GSIP pull request handling
--------------------------

- Email from Andrea
https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/35270220/

Andrea's Proposal:

In the GeoServer history something deemed worthy of a GSIP has been 
going though the following steps:
     * Open discussion against a written proposal and vote
     * Actual code development (could start earlier, but at the risk of 
the one proposing the GSIP)
     * Pull request and review (because accepting a plan does not equate 
accepting its implementation)
The first step has some wait time to allow the PSC to review the 
proposal, it's now set to 1 week. The last one, never had a max time to 
be performed, but people knew and respected the key developers in the 
area and allowed a bit of time for changes to be reviewed (the longer, 
the bigger the pull request was, with some consideration about avoiding 
too large pull requests at all costs, given review is not paid).

- Proposes one week before merging, extra week on request
- We are behind on pull requests review applies to all pull requests; 
not specifically an issue to GSIP
- GSIP and pull requests orthogonal
- The proposal from Andrea is similar to how GeoTools functions, ie a 
timebox so proposals are not held up due to lack of volunteers.
- We have some kind of trouble here, not sure what to do about it
- Suggestion: Include interested parties in the tasks section who wish 
to review. As per geotools proposal process "tasks" section.
- GSIP acceptance criteria? Ben clarified ... from developers guide
- So GSIP-149 was "accepted" three weeks ago
- Suggestion: Add an "accepted" tickbox to the GSIP template :)

FOSS4G Prep
-----------

- geotools intro workshop - Jody, Devon meeting this afternoon
- geotools datastore workshop - meeting with Ian, Jody, Torben tomorrow
- geoserver style workshop - Kevin, Torben meeting this afternoon. 
Milestone when complete, see above
- state of geoserver presentation - in google docs, content with Jody, 
Andrea, share with rest of PSC for review/content
- pre-sprint: Some sld/qgis discussion, lack of resources. Also consider 
stream discussion
- post-sprint: Java 9 upgrade

Pull Requests
-------------

Focus on milestone

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1643 GDAL Binding
- waiting on review from module maintainer
- Do not package outdated gdal-bindings jar

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1624 vector tiles
- Dave volunteered as module maintainer, should be able to review

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1689 Add REST entry point to 
GeoFence
- [GEOS-7647] waiting module maintainer to review?
- waiting 20 days

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1701 OL3 Preview wraps tiled 
layers
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1702 OL3 Preview wraps tiled 
layers, using OL3 internal srs
- Two solutions for [GEOS-7272] which one would you like to use?
- Who would like to make the decision? Torben likes 1702 better, relies 
on OL3 projection support, so a bit of caution warranted in case OL3 
does not support a projection that we are using.
- Other approach marks layer global
- both have been reviewed we just need a decision
- action: talk to Andreas from OL3 project for clarification

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1724 Wfs-ng backwards 
compatibility test
- blocked on wfs-ng fixes on geotools?

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1757 Remove unnecessary 
directory creation (legacy code from before resour…
- makes sense, not sure how to do a pull request for this

GeoTools
- wfs-ng pull requests
- geopackage fix from Ian
- image mosaic refactor is still in progress
- https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1254 URL encoder filter 
function; a bit surprised this cannot be done already?
- https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1240 imagemosaic-jdbc 
bugfixes; not sure we have an active maintainer here?
