Projects with Community Involvement

Image:announce_develop.png Ingres Janitors Project
A group of projects to extend and enhance Ingres.

To find out more, please view our web site, check out our FEQ, visit us in the #ingres IRC channel, and talk with us to let us know the kinds of things you want to see in a best in class Open Source RDBMS.

Image:announce_design.png Debug Framework
Debugging is often a time intensive process requiring lots of coordination between the end user, DBA's, system administrators and support personnel. A Debugging Framework could ease some of the issues involved by providing a standard collection of debug information that can be easily attached to support tickets. Supported by Talent First Network and Google Summer of Code.

A framework is being developed to execute a set of chosen executables and libraries in order to gather as much useful information as possible for debugging errors, while remaining as open and extensible as possible.

Anthony Stanisci
Image:announce_design.png GeoSpatial
We recently initiated an international geospatial project to develop a new enterprise-grade, standards compliant spatial library in partnership with the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGEO), Universities, and other companies. This Open Source project leverages best in class Open Source software including GEOS, GDAL/OGR, Proj4, and more that are part of OSGEO. Our community is growing rapidly as there is no entity providing the unique combination of transparent Open Source development backed by professional service and support operating in 58 countries. Supported by Talent First Network.

To find out more, please view our web site, join our mailing list, visit us in the #ingres IRC channel, and talk with us to let us know the kinds of things you want to see in a best in class spatial RDBMS.

Image:announce_develop.png Ingres CAFÉ
In conjunction with Carlton University in Toronto, Canada, Ingres is developing a Consolidated Application Foundation for Eclipse (Ingres CAFÉ). Ingres CAFÉ provides a complete development and deployment environment for Eclipse with a fully integrated enterprise strength Ingres RDBMS. This environment let's developers start coding with a single-click install and developers can easily move their applications into production. Supported by Talent First Network and Google Summer of Code.
