Intend to update library for Java 8 syntax. - Status endpoint is collecting more and more sanity checks (expect GUI during 2.10.x timeframe?) https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-4585 https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7567 - ImageMosaic api refactor ongoing - VectorTiles documentation OSGeo update ------------ Board has been informed of new GeoServer project officer. Board approved asking for legal advice on GeoTools header policy. Ben/Jody are working with Michael Smith on this one.... OSGeo Marketing committee has asked how they can help: - GeoTools: Encourage committers, always encourage committers - GeoServer: Encourage participation, testing, updated handouts? General discussion on where we get new developers? From companies/organizations, submitting a few pull requests, ... How can we be more sticky as a community? Our "community" modules is one attempt on this front, not so useful now with github. Our pull reviews can be ... harsh "no discussion, no jira, no party" (but more directed at longstanding developers cutting corners). We do a better job meeting new developers half way, but time is limited. Can be intimidating to find a good test case example to copy from; perhaps we can make a short list. Predictable release tick/tock between stable/maintenance helps attract contributions (if not volunteers). As does our open process. Larger proposals get stuck in review, try many small proposals. Upgrade to NetCDF-Java 4.6.6 ---------------------------- Targeting 2.9.x backport for July 2.9.1 release. [GEOT-5434] Upgrade to NetCDF-Java 4.6.6 https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-5434 ImageMosaic refactoring part 1 ------------------------------ https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Refactor-ImageMosaic-Index-and-Catalog-management-for-improved-extensibility Should add Ben's summary to the docs: proposal provides why, pull request provides what. Notes: - This is a smaller proposal easier to follow - The last section has gone beyond strict API interface change and has a fair bit of discussion (is this needed?) - Needs links to Jira and mailing list discussions Pull requests Roundup --------------------- - Many pull requests were reviewed, and some merged -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <b...@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
