2.11.2 release

  • Jody not available this week, can help on the weekend.

  • Boundless is racing for code freeze

Windows and mac builds are still manual, not quite working on new build server.

  • Windows build waiting on cert from OSGeo (jody got permission Nick needs to use it)

  • Action: Jody to catch up with Nick and SAC.

  • Mac build was on qgis server which is now gone (they moved to vagrant vm only available to developers running mac)

2.12-beta release (and what new features?)

How about august?

  • See email thread about delaying due to foss4g?

  • Proposal is to delay one week due to availability but still hit September 18th release for 2.12.

  • Action: Jody to check if greater than 1 week delay is worth discussing, will report to a new email thread.

New features incoming:

  • WMTS cascading

  • Style groups

  • GWC security improvements

  • Action: Kevin starting working, please vote on GSIP 169

  • GeoCSS variable expansion, minor improvements to editor

  • GWC Rest API Migrate - david vick working on this for code freeze (also docs?)

  • Options for KML Placemark placement

  • Options to control char/word spacing in text symbolizer

  • New REST-API Docs

  • Action: Mike to review and take look for gaps during August bug stomp.

  • HSV rendering transform or color transform

  • rendering transform easier, no GSIP

  • Color transform (normalization algorithm) has one use case (rotating a DEM color map) that we could not do.

Extensions:

  • geopkg community → extensions (needs splitting in store/wms/wfs/wps, and a volunteer) (and support for r-tree spatial index would be appreciated)

Community:

  • csv community datastore and wps output (ian turton)

  • GeoJson store

Questions on vector tiles on user list

A number of questions on the user list:

  • Maintainer: David Blasby is maintainer; currently focused on geogig.

  • Needs a maintainer or goes back to community…

Marlin renderer at JavaOne

GeoServer PSC does have a budget, can we help.

  • Action: Andrea to make an email thread, work with Simone (or Jody) to request $500 USD for our GeoServer PSC Budget.

Is the branch merged:

  • waiting on mac test, we cannot do final test until 2.12-beta

  • Action: Andrea merge, and ask email list to test a nightly, will need to test installers during 2.12-beta.

FOSS4G-EU chat

Presentation was a success: Stage of GeoServer 2.11

  • Thanks to Andrea, Kevin, Ian, Torben and Jody for Content

  • It took 30 mins, had to go fast over security and future challenges.

Ideas:

  • User conference 2018? We could do this … one day presentations one day workshops

  • Concentrates people having specific interest in GeoServer

  • Small less expensive than full foss4g conference

  • Global one, or multiple small ones?

Conference:

  • Lack of wifi

  • Code sprints:

  • grass, pywps, osgeo-live and others were productive

  • got help with osgeo website, and team photos

Discussion- Winter is coming, code freeze august 18th (or one week later due to foss4g)

  • Build issues - no timeout issues recently from travis

  • Bug stomp friday

  • Help needed on REST API docs review and gaps

  • Raster Processing Engine (RPE) - went through 3 or 4 design decisions

  • CITE tests - after boston?
