Jody is working on some geoserver-devel docs.

Andrea was looking at restoring GeoServer 1.7.x functinality allowing a CQL

MongoDB, there was interest from the mailing list:
- GeoTools has an older AbstractDataStore based one
- Boundless has a ContentDataStore implementation (no license, no copyright headers)

Pull request round-up
---------------------

A couple "good" pull requests in GeoTools caused downstream failure in GeoServer:

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/855 Empty Shapefile
- broke ImageMoasic in GeoServer SystemTestData

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/844
- broke WCS Tests in GeoServer

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1084
- security issue, Kevin has merged
- request to backport to stable/maintenace/2.5/2.4 would require budget

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1083
- INSPIRE schemaLocation
- good discussion on tradeoffs
- Ben is pretty happy with this and has merged

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1063
- docs on auto projection

GeoFence REST API discussion
----------------------------

- Christian and Niels both working on API for users. This seems to have settled down, has settled down.
- The pull request is waiting on a review from Emmanuel.

Request: Ask Niels and Christian to confirm their approach and write a proposal if required.

GitHub Magic Regex
------------------

Kevin produced a fun command line to bulk update headers on modified files:

sed -i 's/\(([cC])\) 2014 Open Source Geospatial Foundation/\1 2014 - 2015 Open Source Geospatial Foundation/' $(git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r HEAD)

You can use this on your feature branch before issuing a pull request. Your mileage may vary.

Apologies from Andrea for the next meeting.
