GeoNode: Call for Testers
For the past year we’ve been excited to develop a new software project in partnership with the World Bank: GeoNode.
GeoNode aims to be the next generation of spatial data infrastructure. Some of it—such as GeoExplorer with integrated styler or data publishing through open standards—will be familiar to users of the OpenGeo Suite. What GeoNode provides on top is search enabled by an ISO metadata catalog and an integrated front-end for user management, security, data browsing, cartography, and more.
The best way to learn about it is to try it yourself on the live demo!
We are almost ready for our 1.0 release, and we need your help testing GeoNode. So please, make an account and give it a shot. If you find any issues, please don’t hesitate to report them on our project Trac. We’ll be squashing bugs and redeploying regularly in the upcoming weeks.
Our hope is to have a robust release candidate available for a grand unveiling at FOSS4G this year. See you there!

How can I register?
Just re-enabled registration after a recent redeployment. See the link in the upper right corner of the demo.
will a version of GeoNode be release as ‘Community Edition’, like the OpenGeo Suite?
GeoNode 1.0 will be released as a community-led project. We won’t call it “Community Edition” because so far there is no Enterprise version to contrast it with.
We will be selling support contracts on GeoNode. These will include support for the OpenGeo Suite as well as hours for work on GeoNode, which builds on top of the Suite’s core components.
