CITE Tests Request for Proposal
It looks like we have enough funding (with some help from GeoTools PMC) in the range of 10k.
Actions:
Update fundraising graphic and thank sponsors
Jody to open RFP (email to developer list, news item inviting responses and thanking sponsors)
Deadline for proposals is the end of the month
We may make a milestone for end of year, to make use of OSGeo 2019 budget
OSGeo CITE certification renews end of January (incase anything passes)
Aside:
Remember if you have sponsored this email treasurer@anonymised.com to be listed on the osgeo sponsors page. See how to become a sponsor.
GeoServer 2020 Budget / Planning
GeoServer activities/risks for 2020:
Make use of SAC hardware for maven repo (rather than webdav)
OSGeo CITE Certification Sprint / Submission
Continue with ogc-api RnD
ogc-api features 1.0 final is available already (core)
continued RnD: filter, query, transaction, …
Java 17 LTS comes out September 2021 … so not of interest!
Developers Guide update 
GeoTools 2020 Budget / Planning
GeoTools activities/risks for 2020:
ImageN jody has approval for a 0.8 release
build check for public javadocs (ideas, discussion) (idea: @Override methods should use @inheritDoc and @implNote if needed)
Continue Ian’s work on Documentation QA
Ian would like to start replacing EMF→ Beans, XSD → Beans/Xerces? GTXML with JAXB
WMTS community restconfig module
See email from last week.
Discussion community module vs adding to core
seems to be an oversight
Gabriel is going to work on a PR to core + docs + swaggers api.
Experimenting with converting to OpenAPI 3.0
YAML → JSON
Generate reliable Java client
Aside:
We mostly did this by hand to port RST documentation and were learning as we went
In OGC-API community module we also need to serve OpenAPI document
How to confirm client can be generated?
Gabriel uses OpenAPI Maven plugin, but is working from static document
ogc-api makes a dynamic document so maven plugin won’t work…
Committers cleanup, GeoTools version
Propose the same workflow as for GeoServer cleanup
active committers in the last year
devel, user, build email lists
Andrea: Makes the motion to cleanup committer list
Andrea Aime + 1 initial motion
Ian Turton
Jody Garnett +1
Nuno Oliveira
Simone Giannecchini
Torben Barsballe +1
Jukka Rahkonen +1
STAC/filter sprint
Andrea attended
STAC (can actually be vectors as well as raster)
also a features api
Aligning with ogc-api features api, features-api extensions, …
Filtering extension
Based on ECQL
Text encoding, nobody wants to write a parser
JSON encoding, similar to OGC filter structure
JSON encoding array based, similar to MapBox style
Expect this will be very successful for interoperability of data
And the production of single purpose clients
Will be murder for general purpose clients
Discussion
Any outstanding proposals, or pull requests to catch up on:
Lots of proposals coming in …
Jody to recheck the file resource PR, Gabriel has added javadocs and it is ready, …
Gabriel discussion how to manage a batch of performance issues
Use of Jira epic, Gab is going to try this
