GeoTools workshop; similar content to last year; this time the documentation is done in Sphinx (CSS skills permitting). Thus far transferring the content has gone smoothly and Mark has been helping with the styling and generation of PDF. I have visited Michael to work on materials and cleaning up MapContext; and so far Andrea has been very patient and helpful with reviews. I pestered a few people such as yourself to see if you wanted any proposals in this year; and it has been pretty productive. Roadmap has been: May 2.7-M0 - release a milestone to ensure the library is in releasable state; report any problems to geotools-devel - image-moasic did not pass extensive tests June 2.7-M1 - release a milestone to cover any api change resulting from covering the review of map+style layer of the library - image-moasic did not pass extensive tests July 5th 2.7-RC1 - printing deadline for course materials - release candidate matching course materials > What are the impacts on you if we do not have an RC? Are these manageable? The only impact is on of appearance; students may feel they are being short changed if they are paying for a course that is making use of a milestone release. Indeed if internet access is good enough to support maven I could take a risk and print the course material listing 2.7.0 as the version number.. For this to work we would have to be careful to limit any changes that would effect the code examples. In this sense this weekend represents a release candidate for me; With that in mind I am treating this as a Release Candidate). FOSS4G is earlier this year; this Monday is the printing deadline; this is generally how we roll.
