Quick QA updates (XML, PMD)

https://code.revelc.net/formatter-maven-plugin/ not crashing anymore, but
ignores the config file since it’s not triggering the initialize phase in
maven.

Acegi to support preserving white lines:
https://github.com/acegi/xml-format-maven-plugin/pull/31

Will follow this up and complete the PR.

New PMD check: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/3193

Upcoming activities

To consider:

   -

   Plan a CITE Sprint for GeoServer Team!
   -

      Avoid July / August :)
      -

      Consider sponsorship possibilities
      -

      Consider spreading it over a few weeks
      -

         Each Friday in may? One or two days at a time? Something ...
         -

         This would make it easier to invite OGC Team Engine?
         -

   26-28 May 2021,OGC API Sprint inviting teams to participate in May
   (Maps, Tiles, and Styles)
   -

Funding

Saw this in PMD: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/3214 (but we have OSGeo
and it does not take a cut)


   -

   https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective
   -

   FUNDING.yml only has built in support for a frew funding models (all of
   which that show up clearly)


FUNDING.yml shows up:


   -

   https://github.com/sponsors/OSGeo ← monthly sponsorship


Shows up on your github profile:


Our sponsorship page should be up to date with these details.

Q: How to sponsor specific features?

Example:

“Would be nice to have some kind of 'crowdfund' site, in which users could
throw money at certain (smaller) features...

cc Kartoza/Tim Sutton, maybe it is an idea to put this in the 'projecta'
project [0]

Though I realize that pushing smaller amounts of money over the world is
not that easy…”

Presently we have done this a couple ways:

   1.

   Start fundraising, and issue a request for proposal (as was done for
   CITE)
   This started with an individual.
   2.

   Start with idea, pitch idea to PSC (as was done for windows installer)
   This started with a company.


QGIS has had some kind of campaigns
https://north-road.com/qgis-data-plotly-campaign/
3d: https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/more-qgis-3d/


Other examples:

   -

   Bug fix bounties
   -

   Propose roadmap features for fundraising
