Aside: We may not of sent email / blog post. Travis had a draft blog post we need to publish.
No concurrent releases. Tom on the email list was looking at this.
Security proposal and GeoFence integration
------------------------------------------
Proposal: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-125---Layer-with-Service-Security
- Jody could not see a way to simplify
- Anyone else available to comment
GeoFence:
- GeoSolutions would like to help fast track integration of GeoFence.
- Target a limited port (strip of GWT UI, do REST API later)
- Add a wicket UI
- Left with an h2 backed security (jdbc based)
- Target 2.8.x
- concern that Niel's proposal would cover 50% of what GeoFence would cover and both would land in 2.8.x
- can look into collaboration with Niels
New committers / community modules
----------------------------------
Tile stuff. Early days, wait for initial pull request.
Torbien: Jody nominated, waiting for votes on this .. PropertyDataStore is a supported datastore (so this is for "real" commit access). Jody will add to github.
Travis: community module CSVDataStore (it was a bit of a mess when it arrived from GeoServer). Good to go.
Feedback on the beta
--------------------
- Css deadlock? fixed ... was actualy in the GeoServer style handlers
- Plenty of feedback, handled most of it (some great examples from german spatial agency)
- No feedback on the color-blending. Idea: add to style cookbook or tutorial? Seems to have a tutorial already ...
- Idea: add css support for color-blending
- No feedback on WPS clustering
- Jukka has been testing IE 7 issues (closing them if they are fixed on IE 10)
