It's empty. * PRs: * Too many open PRs, this is not motivating for newcomers that invest time in creating the PRs. * Martin did a comprehensive analysis of open PRs status in this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X65Ms9qUsXlI2hL1421MgnGMA3ewdXG2QNTrr-Czl_g/edit?usp=sharing doc] * We discussed the need to set up some rules to deal with open PRs while maintaining code quality, eg. if you create a PR and have writing access to the repo, you are automatically responsible for that PR, if you get an approval and no request for changes, go ahead and merge; for those without writing access, we should split topics, and take care of reviews or assign reviewers, set a period to wait for a response from PR author to merge or close the PR, etc. * **All: think and write up rules for managing PRs in this [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/3235 issue].** * Location --> Project: * Send executive summary of Vashek’s location document to mailing list and link the full thing to get more feedback. * Swag shop: * Red bubble: base price does not include their fees, it helps with marketing, people can search keywords and they are offered options. * Smtg with spring: easier pricing system, but no way people can reach your store with keywords: https://my-store-9f5dbe.creator-spring.com/listing/gdal * https://qgis.myspreadshop.net/ * Vero: Check with Ariel what they used for FOSS4G 2021, since RB does not deliver to South America. * They used different options (https://2021.foss4g.org/attending/merchandise.html): FlashCookie (Only Argentina), RedBubble and CafePress (most of the world). * Try to set up a store. * Extras: * grasswiki authentication: Anna pinged Regina and Vicky in the [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2966 SAC-trac ticket]. * mainly working now (on staging server) * mailman issue: postponed, more context needed. * Create a news item with GRASS yearly recap and do a end of year virtual toast as the last couple of years.
