The List

General Stuff

Tutorials for the website
When are we going to release 2.1. Steps remaining before we can
SpGist -- when is that going to happen will make cut for 2.1 or push to 2.2
How best to integrate Oslandia 3D work, concerns etc.
1. Exact Geometry support
2. Reference Geometry support
3. (SF)CGAL
Google SoC 2013
Regression suites (performance, valgrind?)

Geocoding specific stuff

pgRouting

Packaging pgRouting for windows to be availabe in stack builder along side PostGIS
Discussion of how pgRouting / PostGIS can better work together and melding the two projects
Side note both Oslandia 3D work and pgRouting both use CGAL, possible opportunity/concern there ?
1. pgRouting is looking into the possibility of drop CGAL and GAUL dependency to simplify builds
pgRouting 2.0 release (working on building that plan now)

Assigned task

Ticket review (Pierre, Bborie & Regina)
Raster WKB version 1 format to address shortcomings of version 0 related to out-db rasters (Bborie)
Performance of expression-based mapalgebra (Bborie)
ST_CreateOverviews(David)
Discuss ST_SetZFromRaster(geometry, raster, band) (what about a vertex iterator similar to ST_MapAlgebraFct) - Need a ST_UnDump() so we can call a custom Pplpgsql function. (Stephen M.)
Discuss "PostGIS Add-ons". will be an agile (quick and frequent release) plpgsql only .sql file for fast release of users contributions. Version number will be based on minimal dependent PostGIS number. e.g. 2.1.99. (Pierre)
QGIS - good support for large coverage (overviews, irregularly tiled coverage), import export. What need to be enhanced? (Rob, Pierre, Stephen M.)

Not yet assigned

Test performance of ST_Union() when number of pixel increase
Define another (faster?) way to rasterize a vector coverage with ST_MakeEmptyTiledCovererage(), ST_BurnToRaster(geometry, raster) & ST_UnionToRaster()
Discuss a more flexible way to rasterize a vector coverage using ST_MapAlgebraFct()
Raster using pthreads in the future?
Rewrite parts of raster2pgsql
pgsql2raster prototype?
Discuss interpolation - from some point, from millions of points
Test regular blocking constraint
Discuss viewshed
ST_SplitToGrid(geometry, x, y)
Discuss integration of raster2pgsql into the GUI
