Alternating meeting times to foster participation?
Idea: rotating times
- one that has Europe and Australia
- (after two weeks) one that has Australia and North America
- (after two weeks) one that has North America and Europe
Or else, simpler (Jody likes this one):
- one that has Europe and Australia
- (after two weeks) one that has North America and Europe
That would help if Justin wants to participate.
Also, potential window to get everybody in at 9pm Rome… but Ben would have to get up at 4am!!!

Test, test, test!
Q: License?

Release plan missing two release managers
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoTools+and+GeoServer+release+schedule
2.5-RC2: missing (we might have to skip it?)
2.4.5: missing
New time boxed proposal
JG: Write up Proposal/GSIP
Please add some more layouts to think about 
Jukka: add a feature table to compare the 3 “maintainer” versions
Jody: likes the “new release” one because of simplificy
CITE for WFS 2.0
Half an answer from Andrea:
- three weekends work, but encountered CITE test bugs
- Andrea believes it needs new CITE engine, must upgrade all
- can pass with noncompliant code
- someone also has to pay for the “official seal”, maybe we can get help from OSGeo
- some bugs fixed, moving target
DataURL for WMS 1.3
Submitted feature request in Jira, waiting mailing list contact from BGS who are now willing to implement
Managed File API

Andrea: Files being watched? Jody: lastModified flag, triggers unpack of new copy
Andrea: database trigger?
Jukka: roll-back on failure?
Jody: possible to implement
Andrea: database backups
Jody: some modules have log files, might be hard to ignore things like log files, GWC cache files
Andrea: migration path? from existing working directory
Jody: handcrafted files detected and automatically replicated
Jody: proposal for review soon
Workspace specific config makes trouble for some users
Style issues: global GetCapabilities contains invalid style reference
Service config issues (WPS)
WFS: geoserver/wfs works for some feature types, others need geoserver/workspace/wfs
Layer group issues too (not 100% sure)
