Graduating INSPIRE module
-------------------------
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+94+-+Graduate+the+INSPIRE+module+to+extension+status
Code coverage is at 85% <-- ready!
Graduate?
Module maintainer: Who wrote it?
WMS: someone from OpenGeo (Justin, Gabriel?)
WFS: Jesse (Andrea completed tests)
Needed: multi-langage, WMTS need a capabilites (complicated)
Moving it to an extension is a "stamp of approval" which helps promotion. Increased code coverage, build box will notice when broken etc...
Release
-------
Went smoothly for GeoTools!
- The Readme.html links are wrong, need to fix (sigh)
- Really liked the News anouncement
GeoServer was an almost ...
- "release phase" is last (after mac and windows installer!)
- Separate build box for windows and mac installers
(Note windows installer can be generated on linux)
- crashed uploading to sourceforge
- so tag on github missed <-- STILL MISSING
Idea:
- modify the scripts so the basics are mandatory, and the installers
can be optional
- GWC SNAPSHOT <-- can we get a stable 1.4.0 is ready (sad)
- Q: Can we use a timestamp or tag?
Or do a maven only release of GWC (ie milestone release to maven).
- Gabriel is busy on GeoGit
- Q: Who else is on GWC? A: Kevin Smith
Continue to live dangerously ... write down the REVISION L-)
Q: How is GWC released? A: Ask Kevin, as there is no release process
JD: Someone can propose one
Q: Who is Releasing Next?
Ben ... yay Ben!
FOSS4G Code Sprint
------------------
Lots of good ideas!
1) Internationalisation of DataStore params
That would be a great visible change, and makes good volunteers
2) clean out dead code: <-- andrea likes the idea
gt-validation? gt-geometry, gt-jts-wrapper, etc...
3) good module hunting:
gt-wkt <-- this is cool lets do it
4) Factory update to Java 6 + Registery
Jody wants this but it is tough, and not visible to users
Proposal Pipeline
-----------------
Check the wiki for a sneak peek <-- cool stuff!
Developer Chatter
-----------------
- JD working on Output formats, XML Speed improvements see email
- Working with other OWS implementations is a pain, have to special case axis order when talking to each implementation. Worst case, results correct, but BBOX filter must be wrong in order to get a result
- Eclipse Location Tech:
- Submitting JTS now, GeoTools 9.0-M0 next ...
- GeoScript will give it a go using GeoTools 9.0
