Consolation Mangena

Lead developer & SiteSurveyor project steward

Consolation started SiteSurveyor after coordinating survey teams that needed transparent tooling from capture to delivery. He now reviews contributions, keeps the release pipeline healthy, and helps new contributors get set up. The project's MIT-based open-source foundation means every workflow stays testable, auditable, and ready for customization.

Why we exist

Accessible geomatics workflows

SiteSurveyor keeps the capture → QA → delivery pipeline transparent. Tagged releases mirror source, desktop and web experiences stay in sync, and data governance stays configurable without vendor lock-in.

Open by default

Every feature ships from the public repository. Issues, discussions, and roadmaps stay in the open.

Community guarded

Clear review steps and lightweight RFCs keep big choices reversible.

Inclusive velocity

Starter issues, templates, and regular pairing sessions help first-time contributors land real impact.

Pragmatic innovation

We prototype fast, document what works, and ship artifacts that teams can depend on in production.
