Torben Barsballe

Actions from Last Meeting- Jody: Letter for JTS Topology Suite Release (permission to distribute Oracle classes as BSD): https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/JTS-ORA-Contribution

Agenda- Automated CITE Tests

  • Java 9

  • OSGeo CITE Application

  • OSGeo Budget request

  • Sprint Planning

  • Google Code In Tasks (Education outreach)

  • Pull Request Roundup

Actions- Jody/Torben: Schedule CITE debugging session

  • Jody: Remind GeoTools PMC to vote on Java 9 Proposal

  • Jody: Forward OSGeo CITE Application email and determine how much time is left for this renewal application. Probably not much because automatic mail from OGC says “are due to be renewed by October 31st, 2017.

  • Jody: Need a spreadsheet comparing sprint location costs to justify budget request (short list from email discussion, compare flights and accommodation for January/February?)

  • Kevin: Bounce GWC planning of gwc email list for discussion review

  • Jody: Revise http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/geotools/ with features list from OSGeo-Live

Automated CITE Tests

All except wfs 1.1 working on apollo.

For upgrading to new CITE tests; waiting on this activity to complete (and sufficient resources).

Actions:

  • Looks like we need debugging session to see where test case is stuck (so JDB session on build.geoserver.org).

  • Or list the open files and ports for the test case (how to determine process ID for the test?)

Java 9

Pull request in review, proposal could be reviewed and approved, awaiting javadocs.

Actions:

  • Jody: Remind GeoTools PMC to vote

OSGeo CITE Application

OSGeo has a reminder from OGC to renew stuff; see email on board@anonymised.com list. Jody will forward.

If we manually run the tests and see what we pass we can get certification for this year free-of-charge due to partnership between OSGeo and OGC.

Can we ask for a volunteer to stand up a server and run the tests, whatever we pass we can submit, whatever we do not pass we could make a bug report. It is not automated but it would be something …

Not sure if we can do this, email seems to indicate Oct 31st.

Action:

  • Jody: Forward email and determine how much time is left for this renewal application. Probably not much because automatic mail from OGC says “are due to be renewed by
    October 31st, 2017. BTW GeoServers can be found from http://www.opengeospatial.org/resource/products/compliant under Product Provider: Boundless. Latest version on the list is 2.9.1.

OSGeo Budget request

A reminder to think about this was sent out by Anita, to have on hand for November Budget.

Budget ideas GeoServer

  • sprint planning, see below, was $3000 last year

  • consider hiring student to run cite tests (see above) it would be a good way to promote standards and interoperability for all our projects :smiley:

Budget ideas for GWC

  • via incubation committee, but budget still available?

  • asked for ideas on mailing list, anything suitable there? See below…

  • license cleanup, distributed contributors, idea?

Budget idea for GeoTools

  • RPE JAI Wrapper sprint, use $3000 above as a guide? Or look at more extensive fundraising

Discussion on use of students

  • Intern to run CITE tests is not a bad idea

Sprint Planning

Kevin seems to be the most organized getting GWC refresh underway.

GWC Sprint outline:

  1. code cleanup in 2017 to get the codebase ready

  2. add new features during sprint:

  3. based on competitive analysis with other products

  4. review of geoserver integration

Idea: Importer cleanup

  1. Clean up codebase, use of switch statements

  2. Goal: Import geopkg with styling and publish as GeoServer workspace (unpacking styles etc… as needed)

JAI Replacement:

  1. Targeted for OSGeo sprint in Bonn

Action:

  • Need a spreadsheet comparing location costs to justify budget request (short list from email discussion, compare flights and accommodation for January/February?)

  • Kevin: Bounce GWC planning of gwc email list for discussion review

Google Code In Tasks (Education outreach)

This is for highschool, similar goals as GSOC, but instead focused on getting students to use open source.

There was email on discuss (ha ha) Jody has put in a couple geotools tasks that amount to compiling and running the quickstart to display a shapefile.

GeoServer tasks suggestions welcome.

Contact vickie for access to shared google doc of tasks (this is private because students are in a competition to complete tasks).

  • Andrea already asked for a testcase, currently waiting

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1670

  • Java 9

  • Discussion indicates this is waiting on javadocs for new factory methods

  • Compatibility with ImageIO Registrable Service

  • Downstream testing with GeoServer, GWC, others, …

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1657

  • Waiting on test case and CLA

  • No feedback for 3-4 months

  • Subject of previous review roundup

  • Jody has sent a request out to both bug ticket and PR, providing links between the two so the PR can be closed if we do not get a response.

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1649

  • Fix may be wrong, not quite certain

  • Additional logic seems “okay” but ignores converter design

  • Tests rewritten and avoid color literals, reduced test coverage would open us up to breaking existing working functionality

2

I emailed the coordinator (Brad Maguire, CCed here) of Vancouver Island University’s GIS program’s practicum which I mentioned as a possibility during the meeting. They are looking for projects to run in February and March but require a project outline by November 11th and locking down student/sponsor pairings by November 21st. We would have to convince OSGeo fund it and probably Boundless to provide some space and mentorship (Jody, Torben, or me) in Victoria. I don’t think all that’s going to happen in this time frame.
