Actions:

  • Jody to update GSIP wiki based on above discussion.
  • Ben to ask Justin about Xerces
  1. Actions from last time

JG: resent mail about project upgrade to GeoTools (done)

  1. GeoTools 9.0-beta1

A couple last minute changes

  • mageMosaic bands and dimension management improvements
  • documentation placeholder for gt-complex (any code example?)
  • promote gt-grid to extension

Release ongoing, produced product zip fails to build (wfs client build failure).

  1. GeoServer 2.3-beta1

Should be straight forward, we handled the outstanding proposals etc…

  1. Remaining Change Requests
  • GSIP 70: what’s up with it? Ask on ml, if nobody answers, kill it
  • GSIP 89 Creative Commons with Attribution (waiting on vote, ben+1) Jukka +1
  • GSIP 81 - GetLegendGraphic as text (JSON)
  • GSIP 83 - REST Extensible and customizable versions report (done, pending backport)
  • GSIP 84 - Control how layer groups are exposed in the WMS capabilities document (done, update wiki!)
  • GSIP 85 - Nested layer groups (done, update wiki!)
  • GSIP 89 Creative Commons with Attribution
  • GSIP 91 - Enhance authentication filter chain configuration (committed too, wiki update?)

Questions:

  • GSIP 76 - Extend REST API to configure settings and OWS services (done! mark completed)
  • Xerces: Did this get a change proposal? (did this happen at all?). Ben & Justin have worked on a branch, no further update. Will it make 2.3? Nope it looks like it will wait for 2.4 …

Action:

  • Jody to update GSIP wiki based on above discussion.
  • Ben to ask Justin about Xerces
  1. Branch for Beta?

Andrea: Yes - marks a feature freeze.
Jody: Round up volunteers first (hudson builds, etc…)
Ben: Branch it!
Andrea: We are one month late on branching (since Dec release was missed)

Fix prior to branch:

  • Headers change to OpenPlans

Action:

  • Andrea to round up volunteers to work on hudson (schedule new targets etc…). Shall we drop 2.1.x
  1. OSGeo Incubation
  • Header change to OpenPlans (justin?)
  • states.shp: Waiting on check for states.shp (agreement USA census data from GeoTools).
  • Tasmania data: Cameron provided a license on Jan 2nd that require license (add to data directory README.RST)
  • GSIP 89 Creative Commons with Attribution (waiting on vote)

Action:

  • Andrea to update README.RST (thanks!)
  • Jody to ask Justin about header (decision was made on email about what to change it to)
  1. Generated/Dynamic Layers

Email discussion covers it, anything to add in the meeting?

Language:

  • dynamic: process is defined or referenced as part of the request (scary from security standpoint). Example: Include GeoScript script as part of WFS Pull Request
  • generated: declare slots up front, and populate them with results of background/scheduled process (or perhaps user interaction). Results in a normal layer that happens to have its data managed behind the scenes. Could have the option to “cache” similar to a materialized view.
  • volatile ← similar to WPS temporary results that evaporate after a set time period (or data volume)
