v2.0 release update

[jqnatividad]

Hi @mlipper,

Have been using dockerized geoclient successfully this past week - https://github.com/delner/geoclient-docker (also just found your https://github.com/mlipper/geosupport-docker this morning).

With containerization, taking a renewed interest in geoclient and was just wondering if what's the target for v2.0...

Thanks!

Hey @jqnatividad,

Thanks for bringing this up. A lot has been going on at work so I've barely done anything for release 2.0 but I will try to define some milestones in the next few days. One of them includes the use of a Docker build plugin for Gradle allowing one to run and develop the project's code on non-Linux hosts without having to mess around with cross-compilers.

Similarly, I've added some of my own Dockerfiles and a shell script to the tip of the rocksjni branch if you're interested. Using them requires first creating a "volume container" from mlipper/geosupport-docker (or similar) and then referencing that container with "volumes-from". If it's not clear, please feel free to get in touch and I'll try to explain more formally.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi @mlipper!

That's great! Having official Docker support in v2.0 would be awesome!

It will go a long way towards folks adopting Geoclient without "abusing" the hosted version the City has. :)

You may want to consider an opt-in "phone home" function to help you track community usage as people spin up Geoclient locally. The incentive being it'll double as a notification mechanism to refresh the geosupport files when DCP updates them.

Thanks!
Joel
