No status update since January wicket: - Upgrade to Wicket 9 can happen now no need to wait… - Brad has made a lot of progress towards Wicket 9 - GeoCat will offer in-kind A/B testing which we understand is needed - Open: Brad asked for assistance with the WicketDialog rewrite - Or can just suppress its deprecation for Wicket 9, and do the work for Wicket 10… - Q: Is anyone available to organize / plan with respect to the release cycle? - Andrea prefers to merge close to September (to avoid extra backport overhead…) - Andrea has been keeping this up to date with main ImageN: - Java 17 is upset running JAI due to javax package - This is also something that can be worked on now, no need to wait .. - In-kind thus far: - GeoCat is interested in this one also, provided it is a good time - Andrea made some roadmap planning ideas on JAI-EXT Q: Mass reformat with Palantir? - Still a good idea, wait until after Wicket upgrade :D Q: What about discourse? https://discourse.staging.osgeo.org/c/geoserver-users/12 - testing… - nice it works with OSGeo User ID - OSGeo user ID login did not work for Peter - nice it works with GitHub - feedback - modern / looks / better - alternative: - github discussions is okay, with any discussions occurring closer to development. May be a good replacement for geoserver-devel … Discussion: how to replace the email list? - email subscribers switch from sourceforge to discourse - get a feed of emails similar to mailman, and an address to reply to … - not sure we can test this on staging? It was disabled … What can we expected: - Does not really help with engagement, but helps lower a barrier to partipation - OSM took about a month to make the transition: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2024-March/date.html SAC joins the chat - They could set up a mirror from sourceforge … - Setup an email address and subscribe it to sourceforge… - Send email to discourse and it would not send to sourceforge… - Q: How do they sign up discourse geoserver-users? - 1. Setup a “geoserver-users” group - 2. Allow users to join freely … - 3. The group is https://discourse.staging.osgeo.org/g/geoserver-users - 4. Associate a user geoserver-us...@osgeo.org with the group, so that email sent to this address is added to the discourse group Actions: Make a proposal? - Define a date to shut off geoserver-us...@sourceforge.net email list? - Setup production geoserver-us...@discourse.osgeo.org - Keep both running for a month, use this as an oppertunity to remind people to transition … - Collect a mailman dump for the month of overlap, and re-update discouse - Shut off source forge How to transition as an individual: 1.
