OSGeo Project reviews

• GeoNetwork review postponed to next meeting.

• FDO did not reply

• PostGIS represented by Regina Obe:

PostGIS is planning a code sprint in late September and will use our $2000 budget for that. https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/PostGISCodeSprint2018. Discussion about PostGIS attending the main OSGeo Code Sprint in 2019. PostGIS PSC does not have meetings, they are always in constant communication via IRC or PostGIS development so never really had a need for a meeting. PostGIS project seems healthy and functioning properly.

• OpenLayers could not attend the meeting but they provided the report as slides in the slideshow from 2017 AGM.
