Hello from Grafana Map Panel

[amotl]

Dear Rui André Costa, @ftcardoso, @chicco785, @WT-JB, @taliaga, @modularTaco and @WhitesteinDevelopment,

I have just now become aware of what you are doing here and wanted to take the chance to humbly point out our fork of the original Grafana Worldmap Panel at https://github.com/panodata/grafana-map-panel.

We've put in some reasonable amount of work in order to keep it alive, have been able to collect some contributions from the community and add other things from our own pen.

At [1], we outlined the development process. At [2], there is a summary about all the features and at [3], we came back to the Grafana community in order to announce our work.

While I recognize the code bases might have diverged significantly, I wanted to at least step by in order to eventually get in touch with you.

Keep up the spirit and with kind regards,
Andreas.

I have just now become aware of what you are doing here.

In fact, it looks like I have already become aware of your fork in the past, see grafana-toolbox/panodata-map-panel#20 (comment). However, just now after seeing the contributions by @chicco785 (cheers!), I finally wanted to take the chance to say hello.

Hi again,

thank you so much for reaching out to us at grafana-toolbox/panodata-map-panel#87, @chicco785! I've just shared some thoughts over there.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

hi andreas, following the limitations that grafana 7+ has due to angular, we have been reworking the plugin in react, when done, maybe you can have a look and tell us your thoughts.
