“…GSoC was first established by Google in 2005 and has grown ever since. GSoC is an online, international program targeted to university students, that aims at fostering their participation in open source software communities (Rautenbach et al, 2018;Brookes et al, 2015). Mentoring organizations select students that will be developing software applications for 12 weeks and receiving support and feedback from mentors within the software community.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The latest version of pgAdmin4 was released in mid-2016 and moved to a web-based application that was written in Python and jQuery with Bootstrap, using the Flask framework. This new architecture of pgAdmin4 provided an excellent opportunity to integrate a geometry viewer into the application. This progress started as the geometry viewer was selected as a project for the 2018 Google Summer of Code (GSoC). The requirements for the geometry viewer was elicited through conversations with the mentors and emails to the discussion list of PostGIS and pgAdmin. Once the formal design was finalized the development started. The spatial technology stack implemented to expand pgAdmin4 with a geometry viewer was the JavaScript mapping library Leaflet JS and WKX - parser/serializer library that supports several spatial vector formats. Both these fulfilled the requirements of the coding standard of pgAdmin that all client-side code must be developed in JavaScript using jQuery and other plugins. Leaflet JS is well known for its ease of use and compatibility. WKX is lesser known but well supported and concise to the need to parse the spatial data before rendering on the Leaflet map. The decision on both of these libraries was motivated by their minimal size and possibilities for expansion for future extensions of the viewer. The first version of the geometry viewer was well-received and is currently integrated into the latest versions of pgAdmin4.</p>

spatiotemporal model. ASCEM project scientists have been using this data gateway since 2011. The science gateway described by Kar [13] covers a different field, namely, 'risk communication', which is the exchange of information among stakeholders about an impending disaster and its risks to help individuals take appropriate actions to mitigate hazard impacts. The CIGIR GatewayCyberInfrastructure for GeoInformatics and Community Resilience -is a contributory citizen science project, with the goal of increasing public participation in emergency management, specifically, risk communication and community resilience building efforts of the Mississippi Gulf Coast residents. CIGIR aims at reducing rumors, as an alternative to social media, providing means for citizens to share data and information about a hazard, and participate in building community resilience. The paper describes the gateway's main functions: data collection and storage, data processing and query, data visualization, data and tools download, and user access. It concludes with a reflection about future challenges, for example, translating the gateway from proprietary to open software. EDITORIAL
