Open batpad opened 3 months ago
Since the upstream is owned by the stac-utils
organization, we can bring the question of maintainers and upkeep in the STAC community meetings, the owners or at least admins who could pass responsibility are in those meetings.
More details on the Plugin distribution ownership https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_stac/#plugin-details
Aren't @vincentsarago and @bitner members of stac-utils org? I'll also send a note to Rob.
@geohacker David and I are members not owners
I've asked Rob if he can add @batpad

Just asked in Gitter (https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#SpatioTemporal-Asset-Catalog_Lobby:gitter.im) about owner ship of this repo
We want to setup the QGIS STAC Plugin to be installed and enabled by default into our QGIS setup on VEDA hub as part of https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/veda-jupyterhub/issues/9
Currently, we are installing the STAC plugin from @slesaad's fork, setup here.
This is because the upstream repository seems to have very little activity and we have had trouble merging in PRs with functionality that we would need (even though ideally all that functionality could and should be upstreamed).
Going forward, we would hope that the QGIS STAC plugin becomes a common way for people to browse through relevant STAC catalogs when people are using QGIS in the hub, and we probably would like to add more features to improve the browsing experience, potentially allow for different types of datasets, etc. It seems like long-term, it's probably not a great idea to continue building off this fork in @slesaad's github account, and it would be great to have a clear idea on who is responsible for maintenance, merging PRs, etc.
We should either:
Do we know who maintains https://github.com/stac-utils/qgis-stac-plugin/ and if we could offer help / try and figure this out? cc @wildintellect @geohacker
