| 28 | * Fix a day for quarterly PSC meetings to avoid sending a doodle every time |
| 29 | * Since we were few PSC members, we decided to send out the last doodle or email by september with options to set a fixed day and time from now on |
| 30 | * GRASS GIS 8 release schedule |
| 31 | * we are at almost there: g.extension, t.remove, r.in.pdal, simplify band reference management changes are merged. |
| 32 | * we discussed new splash screen; Vero and Vaclav exchanged SVGs to try out other options combining their attempts in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1716 |
| 33 | * temporal framework backward compatibility it is a draft PR (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1454), we have t.upgrade and t.downgrade for the meantime |
| 34 | * ctypesgen PR remains to be solved and merged (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1651) |
| 35 | * integrate band reference into signatures seems to be ready to be merged too (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1501) |
| 36 | * GRASS GIS 7.8.6 release schedule |
| 37 | * with the g.extension fix being merged, we are ready for a RC1 stage |
| 38 | * we need to clarify what needs to be done on the server side regarding new addon's repository structure, so new addons appear online here: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/addons/ |
| 39 | * Sponsoring |
| 40 | * !OpenCollective: |
| 41 | * It is in place (https://opencollective.com/osgeo/projects/grass) and we were granted admin rights to configure style |
| 42 | * However, it seems it does not accept !PayPal, possibilities are only bank transfer or credit card |
| 43 | * Helena will ask the board if that is something that can be configured by OSGeo since they are the fiscal host |
| 44 | * Donations: |
| 45 | * We have received ~2K euro from https://bhinc.com/ |
| 46 | * It was suggested to send a "thank you" email around to all sponsors and donors, while using the chance to promote the !OpenCollective account |
| 47 | * Once the email is out, this might be a new item to promote in social media |
| 48 | * Presence in social media |
| 49 | * create weekly content for twitter especially |
| 50 | * upcoming threads will cover GSoC projects, new addon by Paulo van Breugel, FOSS4G presentations and workshops |
