June Release
------------
Thanks Justin for building mac DMG.
Doc publication stuck on OpenGeo Staff (not released since 2.3.0!)
Held up on:
- headers (IBM crew out of China was doing a formal review)
- windows 7 + jdk 7 build failures reported on twitter
Tested build:
- Win XP both JDK6 and JDK7
Options for docs?
- Static github page hosting (see example http://udig.github.io )
- We publish using these steps http://www.refractions.net:8080/confluence/display/ADMIN/Documentation+Generation+and+Deploy
WPS Shootout
------------
Simone and Jody have been invited to take part.
Simone volounteered Andrea to participate.
Update: A spot confirmed by the FOSS4G organisers (in part because no WMS-Shootout volunteers can be found - all hiding).
Stay tuned ...
Rasters proposals coming in for good this week
----------------------------------------------
- This week make pull requests for GSIP Mult-coverage GridReader
- Two weeks later for the next one
Discussion harvest?
- Jody had a concern about harvest (file abstraction vs reader abstraction). Response is to change API to accept an Object, first implementation will be File
This is a one-two punch, introduce new API so that the NetCDF implemenation does not have to carry around a "old api" baggage.
May live in unsupported for a while to gather real-world feedback.
Headers
-------
- got contacted off list from IBM China who were conducting a review
- they found 4 files that were not LGPL
- jody mostly handled it
- check your code template settings
- check when bringing code over from geoserver
In general the headers were pretty good, had enough information for us to contact the responsible parties and sort it out.
(Why does moovida keep making more work for me!)
