Actions
- [image]Check on the “GSIP 233 - community release” proposal and see if passed.
jody: Take an action to reword “commuityRelease” as a new option, rather than a reduction of the modules qualifying for nightly build. - [image]Torben: Download NGINX access logs, provide to Peter to extract community module stats
CITE tests, OGC API Tiles and certification
Peter has heard back from OSGeo, we are waiting on OGC process:
- 11 days ago certification submitted
- no feedback from OGC yet
Andrea:
- PR for OGC API Tiles!
- Won’t work on production version of engine, but this is fixed on the beta
- Community module, so not in position to certify for real yet?
- We can still submit , with disclaimer about beta used for testing
- OGCAPI Process - going to be a while
- two reference implementations are the same one working around bugs
- echo process used for certification
GSIP 233 - community release
No voting since this proposal was revised for feedback - Jody will make a new thread
Move list of candidates to appendix at the end, so that casual readers won’t take this as a firm commitment.
Further discussion on what merits a community release - proposal includes a higher threshold of requirements for publishing as part of the communityRelease build
- Raises the barrier to entry for publishing WIP modules too high
- However, we also have modules that have been sitting in communityRelease state for years with no active development (but often still a small number of users)
- There’s also a persistent issue of (potential) users complaining about the inaccessibility of these modules and wasting community members time
Q: Do we have download stats for community modules?
we may be able to parse nginx access logs
Action: Torben to download, and provide to Peter

Java 17 incoming
The PRs are ready:
- Can we merge now
- Found some issues with formatting (app-schema integration test modules not in release / communityRelease and were missed
OAuth2 PR merge?
Lets try and get this merged before Java 17 changes come through, to avoid merge conflicts.
- Need an approval, Alessio will check!
- We can do API changes and so on after merged
- Cecile was testing Keycloak and current extension
That is very interesting graph:
- 80.121.204.253: Bernegger GmbH, Austria / Deutsche Telekom AG address space
- 4.228.124.71: Microsoft Datacenter Brazil São Paulo
- 4.228.128.195: Microsoft Datacenter Brazil São Paulo
- 201.55.6.213: CIA Proc. de Dados do Estado de S Paulo - PRODESP, Brazil
- 218.234.104.56: SK Broadband Co Ltd, Korea
And as expected OIDC is the most popular community module, was surprised to see MongoDB placing second.
