| | 27 | == Minutes == |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | * Decide a fixed day and hour for PSC meetings |
| | 30 | * We agreed on the second Friday every 3 months at 15:00 UTC (For local times reference, see: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=11&month=2&year=2022&p1=207&p2=51&p3=48&p4=25&p5=197&iv=0). |
| | 31 | * Vero sends the calendar invite. |
| | 32 | * GRASS GIS 8 release schedule |
| | 33 | * We went through blocker pull request to understand what is still missing. |
| | 34 | * Vaclav offered to create the grass8 release branch on that day (done!). |
| | 35 | * We discussed what to do with i.band and g.bands modules and proposed different optional names more consistent with the new and broader semantic label concept that will now replace band reference. These modules will in any case be marked as experimental (with a sentence in the Description section of the manual page). |
| | 36 | * Martin will work on the temporal framework backward compatibility (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1454). |
| | 37 | * Windows daily builds do not work (last build was on Oct 13, 2021). Martin will study this problem to fix it. |
| | 38 | * GRASS 8 RC1 release was agreed for December 10th. Martin will do this with Markus' and Vero's assistance. |
| | 39 | * GRASS plugin in QGIS |
| | 40 | * We do not have manpower as to support it, so we are fine with QGIS dropping it as long as GRASS tools are available through Processing Toolbox. We better focus some effort in the latter. |
| | 41 | * Budget |
| | 42 | * We have around 4k |
| | 43 | * We discussed what to do with it as we didn't have community sprints for almost 2 years now. |
| | 44 | * We agreed to offer student fellowships with eligibility criteria similar to GSoC. Moritz prepared a draft of the call here: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Student_Grants |
| | 45 | * Presence in social media |
| | 46 | * We brainstormed ideas for upcoming weeks: promote mailing lists, github discussions, NCSU courses, r.in.usgs updates, etc. |
| | 47 | * Vero will add old and new ideas to this wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/PSC/Marketing |
| | 48 | * rgrass8 |
| | 49 | * Vero will try to set up a meeting with Roger and 2 devs interested in contributing. |
| | 50 | * Website |
| | 51 | * Helena suggested to include a link to Github discussions in the Development page. We also agreed to include this in the community page. |
| | 52 | * Markus suggested to give more visibility to the community page and create a new menu item of it. |
| | 53 | * RFC about Python version |
| | 54 | * we did not discussed this |
