Build issues
See email “Our build tests memory filled by finalizers”:
-
andrea drive the build over the cliff
-
PDF output test → iText allocates 30 MBs fonts triggering finalizers
breaking build. Building faster than we can clean up (wow!)
-
JVM design problem
-
Increase heap 512 → 768 :(
-
Can we replace iText?
-
I thought new versions had license conflict… it does
-
two libraries available, we would need to make our own graphics2d
implementation. So sponsorship needed
-
Can we use less objects with finalizers …
-
JVM objects we cannot avoid
-
MapContext - we could turn that off
Thanks for digging into this Andrea.
Sprint planning / sponsorship updates
Thanks to Gaia3d for gold sponsorship, we still need to gather more
sponsors.
We need to book flights this week before flights go up, how can we best
organize this?
-
jody: put a call out on geoserver-devel? Or contact participants
directly …
Open questions about accommodation? Simone due to check and
Open questions about the train? Simone was going to check.
-
Pisa: Cars :)

Florence: 30E
Cars:
-
Rent a car?
-
Car pool with GeoSolutions staff? We are looking for around 10 people
REST doc generation
Jody took the rough outline from OSGeo wiki to GeoServer wiki for
details/planning.
Planning taking place here:
-
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/REST-API-Refresh
Doc generation seems to have the most response. Jody does not care too much
…
-
Q: how to hook into build?
-
Q: will annotations be around/supported for five years?
-
Q: RAML? What is it …
-
markup for declaring api
-
tedious/verbose to write
-
markup is stable once written
-
what does it do? Nothing on its own .. use:
-
community generators for web page / api docs
-
need to talk to Matt K on email list
Goals:
-
spring mvc reference/example
-
code example for Spring MVC Style endpoint
-
docs
-
code example for annotations (or yaml) for docs
-
code example for rest api tutorial
Action:
-
Jody continue with REST API Refresh
-
Reggie talk to Matt K on email list about RAML.
