I published my first article of 2024 🎉
It contains all my ideas for the informal session of the Django roadmap for 2024, proposed by the new DSF board member, Thibaud Colas @thibaudcolas 🚀
Thanks for the hint 🙏
@paulox @thibaudcolas I've got a project that uses docker, Django, postgres and to store geographic data. Wonder if it's worth stripping gown to a basic template 🤔
@paulox @thibaudcolas I could assist with simplifying docs as well if anybody has raised the parts that are complex.
@markwalker @thibaudcolas Are you referring to my proposal for a lightweight GeoDjango mode? In that case, you don't need a Docker template, but a change to the Django code so that it doesn't require the installation of GDAL.
@paulox @thibaudcolas I probably misunderstood, but I got the feeling an example project of how to run django with gdal might be useful after reading your post.

@paulox @markwalker @thibaudcolas Having struggled with getting GDAL and GEOS installed in the past, anything to make using GIS easier would be welcome!
@adamghill @markwalker @thibaudcolas thanks for confirming this idea. 😀

@markwalker @thibaudcolas I try to avoid adding OS specific instructions to install dependencies because everyone has different setup and I can't test them for everyone. Docker has the same problem from my point of view.
@markwalker @thibaudcolas the GeoDjango documentation need to be simplified a lot. The initial is very complex and the information flow can be improved. I started writing my "maps with Django" series to show a simpler web map demo 👇
