Incubation Update

  • Our OSGeo community outreach to projects is going well
  • Our incubation process is still stalling out and we may need to come up with a plan for projects that are not progressing
  • As for making incubation worthwhile, projects get recognition and importantly a committee with budget (with project officer for independent activity)

  • Loader: https://github.com/AstunTechnology/Loader
  • Action 3: Jody to write news item [2]

Java 2018 Code Sprint results

  • Successful for GeoServer - the project can now run under Java 11
  • More difficult / distruptive for GeoTools, but we met our sprint goals about half a week later
  • For GeoNetwork it was interesting and slow. In the end we got some pushes in GeoNetwork and advanced, but we are still veeeeeeeeeery far away of Java 11
  • The event *did* get sponsorship, but only the week before, or even during the event.
  • Discussion about code sprints being hosted by osgeo, or osgeo just sponsoring.
  • The event has "made money" for the code sprint program. A big thank you to sponsors, and to OSGeo for hosting.
  • For 2019 we have the next sprint coming: https://www.osgeo.org/events/osgeo-community-sprint-2019/

2019 Budget planning, starting the call out to committees

  • Jody would like to collect an interested group to lead the call out to committee chairs; we used a spreadsheet last time and collected the result in the wiki.
