5) release train
6) ibiblio

  brent_ anyone know if Jody is coming?
  quintona i believe not
  brent_ oh
  brent_ anyone else know what he wanted to discuss exactly with the proposed agenda items?
  quintona he sent a mail to the list this morn
  benguela I know something about 4) spring remoting service collision
  quintona hang on
  quintona Here is what I would like covered in the evening meeting:
  quintona 1. demo coordination
  quintona 2. (important) release of a WCS demo against a GeoTools 2.3.M0 (see
  quintona geotools meeting for details)
  quintona 3. (important) discussion of ability to intergrate a complex-feature
  quintona inspired datastore plugin as a 1.5.x community module
  quintona 4. spring remoting service collision, we need a naming convention or
  quintona something for the community module URLs
  quintona 5. GeoServer 1.4.0 release train, apparently Brent has taken over, I
  quintona think all docs are available now
  quintona Cheers, Jody
  jdeolive i think i can comment on 3 and 4
  brent_ ok
  brent_ lets start with the first
  brent_ 1) demo coordination
  brent_ geoserver workshop is on the wednesday
  brent_ I'm not sure what else we are coordinating with
  jdeolive probably wcs guys
  brent_ ah
  jdeolive i emailed them asking for some info about their demo, but nothing back yet
  brent_ k
  jdeolive i would like to show some of there stuff off in my talk, butnot exactly sure how
  brent_ do they have a timeslot or are they sharing with us?
  brent_ yeh me too
  jdeolive i am not sure
  jdeolive i dont think they are sharing with us
  brent_ k, well lets wait to talk with them
  jdeolive alrighty
  brent_ 2) release of a WCS
  brent_ guess we need the WCS guys for this
  jdeolive again i think we have to wait on simone and alessio for more info
  brent_ 3) integrate complex-feature datastore
  jdeolive this has to do with roba stuff
  brent_ right
  jdeolive basically getting some of the complex-features stuff / fm stuff on trunk
  jdeolive and then supporting it in geoserver
  jdeolive the geoserver side of things is pretty simple
  jdeolive wont be hard to just throw something in community for it
  jdeolive almost all the work is is geotools
  brent_ is there funding for it (ie, is anyone tasked to do it?)
  jdeolive i beleive rob is working on it
  brent_ cool
  jdeolive rob wants to get some of us together at foss and talk about what is required and what pieces are on teh table
  brent_ ok
  brent_ 4) spring remoting collisions
  jdeolive If i am not mistaken, the issue is that a bunch of the community modules use spring remoting
  jdeolive but for it to work you need to map a context path to it in web.xml
  jdeolive and geoserver does not do that today
  jdeolive quintona, can you comment any further on this?
  benguela the url dispatcher/* is mapped to the geoserver dispatcher, spring modules can map another url to their own dispatcher but then modules can conflict with each other
  jdeolive right, i had this problem before as well
  jdeolive so on trunk
  jdeolive in web xml, the contexts are mapped manually
  jdeolive wms/*, wfs/*, ows/*
  jdeolive and in dispatcher-servlet.xml
  jdeolive everything gets mapped to the same handler
  -->| groldan (n=gabriel@anonymised.com) has joined GeoServer
  jdeolive so perhaps in dispatcher-servlet.xml, we should break them out seperatley as well
  jdeolive then the remoting guys can just throw in a handler for remoting/* and do their magic
  |<-- cholmes has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
  benguela so is it first come first server ?
  benguela server = serve
  jdeolive yes
  appetkov which item are we on?
  jdeolive 4)
  jdeolive i will reply to jody's email with my suggestion and see what peoiple think
  appetkov did we start backwards or am I really that late?
  benguela ok, I can live with that
  jdeolive there is still a potential for collision, but at least this allows for a convention
  jdeolive ha, we are just really fast today :slight_smile:
  brent_ fast
  jdeolive mostly because noone from wcs was around
  jdeolive perhaps alex can comment on a few of the earlier issues
  appetkov i can based on my discussions with alessio and simone
  jdeolive cool
  jdeolive the first is we are wondering what they have planned for demos at foss
  jdeolive and if they are going to be doing a release before foss
  appetkov do you want to finish 4) first?
  jdeolive sure
  jdeolive i think we are done though unless qunitona has any more concerns?
  quintona will wait for your mail thanks
  jdeolive alrighty
  jdeolive so alex i think you are up
  appetkov 1) demo-- I nad no discussion with Alessio or Simone on a demo, although I can guess..
  appetkov are they supposed to prepare a demo, for someone to show?
  jdeolive well i talked to simone
  jdeolive and he said they were getting ready for foss
  jdeolive i just assumed it would be getting wcs stuff reayd to show
  appetkov OK, they will probably show speed imporvements, along with the new ImageMosaic coverage lugin
  gawaine excuse me, do you know if I can use an alternative repository to ibiblio ? It's very slowly and sometimes it can't allow me to download some files (actually I'm trying to download wicket-extensions, needed to compile geoserver1.4)
  jdeolive hi gawain, we can throw this on as an agenda item
  gawaine it can't allow / it doesn't allow (excuse my english)
  jdeolive 5) alternate repositories
  jdeolive so appetkov, can you explain a little about whats involved in showing off the image mosaic plugin
  jdeolive execute my ignorance
  appetkov for example, the plugin is useful for requesting only needed tiles (depending on a zoom level)
  appetkov in showing it off?
  appetkov 1. building an index shapefile
  =-= brent_ has changed the topic to "1) demo coordination 2) release of a WCS demo against a GeoTools 2.3.M0 3) intergrate a complex-feature inspired datastore plugin 4) spring remoting service collision 5) release train 6) ibiblio"
  appetkov 2. configure the coverage using the ImageMosaic plugin
  appetkov 3. make a (for example) getmap request
  appetkov did that help?
  jdeolive yes it did, thank you
  brent_ next topic?
  jdeolive are there docs somewhere?
  appetkov the correct SRS info is now showing for coverages too--no more incorrect SRS for coverages
  appetkov go to 2)?
  jdeolive sounds good
  brent_ 2) release of a WCS demo against a GeoTools 2.3.M0
  appetkov Since I really want and need to use the 1.4.x WCS branch in production, I told Simone that I want to help with the release
  jdeolive cool
  appetkov at least make a tar.gz one...
  jdeolive so i think the first step is getting simone and allessio to annouce when trunk is stable enough to make a release from
  jdeolive trunk = geotools
  appetkov He wants to have Alessio work on it either at the end of this week or next week
  appetkov OK
  jdeolive in all honesty, geotools releases tend to take a while these days, so i am not sure what can get done before foss
  jdeolive but after
  jdeolive i have offered to help with the release as well
  jdeolive and shortly after i want to move there stuff to trunk
  jdeolive after the 1.4.0 release off of trunk
  appetkov usially when a geserver release is out--Alessio alignes WCS with trunk and makes one
  jdeolive alright, so perhaps once we get 1.4.0 out, allesio will align and release
  appetkov yes, I think that is reasonable
  jdeolive i beleive that brent is doing the next milestone release, or RC0 this week
  jdeolive brent_?
  brent_ depending on time, it might be a milestone release, or an experimental release just for FOSS
  jdeolive ok
  appetkov if I am to work on a release it will have to be on my own time--bryce has other thigns for me at work here...
  brent_ whether it is passing cite tests or not
  appetkov and I will ask for Justin's help :slight_smile:
  jdeolive that sounds good appetkov, like i said after foss i am going to spend some of my time getting all tehse releases in order
  jdeolive :slight_smile:
  jdeolive so i might call on your for some acceptance testing
  jdeolive :slight_smile:
  -->| robjderr (n=chatzill@anonymised.com) has joined GeoServer
  appetkov yeah I've been doing quite a bit of that with the WCS branch
  jdeolive so does anything have any more on this, we kind of tackled both 2 and 5 there
  brent_ do we want to seguey to topic 5) release train?
  appetkov when is foss going to be over?
  brent_ sept 15
  appetkov thanks
  brent_ 5) release train
  brent_ to answer jody, no I'm not taking over the 1.4 releases. I just have to get one out this week for FOSS
  brent_ if we can combine it with a milestone that would be sweet
  brent_ so I am aiming for that
  brent_ and if all the docs are done, they are are gold for the next milestone release I believe... justin?
  |<-- quintona has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
  jdeolive yup, its really just docs that are needed for the official release
  brent_ ok
  jdeolive so shall we move to 6)
  brent_ yep
  brent_ 6) ibibibibibiblio
  jdeolive gawaine, i dont know of any ibliblio mirrors off the top of my head
  jdeolive but if you find one
  jdeolive you can configure maven to use it
  jdeolive information here
  jdeolive http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html
  sigq Title: Maven - Guide to Mirror Settings (at maven.apache.org)
  gawaine jdeolive: yes I know, but the problem is to find a mirror :slight_smile:
  jdeolive ok i see
  jdeolive i just did some quick searching, couldn't find one
  brent_ anything else?
  brent_ ok, lets call it. Thanks for coming everyone
  appetkov thanks brent
  jdeolive gawaine, have you tried any of the mirrors listed on that page
  jdeolive this one seems fast
  jdeolive http://ibiblio.lsu.edu/main/pub/packages/maven2/
  sigq Title: Index of /main/pub/packages/maven2 (at ibiblio.lsu.edu)
  jdeolive depending on where you are i guess, where are you located?
  gawaine jdeolive: italy
  gawaine now I try it
  jdeolive this one seems ok too
  jdeolive and its in europe
  jdeolive http://maven.sateh.com/repository/
  sigq Title: Index of /repository/ (at maven.sateh.com)
  gawaine wow, ibiblio.lsu works fine, thanks :slight_smile:
  jdeolive cool, good to know, i think i will try one of hte U.S. mirrors, ibliblio is darn frustrating
  gawaine jdeolive: actually, does geoserver1.4 placed on the svn works ? I've to show a demo of geoserver with wcs for a project tomorrow
  appetkov you may need a bit more time for that
  appetkov but yes, it works
  <--| benguela has left GeoServer
  gawaine appetkov: I need to show a demo with some data catched from postgis and a 2d raster, all with the wfs-t
  jdeolive i tried to compile it today and it failed
  jdeolive but alex here can better comment
  appetkov i am not understanding the raster->wfs-t part, sorry
  gawaine ok, yes, "mvn install" aborts with several errors
  appetkov I will check--there was that "beta" dependency from a few days ago...
  gawaine java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The provided format image/png is not the same as expected: image/gif
  appetkov hehe, skip the test :slight_smile:
  gawaine appetkov: how ? I don't know much about mvn
  appetkov one sec....
  appetkov mvn -Dmaven.test.skip clean install
  appetkov so, you want to demo (show) data from postgis and a 2d raster, correct?
  gawaine appetkov: correct
  appetkov ie, you are not looking to modify the raster using a wfs-t (because the raster is not a featureType), correct?
  gawaine appetkov: correct
  appetkov OK then, it is possible
  gawaine wonderful :smiley:
  appetkov time may be a factor, az you said you need it tomorrow and is now late in Italy :slight_smile:
  gawaine appetkov: oh, I've time, the project I'm working depends by this demo
  appetkov ok get theh geoserver SVN to compile first
  appetkov (FWIW, it compiled here...)
  gawaine ok "mvn -Dmaven.test.skip clean install" returns a BUILD SUCCESFUL
  appetkov change to the web subdirectory
  gawaine done
  appetkov then you can run it with "
  appetkov mvn -e jetty6:run
  appetkov it will probably throw an error
  gawaine at the moment, it's downloading... mvn downloads ever
  appetkov are you running it with java 1.4?
  gawaine appetkov: no, java 5
  appetkov well, what version of java do you have instaled?
  appetkov OK thanks
  appetkov does it have JAI, and imageIO?
  gawaine yes
  appetkov OK it should work fine then
  appetkov (it really needs to work with java 1.4 to begin with...)
  gawaine while it downloads, this command starts geoserver or deploy it ?
  appetkov it will start geoserver , using the jetty plugin for maven2
  appetkov after that first time, given that everyting works OK, you will start it with "mvn -e jetty6:run-exploded" so you configuration persists
  gawaine appetkov: mapbuilder is included ?
  appetkov i think so, i dont quite remember
  gawaine wonderful, yes, it's included
  appetkov looks like it started fine
  gawaine appetkov: do you know what formats are supported for rasters ?
  appetkov if it did, like I said, use "run-exploded" so any changes you make to the configuration will remain
  appetkov World Image files, GEotiff, among others...
  appetkov there is a list inder "coverage store", it will give you full listing of supported formats
  gawaine thanks a lot :slight_smile:
