Agenda

The topics proposed were:

  • Voting on RFC that are in draft mode - Please have a look at these 3 in advance: 0, 1 and 2. With great pleasure I've followed the issues and PRs about releasing procedures and version numbering/naming, so I believe it's time we discuss (and ideally vote) on those.
  • Upcoming releases
  • FOSS4G 2022
  • GSoC 2022
  • Results of student grants and setting a date for the next call
  • Michael Smith news about sponsoring and Opencollective - follow up on previous meeting
  • rgrass(7): follow up on previous meeting

Minutes

  • Draft RFCs:
    • We are good with the one about Python
    • Releases:
      • Shall we keep the RCs system when all changes go through PRs?
      • Shall we try to form a testing group of students (many of us do not find the bugs that users do)? This would require a proper guideline to test. We are thinking mostly about testing if binaries actually work in different environments.
      • Make 2nd RC optional?
      • Freeze makes more sense for branching, and esp. for major and minor versions, but not for micro releases which are by definition only fixes.
      • Soft freeze = feature freeze, no more new features. Hard freeze = code freeze, no more changes and tag the release.
      • Anna and Vashek simplify/rewrite RFC 4.
    • Version numbering:
      • Start using all the numbers (odd and even) for releases.
      • Vashek will update the RFC and initiate the motion
  • Move trac RFCs to github to keep all of them in on place (Anna?), we tag them for discussion and then create motions via email to vote.
  • GSoC 2022: No students for this year
  • Results about student grants: Vashek commented that Caitlin was very happy with it. GSoC finishes in August, so after that would be a good timing.
  • Vero commented on the follow ups
    • no contracts needed for sponsors, so green light to create different types/categories of sponsors
    • Updates about rgrass
  • Releases:
    • 7.8.8 in the pipeline
    • 8.0.2 is out
    • 8.2.0 due by 5 days, but there's the leaflet bug which seems a major showstopper.
  • Weblate vs Transifex
    • weblate automatically creates PRs so we prefer it
    • send out a call to translators to move to weblate (Huidae)
  • GRASS in Windows:
    • Status of PDAL and openMP support in Windows
