual forks. This led to the development of the geonode-blueprint-docker
  [2]\, an opinionated setup designed to simplify GeoNode installations and
  configurations\, making it more accessible for our diverse community [3].
 \n\nOur collaborative efforts have resulted in several notable projects:\n
 - Thünen Atlas: An interactive platform providing maps and data on topics
  such as land use\, forestry\, and marine ecosystems [4]\n- Data Package C
 ontrib Module: A GeoNode importer handler designed to upload non-spatial d
 ata as data packages\, enhancing the platform's versatility [5]\n- GeoNode
 -K8s: A Kubernetes Helm chart facilitating the deployment of GeoNode in cl
 oud-native environments\, promoting scalability and ease of management. [6
 ]\n\nOur GitHub repository serves also as a hub for these open-source GeoN
 ode extensions and ecosystem tools\, such as geonodectl\, a command-line i
 nterface tool for interacting with GeoNode's REST API v2.\n\nBeyond our in
 ternal projects\, we actively engage with the upstream GeoNode community b
 y providing feedback on feature development and contributing both bug repo
 rts and new features to the core GeoNode platform. Notably\, one of our me
 mbers serves on the GeoNode Project Steering Committee\, further strengthe
 ning our connection with the broader GeoNode community.\n\nThrough this pr
 esentation\, we aim to showcase our community's achievements and extend an
  invitation to new members to join our collaborative efforts. By sharing o
 ur experiences\, we hope to inspire others to participate in and benefit f
 rom our collective endeavors.\n\n[1] https://geonode.org - GeoNode Officia
