GSIP for the delay? It has been voted on the list already, just a matter of paperwork really. * https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Spring-4-Upgrade This "motion" had 100% approval from PSC - thanks for the rapid response. Update release schedule: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Release-Schedule Q: do we want another 2.7.x maintenance release? A: if there is interest Commits on 2.7.x shows six references to tickets. Reports of missing JTS jars for 15-beta and 14.x releases might need to be checked on 13.x as well: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Can-something-be-done-about-missing-jt-jars-in-bin-distro-of-15-beta-Also-td5255148.html - Next release will be 2.9, followed by 2.10 - What would be worth a GeoServer 3.0?: UI/catalog/API breaking changes Spring 4 upgrade progress ------------------------- See devel mailing list GSIP 141 - Change GSIP voting rules from majority to three positive votes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Ben to update GSIP 141 to incorporate proposed improvements. https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-141 http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GSIP-141-Change-GSIP-voting-rules-from-majority-to-three-positive-votes-td5255144.html - This is the same communicate-first as earlier discussion: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Pull-request-review-guide GeoServer Discussion: - PSC responsible for maintaining core and need some way of regulating content. - Ignored proposals should not be accepted. - Pull requests abandoned by proposers are also a problem. - Huge pull requests before discussion are an additional problem. - Problem of late discovery of API change needed for huge pull request. - How about a percentage of the PSC? 30% of +1 votes: ceil(0.3*size(psc)) - Jody has horrific alternative from OSGeo board - Stagnation problem - Support for PSC member requiring additional one week delay - With GitHub, commit access is no longer as important. GeoTools Discussion: - 3 day for svn access :) --> ask for a feature branch on the central github. - 10 days and your are approved --> do we switch to quorum? no quorum, no party. Jody is hesitant on switching to "30% positives/50% quorum/no -1" as GeoTools PMC is less responsive. Quorum is taken as 100% active as PMC members are automagically retired :D For a serious formula, see here: http://mathb.in/53467 or http://mathb.in/53468 Discussion ---------- - The release model was discussed, including long term releases, and some users complaining about the maintenance branch changing too quickly. - Funding models - The distribution of donations for Linux Mint: many small donations - PSC is a subcommittee of OSGeo and is responsible for making expenditure decisions -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <b...@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
