CodeHaus Migration
------------------
- Talked to OSGeo SAC, they are going to port Jira
- Talked to Atlassian, they approved GeoServer as a group, Andrea is asking about getting OSGeo approved (for both GeoServer and GeoTools)
- Consider scheduling this for ... next week? Waiting on above.
- Emailed GeoTools dev list with proposal to migrate wiki to GitHub
If this does not work plan for a workparty next month!
Release: 13.0 / 2.7.0 / 1.7.0
-----------------------------
Release goes out tomorrow.
Mike has kindly put together a draft blog post - thanks Mike!
There are a number of last moment issues, pull requests, etc....
1) Possible Security Regression
- see email, we need someone to reproduce the issue and confirm this is a change between GeoServer 2.6 and GeoServer 2.7.
- this would be a blocker if confirmed!
1a) If security regression confirmed, delay release by a week
2) relax paths
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/960
Want this in, conversation seems to have stopped. This fix allows GeoServer 2.5 users to update.
Action: merge this in to stable.
3) deprecating viewtype interfaces for GeoTools (merged)
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/782
4) GWC fix for path generation ArcGIS cache
Change provided (hex vs decimal), but no test case provided so it may be rejected.
5) GWC static analysis found an infinite recursion
6) ECQL fix just merged, back port to stable?
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/772
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-5051
Without this change we would produce a CQL expression that we would not be able parse back in. So this is an improvement ...
7) WCS leak
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/975
Jody needs a review of the above...
Other:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6553
Is matchCase supported in PropertyIsLike or not?
MapServer has dropped support for SDE https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5068
Online build
------------
1) Oracle
No update yet, waiting on a database.
2) gt-jdbc-postgis
JNDI failure is preventing some tests being run.
3) gs-app-schema-test
Got the goahead from boundless to run this on ares.
Q: Does this need oracle or postgis?
A: both or either ...
Q: Are there docs?
A: Heaps! How to exclude Oracle if not required:
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6883
Instructions for Oracle and PostGIS 8 and 9 (variants):

foss4gna sprint update
----------------------
Not a lot of presence at foss4g (one workshop and one wps presentation by Andrea). A lot of users everywhere ...
Code Sprint: need to make a blog post to thank people and boundless for making it happen ...
1) CITE
Travis got WFS CITE tests (from master) running locally.
Torben WFS and started on WCS.
Waiting on Justin to commit the command line tests on Thursday. At which point we will hook it up to Ares.
So we should have a fair bit of work ahead of us on this one ...
2) We got a GeoMesa community module
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/973
3) We started on replacing vecmath
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Change+from+vecmath+to+EJML
- https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/matrix
Tyler looked at removing vecmath and cleaning up Point and Line classes from vecmath.
Jim, Jody started porting over and so far it is going smoothly. See proposal tasks for the next step.
