GSIP 111
--------

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+111+GetLegendGraphicsRequest+Cleanup

This is just a quick API change :)

Q: Do we need a proposal for something this small?
A: Not really ... only care if you break extension points

Q: Any volunteers to review newbie wicket code?
A: TBD

FOSS4G Presentations
--------------------

Just a reminder :) See https://2014.foss4g.org

gt-wfs-ng
---------

- Niels working on transactions
- Rini merged much of Adam Brown's code, has a pull request

WFS/FES SWG report
------------------

WFS 2.0.1 has been approved by committee vote. WFS/FES 2.x (either 2.1 or 3.0) 
expected by September; includes new REST API.

See presentation by Peter Vretanos to OGC TC:
http://files.ivec.org/siss/wfs-fes-swg/20140326_WFS_SWG_Minutes.pdf

See also presentation by Jeff Harrison at the end on WFS REST + GeoJSON.

WFS requires strict CRS conversion (ie feature with two geometries from 
different CRSs). This is being relaxed a bit in 2.0.1.

Small changes in WFS 1.1 to fix CRS handling (backport of srs name standards) - 
like we do already.

Should be nothing dramatic for GeoServer :) There are some new REST stuff.

Ben would like a sanity check from Justin. Andrea has provided some feedback on 
REST API and GeoJSON.

Java 7
------

Jody thinks we should do this, as security updates no longer provided for Java 
6.

What is needed:

1) Test GeoTools
- OpenJDK
- OracleJDK
2) Test GeoServer
- OpenJDK
- OracleJDK
3) Update build server(s)
- only master branches
4) Update the GeoTools developers guide
5) Update the GeoServer developers Guide

Note:
- Keep Java 7 syntax to a minimum for anything you want to backport!

Q: Proposal? Or email discussion.
A: Need to write one ...

Benfits:
- FileWatcher
- Less version hell for new developers

General Chatter
---------------

ResourceEvents pull request still pending.

Build stability:
* thanks for kicking mbtiles and geopackage out of the build :)
* https repo is still an issue for mac osx 10.9.

Q: Handling of old Open Tickets?
A: Code sprint now and then is our current approach

Thanks to Jukka for verifying issues!

Q: Is it worth closing old feature requests?
A: Nope leave them in the mix, close if they can no longer be implemented
