+## Contributions
+
+During the Code Sprint, we achieved the following:
+
+### GeoStyler ArcGIS Parser
+
+One of the probably biggest and hopefully most impactful achievements is the
+introduction of the [geostyler-lyrx-parser](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-lyrx-parser) which allows
+for parsing of ArcGIS Pro styles (.lyrx format)! The parser is based on the [GeoCat/bridge-style](https://github.com/GeoCat/bridge-style)
+and was ported from Python into TypeScript. It is now integrated into the GeoStyler eco sytem, so that it integrates seamlessly with all the other existing parsers! That means that it is now possible to convert
+ArcGIS styles to QGIS, Mapbox, OpenLayers, and SLD! So far reading ArcGIS Pro styles with
+features layers, meaning point, line, polygon or text classes, with margin, padding, offset, colors and more is possible! Expressions are already implemented but need some corrections. Handling icons is a work in progress.

+[@jwkaltz](https://github.com/jwkaltz),
+[@myriamfischer](https://github.com/myriamfischer),
+[@thomasmarti](https://github.com/thomasmarti),
+[@eschuh](https://github.com/eschuh),
+[@bsteinemann](https://github.com/bsteinemann).
+
+Besides that, an ArcGIS integration was created that allows for visually comparing ArcGIS styles with their SLD equivalents,
+making use of the [GeoStyler REST API](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-rest).
+
+Kudos to 
+[@myriamfischer](https://github.com/myriamfischer),
+[@thomasmarti](https://github.com/thomasmarti),
+[@eschuh](https://github.com/eschuh),
+[@bsteinemann](https://github.com/bsteinemann).
+
+### GeoStyler QGIS Plugin
+
+Making use of the [geostyler-cli](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-cli),
+a new QGIS Plugin called [geostyler-qgis-plugin](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-qgis-plugin)
+was created that allows exporting layer styles from QGIS into the other formats supported by GeoStyler. In the future, we also intend
+to extend the plugin with importing capabilities, so that users are able to import other styling formats into QGIS.
+

+
+Kudos to
+[@geographika](https://github.com/geographika),
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### GeoStyler CLI
+
+Dependencies in the [geostyler-cli](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-cli) were upgraded to their latest versions. Furthermore,
+the executing commands for the different environments such as node, npx, binary executable, were harmonized. For all environments,
+the executing command will now be `geostyler-cli`!
+
+Kudos to
+[@geographika](https://github.com/geographika),
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### GeoStyler-Style
+
+The [geostyler-style](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-style) was extended with additional function expressions.
+The basic casting expressions `toNumber` and `toString` were added, which allow for converting values to numbers and
+strings, respectively. Additionally, `step` and `interpolate` expressions will now be supported, making it possible
+to provide categorized and interpolated values.
+
+Kudos to
+[@kaivolland](https://github.com/kaivolland),
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### GeoStyler Mapbox Parser
+
+The [geostyler-mapbox-parser](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-mapbox-parser) now successfully reads colors as hex-codes
+as well as RGBA strings into the GeoStyler style. This works for both hardcoded color values and color values in (nested) expressions.
+Also the parser now supports the newly introduced `interpolate` expression.
+
+Kudos to
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### GeoStyler SLD Parser
+
+The usability of the [geostyler-sld-parser](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-sld-parser) was improved by automatically reading
+the version of a given SLD from the style itself. Through this, it is now possible to up-/downgrade SLDs while using only a
+single instance of the parser. Additionally, the geostyler-sld-parser now supports translating its error messages into multiple languages,
+which allows for easier communicating styling errors with the style editors.
+
+Kudos to
+[@ocruze](https://github.com/ocruze),
+[@pprev94](https://github.com/pprev94).
+
+### GeoStyler UI
+
+The [GeoStyler UI](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler) was improved by adding an upload file button to the code editor.
+Additionally, the expressions UI was extended with elements for the `case` and `step` function expressions.
+

+
+Kudos to
+[@kaivolland](https://github.com/kaivolland),
+[@pprev94](https://github.com/pprev94).
+
+### GeoStyler Visual Comparator
+
+A not-yet published tool for visually comparing different styles that were processed by GeoStyler was improved by adding
+additional styles to compare and tweaking the UI.
+
+![GeoStyler Visual Comparator](/images/geostyler-codesprint-2024-comparator.png)
+
+Kudos to 
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### GeoStyler Homepage Design
+
+A new design concept for the GeoStyler Homepage was created that serves all static content at one place. As part of that,
+the homepage, tutorials, showcases, demo applications and more should all be directly accessible from
+the homepage. The new design is intended to better deliver the message of GeoStyler while still being easy to maintain.
+

+[@slafayIGN](https://github.com/slafayIGN),
+[@jansule](https://github.com/jansule).
+
+### ESModule Builds
+
+The GeoStyler packages were harmonized and now all provide ESModule builds in their distrubtions. We also moved from
+webpack to vite and vitest in order to simplify our tooling.
+
+Kudos to
+[@kaivolland](https://github.com/kaivolland),
+[@hwbllmnn](https://github.com/hwbllmnn).
+
+### GeoStyler REST
+
+The [GeoStyler REST API](https://github.com/geostyler/geostyler-rest) received some updates and now makes use
+of bun.
+
+![GeoStyler Rest Image](/images/geostyler-codesprint-2024-rest.png)
+
+Kudos to
+[@kaivolland](https://github.com/kaivolland).
+
+### GeoStyler and the French State Design System
+
+IGN started working on integrating the GeoStyler UI components into applications using the
+[French State Design System](https://www.systeme-de-design.gouv.fr/),
+showcasing the customization possibilities of these components.
+
+![GeoStyler in French State Design System](/images/geostyler-codesprint-2024-ign-design.png)
+
+Kudos to
+[@ocruze](https://github.com/ocruze).
+
+### Additional achievements
+
+Besides the above mentioned achievements, we also managed to upgrade dependencies, updated pipelines to
+include semantic-release and webhooks that notify our discord users about published releases,
+for many of our repositories. It is now also possible to publish beta releases in order to try out
+experimental features.
