GeoFence graduation

Emanuele wants to switch GeoFence to extension, GSIP incoming.

  • Long time community module

  • Q: Any additional REST API to document?

  • Yes, mig brated, …

  • Property file replacement resolver clashes

  • Now a conflict with GWC which uses same approach

  • Monitoring plugin has same approach

  • “property placeholders” are bad idea

  • Emanuele is removing property placeholders usage in GeoFence in the meantime

Discussion about not using property placeholders:

  • GWC has a use case for adjusting path between standalone and embedded

GeoServer 2.11.3 release

Release volunteers: Andrea and Jody

CITE: How do you want to do it?

  • Take the latest revisions and go?

  • Take WMS tests from Ares?

  • Or run cite tests locally, do not remember how

  • Wait on next agenda topic …

CITE tests switch

Close but no cigar…

  • All cite tests on Ares should not failing

  • Only WFS tests due to change to PostGIS 2.0 breaks

  • Can we rely

  • Ben has a suggestion, look at startup order, …

  • Follow up on email

  • Cite tests are trying to hit port 8080

  • GeoServer is running somewhere else (on 11010)

Code sprint 2018

Ideas:

  • XML parsing stuff

  • GWC refactor/improve/…

  • Comparison table with MapProxy, MapCache, TileCache

  • Is a sprint needed, see kevin’s email

  • code cleanup

  • import/export

  • Java 9

  • Jody hopes that a sprint is not needed for this?

  • Main tech risk has an outstanding proposal

  • See aaime’s email, buld wise it is not that far away (did not test running)

  • build wise (no run tests)

  • Dependencies upgrade? :slight_smile:

  • Raster API replacement and wrapper around JAI?

  • Explicitly for the C tribe code sprint; small targeted group with a goal of standing up initial interfaces

  • C tribe sprint places travel costs on attendent, funding goes to facility and food

  • REST API 2.0?

  • Kevin: give it a rest…

  • User Interface improvements?

  • Go through the ideas from victoria sprint

  • Many small changes to ease frustration, rather than big overhaul

  • GWC Wicket GUI? Or even freemarker …

Where/When:

  • C/Tribe sprint - expensive to attend personally, good for targeted activity JAI replacement

  • St Louis - cheap accommodation, boundless office, foss4g-na event

  • Victoria - good option for accommodation, cheap to attend personally, travel expensive

  • Astun Office in Epsom, nr London or South Coast of UK - Epsom accommodation is expensive South Coast is cheaper but no office space.

  • New Zealand - ben if fun but far away

  • New York - boundless office is small, accommodation is expensive

  • CCRi - may put us up, reach out Jim

GeoServer reporting GeoTools 18.x

pom.xml looks correct, might be an issue in the GeoTools jar manifest / version.ini
