https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines need this filled in for
Dec 10th meet)

fundraise for development.
- OSGeo Board has responded positively: Will work with OSGeo to update
downstream GeoTools / GeoServer and related project
- EclipseCon Europe - had a good discussion the "science working group",
and the GeoTrellis lead Rob Emanuele
- The replacement should be a joint LocationTech/OSGeo project.
- Still need a good name for this project (TileProcessingEngine, OpenJI,
OpenTI (for tile imaging, OpenTIP)?
GeoServer Steering Committee

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/psc.html
Jody: Nominate Kevin Smith as a member of the PSC.

Take this to the mailing list.
Pull request/issue discussion
-----------------------------
Already covered:
- GeoTools PR #1030 - check contributor agreement and issue report
- GeoTools PR #1044 (GEOT-5298)
- GeoTools PR #1048 (GEOT-5302) - jody - merge and pick for master
- GEOT-5306 (daniele romagnoli required to review). Torben to take
discussion to email
- GEOS-7270 nodata sections either from reprojection or in image may be
filled in white in WMS. Behaviour varies between GeoTiff and other
formats, and between JAI and JAI-EXT. (Looks like this QA issue in the
JAI-EXT codebase on difference between background color and NO_DATA)
General Discussion:
- Q: Has warning "no a support forum" helped with useless bug reports for
Geoserver? A: Yes it has helped.
- Q: Should we do the same for GeoTools? A: Not needed as the audience is
developers
- Kevin: GeoTools / GeoServer - change from snapshot to main (to prevent
HTTP 409). Action: Kevin will prepare pull request.
- Rate of pull requests has increased Andrea is unable to keep up. Jody and
Ian have volunteer to help review.
Discussion of error reporting (strip out frameworks from stack trace?
Perhaps a bad idea).
