Meeting time
------------
Daylight savings time ending in New Zealand. Ben asks for a later meeting.
Idea: Move 1/2 hour later
- Too late for Europe
- No good for Andrea and Jukka
- Even later might be OK (after dinner)
- Can we go to the other side of the clock?
- Nope, current time is least bad 
Andrea: How about 2 hours later:
- May be possible?
- Kind of up to Jukka?
- Jukka: OK
Motion: Move meeting to 19:30 UTC
Agreed!
Jira migration
--------------
All tickets and attachments collected, just a matter of getting versions and components, and attributes
Harrison (Guest)
Cloud: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa
We can use the new jira instance for new tickets (since old tickets will line up). Easier to update existing ticket than to create a new one with all the new information.
Q: Off by one error? (Reported by Torben)
A: Yes, created one ticket fewer than neede. Title in the summary is filler is also off by one - but since that will be replaced it is not important.
Q: Automate creation of versions?
A: Yep, similar to the script for tickets
Tarball of everything and script.
Q: reattach attachments?
A: yes
Q: What is the missing?
A: User that created the ticket ... will store the username as a custom field
Q: Will the username be stored or perserved?
A: Stored in a custom field
Q: Scripts open source?
A: BSD 2-clause
Discussion: How to add new users? By hand (PSC members) or open for user sign up? Is it possible to write a script to remove input from a spammer?
The other issue is 2000 user limit. Jody: not sure I care 
We can ask when we get that far...
Idea: Use jira as a backend for something else. Form to feed issues into Jira. This is used on free BSD project - new users like to create new tickets more than they want to comment on existing tickets.
Idea: Create components by hand? Not helpful as the internal ids don't match...
Q: Is the new instance slow?
Gets faster during interactive use.
Very slow for creating tickets ... not sure why?
HH: Would like to benchmark performance?
- May consider osgeo hosted jira
- Can also atliassian
Q: uDig and GeoAPI?
A: Collected so we have a backup, but GeoServer and GeoTools are priority
Wiki
- https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki
- old.geotools.org
- script to convert from textile output --> markdown or rst?
Docs
- do through geotools docs and remove references to wiki
- module matrix
- update config.py GEOT definition
- anything else ...

Quote: "If you are unable to maintain your responsibilities as a PMC member, please feel free to step down at any time. Thank you so much for your contributions. If we cannot find you (especially when voting on proposals) it becomes very difficult to keep the project functioning. After two months time we will send out a search party and nominate your replacement."
Ben: Would like find more volunteers for reviewing pull requests
Jukka: And tickets.
GeoTools intended to use module maintainers for reviewing pull requests.
Ben: Update the policy to 6 months and automatically update the PSC list.
Andrea: Need a proposal for this (Ben to take the action item)
