As we approach the release of CKAN 2.12, we’re opening the doors for a special CKAN Monthly Live session with members of the CKAN Tech Team. This session will walk through the most important improvements in 2.12 — and what they signal for the transition toward CKAN 3.0. If you maintain a CKAN site, build extensions, or rely on CKAN for mission-critical data publishing, this session is for you.
What We’ll Cover
The Road Ahead – CKAN 2.12 and 3.0
Adrià will set the stage with an overview of the upcoming releases, what’s changing, and how 2.12 lays the groundwork for 3.0.
New Files Storage Backend
Sergey will introduce the new file storage backend landing in 2.12 (and evolving further in 3.0): what it solves, why it matters for scalability, and what maintainers should prepare for.
DataStore API: Filters, Pagination & Performance
Ian, Yan, and Eric will walk through:
- Advanced filtering improvements
- Pagination enhancements
- Performance gains for large datasets
- A preview of upcoming DataStore work
The New UI Theme
A preview of the updated theme and what it means for modernizing CKAN deployments.
Additional Improvements & Open Discussion
We’ll cover other notable changes and open the floor for questions.
Why This Matters
CKAN powers hundreds of open data portals worldwide. With 2.12, we’re strengthening performance, modernizing infrastructure, and preparing the ecosystem for the next major evolution in CKAN 3.0.
Join us to understand what’s changing — and how to stay ahead.
See you there!
