Worked on the geonetwork/core-geonetwork repository, delivering features and fixes across backend, frontend, and CI/CD domains. Addressed CI reliability by updating GitHub Actions runner images and maintained workflow compatibility as environments evolved. Improved logging configuration and documentation, ensuring logs were written to user-specified directories and reducing deployment misconfigurations. Enhanced image attachment serving by standardizing PNG output and HTTP headers. Delivered new harvester filtering options and clarified API Key authentication in documentation, supporting better data governance and security. Fixed pagination and UI issues in data harvesting workflows, applying Java, JavaScript, and CSS to improve reliability, usability, and maintainability throughout the codebase.
February 2026 (2026-02) — geonetwork/core-geonetwork. This month focused on boosting data-harvesting reliability and UI usability for GeoNetwork/WFS by fixing a critical harvester pagination bug, addressing UI scrolling issues, and delivering a scrollable WFS format dropdown. These changes improve data completeness, user experience, and maintainability, with targeted fixes and tests to prevent regression.
