Dual-License Request
Apache wondering why OSGeo exists in the first place.
Author can do whatever it wants with the code… not clear of whether re-assign copyright though is allowed
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Dual+License+Request Proposal withdrawn anyway.
Jody made contact with sis-dev to avoid communication troubles, a couple of ideas have been floated including a) OSGeo providing a code grant b) geotools signing an agreement
Upcoming Board Meeting
The GeoTools PMC processes and impartialty has been brought into question, it would like ensure a member of the GeoTools PMC is present to answer any questions on process.
Jody is unable to attend board meetings at that hour, offered to step down if needed.
Significant miscommunication going on, slowness to answer (busy with work, vacation time) mistaken for a deadlock, try participating to the OSGeo board meeting.
Concerns:
- board is obliged to act in consultation with the project steering committee
- PMC followed formal change request procedure, request has subsequently been withdrawn
- check if a complaint has been made
Action:
- Andrea may be able to go?
GeoServer PSC Refresh
Looked into obtaining PSC representation from the active user community.
Phil Scadden has publically nominated himself.
One private enquiry.
Not enough members in this meeting to proceed.
Mark Leslie has stepped down.
ACTION: review list of PSC members and update by removing members who have stepped down or been declared inactive.
Security in GeoServer 2.2.x
Release blocker for 2.2? Or strongly worded release notes …
Default to admin password?
Reshape/Transform module in GeoTools
Some coordinate with uDig required as this is live code; but sounds great! Is collecting support on email list. Anything more to discuss?
GeoTools 8 Release
No status update, still in holding pattern.
Reshape stuff
Good.
Catchup
- https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1
- outstanding jira patch
- review time boxed release cycle
GeoServer Patch Party
- GEOS-5148 Support 3D WFS Bounding Box
- the accessor methods are deprecated, use the literal for the real ReferencedEnvelope (3D or 2D)
Concern: other projects are more responsive to users/contributors, this might contribute to the impression that we are “deadlocked”: find ways to be more responsive?
