Next up is JAI?
- we need to establish scope to determine what is needed
- we should issue a call for participation / fundraise a replacement

- Andrew: Call for participation on LocationTech channels

AppSchema Test Failures
-----------------------

http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/jenkins/view/geoserver/job/geoserver-master-app-schema-online/

Boundless has been unable to setup an Oracle to run 3D tests against?
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7062

Can we disable these tests for the jenkins build?

Q: Can we disable by remove the oracle test fixture?
- BCD: yes, remove ~/.geoserver/oracle.properties and build with -pl '!app-schema-oracle-test'
- see https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-6883

MongoDB DataStore
-----------------

Boundless would like to donate MongoDB datastore as a geotools unsupported module.

Just a heads up, Jody will send an email request later in the week.

Pull Request Roundup
--------------------
