Quick QA updates (XML, PMD)
https://code.revelc.net/formatter-maven-plugin/ not crashing anymore,
but ignores the config file since it’s not triggering the initialize phase
in maven.
Acegi to support preserving white lines:
https://github.com/acegi/xml-format-maven-plugin/pull/31
Will follow this up and complete the PR.
New PMD check: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/3193
Upcoming activities
To consider:
-
Plan a CITE Sprint for GeoServer Team!
-
Avoid July / August 
-
Consider sponsorship possibilities
-
Consider spreading it over a few weeks
-
Each Friday in may? One or two days at a time? Something ...
-
This would make it easier to invite OGC Team Engine?
-
26-28 May 2021,OGC API Sprint inviting teams to participate in May
(Maps, Tiles, and Styles)

Funding
Saw this in PMD: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/3214 (but we have OSGeo
and it does not take a cut)
-
https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective
-
FUNDING.yml only has built in support for a frew funding models (all
of which that show up clearly)
FUNDING.yml shows up:
-
https://github.com/sponsors/OSGeo ← monthly sponsorship
Shows up on your github profile:
Our sponsorship page should be up to date with these details.
Q: How to sponsor specific features?
Example:
“Would be nice to have some kind of 'crowdfund' site, in which users
could throw money at certain (smaller) features...
cc Kartoza/Tim Sutton, maybe it is an idea to put this in the 'projecta'
project [0]
Though I realize that pushing smaller amounts of money over the world is
not that easy…”
Presently we have done this a couple ways:
1.
Start fundraising, and issue a request for proposal (as was done for
CITE)
This started with an individual.
2.
Start with idea, pitch idea to PSC (as was done for windows installer)
This started with a company.
QGIS has had some kind of campaigns
https://north-road.com/qgis-data-plotly-campaign/
3d: https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/more-qgis-3d/
Other examples:
-
Bug fix bounties
-
Propose roadmap features for fundraising
