GS3 Updates

Gauge is updating, please share as we seek to reach more organizations!

Discussion about the amount of work?

Yes that is one of the questions, this is similar to running 4-5 sprints at the same time
Wicket 7 example example was a 50k activity (10k funding, 40k inkind). Done really cheaply with inkind covering travel, venue, accommodation, …
The Restlet change was also a very big expense

Target date?

The answer is no, because it is phase 1 pledge, only when the target is reached would invoice and work start
The other date is “when spring-framework 5.3” reaches end of life? But that already passed in August. We planned for end of year but they provided an updated time frame!
So this means ASAP, and that we are running some project risk that we are uncomfortable with.
- Join geoserver-security list to help!
- Or setup an spring-framework enterprise contract and custom build for “newer” 5.3 which is not sustainable approach
- We were trying to be proactive about this with roadmap announcement

Make an actual page for GS3, with a FAQ for common questions

action: Jody: we covered a few last meetings, but it is good to write it up.

Gabe with the update:

So far going well, everyone has something to work on, …
There is a planning board for the activity:
OGC API graduation code sprint · GitHub
And a small repo so we can have issues

Things to look forward to:

CQL2 is looking good in geotools land
Jody is working on a Proposal for ogcapi-features to be an extension is the sprint goal
Jody is working on making conformances optional, with a ServiceInfo metadata map entry for each conformance.
- The “sorting” module has a distinct conformance that works with ogcapi-features, you should only turn it on if you want it.
This is the first full review of the ogcapi-core with APIDispatchers, APIService and friends …
Andrea is working on test coverage and pass QA
Gabe working CITE tests, having fun to run locally of course

Thanks to Camptocamp for organizing!

Q: How could we take part?
- This week is a crunch: This was setup on geoserver-devel mailing list, those who took part in the discussion were invited to help out.
- Upcoming please review the proposal and help test!
We also want to distribute the knowledge of how OGCAPI works
- Right now it is in Andrea’s head, or his head from a couple years ago
- Ideally we would like something for the developers guide.
  Similar level of details service annotation, abstract document extension, freemarker templates

We also have a new sponsor:

Marlin! Added to our web page (another open source project which is very nice)
GS3 donations are directed to project sponsorship
GS3 milestone 1 things (wicket, imageN) can they be directed to project sponsorship?

120 characters, looks great!
Spotless can also detect missing headers
- checkstyle is disabled for tests, and some tests are missing headers
- Could use spotless to add missing headers, and then enable checkstyles

Discussion, yes the browser dialog respects this.

But more importantly no ability to save datastore with invalid path.

Chit chat on CVE and recent update questions
