j

jmckenna

10:01:18

Hi all...

j

jmckenna

10:03:11

hi steve!

j

jmckenna

10:04:53

I'd like to begin the change from shp2img to map2img, and will create a PR soon. (I wanted to mention that here, as that is one of my remaining tasks for the release, one of many ha)\

s

sdlime

10:05:20

fine by me... minor change

j

jmckenna

10:05:41

ok thanks (minor but affects docs etc) I'm on it, ha

s

sdlime

10:06:36

I still have: config file, RFC44 opt in patch, misc ogcapi fixes

j

jmckenna

10:07:03

ok i will also test the config file and OGCAPI updates

s

sdlime

10:07:58

i need to update the config file RFC with MapScript integration (thanks to Seth) and maybe we can get a vote going next week

j

jmckenna

10:08:08

ok thanks

j

jmckenna

10:09:00

Do we keep the feature freeze date of Fri. August 6, 2021 ?

j

jmckenna

10:09:04

it now seems soon

s

sdlime

10:09:20

personally I'd like to see it pushed a week or two

j

jmckenna

10:09:55

I think a month later is realistic

j

jmckenna

10:10:02

if you're ok with that

s

sdlime

10:10:29

how about shooting for 9/1 - nice round number

j

jmckenna

10:10:42

instead of Sept 3 release, it would be something like Oct 1

j

jmckenna

10:10:57

it already was Sept 3 date

j

jmckenna

10:11:14

you mean start release process (feature freeze) on 9/1 ?

s

sdlime

10:11:17

i meant 9/1 for feature freeze

j

jmckenna

10:11:27

ok understood

j

jmckenna

10:11:36

yes that\s more realistic

ⓘ Guest3078 is now known as dmorissette

j

jmckenna

10:12:38

(I was keeping to the Friday schedule, so 9/3 feature freeze, 10/1 release)

sdlime

10:13:26

9/3 is fine too

j

jmckenna

10:13:30

thanks

j

jbo-ads

10:13:38

hi, sorry for being late

j

jmckenna

10:13:45

welcome jerome!

sdlime

10:14:50

10:14:55

* jmckenna agenda, with links to release plan https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/PSC-Meeting-2021-07-29

j

jmckenna

10:15:05

welcome daniel!

d

dmorissette

10:15:42

g'morning. Does this channel still have logs, to read the part that we missed if we joined late?

j

jmckenna

10:16:02

dmorissette I'm doing the minutes now...

d

dmorissette

10:16:14

k

j

jmckenna

10:16:20

and will send out shortly

j

jmckenna

10:19:06

* jmckenna edits release plan with new dates

j

jmckenna

10:23:41

jbo-ads what do you think of planning a MapCache release also for 1st Oct1?

j

jmckenna

10:24:10

I think our last release was 2020-02-24

j

jbo-ads

10:25:09

I think it's a good thing to release MapCache together with MapServer. I just need to find time to handle planned features.

j

jmckenna

10:25:19

ok thanks

j

jmckenna

10:25:37

please use me to help test and document and package

j

jmckenna

10:25:44

if you need

j

jbo-ads

10:26:13

thank you for proposing your help.

j

jmckenna

10:27:59

sdlime I wonder if we should plan for a day or so to work all together on OGCAPI, last tasks

j

jmckenna

10:28:21

it's hard with summer, but I sometimes find that works well

j

jmckenna

10:28:48

if not possible, GitHub is fine

s

sdlime

10:29:02

if I can get a pull request together first then we could do something

j

jmckenna

10:29:20

ok, deal

s

sdlime

10:30:33

i have something started locally and will create a WIP pull request ASAP...

j

jmckenna

10:30:43

nice

j

jmckenna

10:31:53

does anyone object to a proposal to meet monthly (last Thursday of every month, at this exact time, for 1 hour) as a PSC? (this is what other projects do)

j

jmckenna

10:32:08

I'd like to propose this today

s

sdlime

10:32:22

+1 to something regularly scheduled. I have no problem with this day/time...

d

dmorissette

10:32:43

+1 good idea, and this time works for me as well

j

jmckenna

10:33:25

ah thanks guys

j

jbo-ads

10:33:46

+1 as well. A monthly meeting seems nice

j

jmckenna

10:33:52

thanks jerome

s

sdlime

10:34:40

just add to my calendar, so next edition would be 8/26

j

jmckenna

10:35:00

exactly.

* jmckenna spilling coffee last week on my laptop, not good

s

sdlime

10:36:27

sounds like something my 22 y/o daughter would do...

j

jmckenna

10:36:47

yes, that's me ha

s

sdlime

10:37:19

of course she did it with a raspberry (blue) slushy w/vodka in it

j

jmckenna

10:37:25

!!!!

j

jmckenna

10:37:42

she was having a fun work day! hahaha

d

dmorissette

10:37:47

can she at least blame the vodka for the incident?

j

jmckenna

10:38:31

I'm now good at using a toothbrush on the motherboard and ram sticks....she should hire me for the cleaning ha

s

sdlime

10:39:05

vodka? perhaps...

s

sdlime

10:39:37

apple noticed when she sent it in for repair (the blue was a dead give away)

j

jmckenna

10:39:45

ha

d

dmorissette

10:39:48

s

sdlime

10:40:08

anyway, back to the topic at hand...

j

jmckenna

10:40:28

release plan items: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-8.0-Release-Plan

s

sdlime

10:41:27

limiting mapfile access (the last idea bullet) is wrapped into the config RFC and can be removed

j

jmckenna

10:41:45

ok willdo

s

sdlime

10:42:51

actually maybe a note to -dev to review and update status would be a good idea

s

sdlime

10:43:11

could put a deadline on that so the plan is at least known

j

jmckenna

10:43:19

ok agreed

j

jmckenna

10:45:49

8.0 open tickets: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestone/54

d

dmorissette

10:46:06

sdlime will you turn your RFC drafts into formal RFCs to make them easier to track down the road?

j

jmckenna

10:46:52

I converted OCGAPI into formal

s

sdlime

10:46:53

yes... only RFC I have out there for consideration yet is the config file

j

jmckenna

10:47:18

sdlime i'll convert the config one too today...

s

sdlime

10:47:22

i like the wiki for drafts - so much easier to edit

j

jmckenna

10:47:37

agreed

s

sdlime

10:47:54

jmckenna, thanks! let me add the mapscript bit and then drop you a note

j

jmckenna

10:48:00

roger

s

sdlime

10:48:22

I'll delete them off my wiki when converted to avoid confusion

j

jmckenna

10:48:25

i'll test it at the same time!

j

jmckenna

10:48:30

ok

d

dmorissette

10:49:21

thanks sdlime. I agree the wiki is easier for collaborative edits, but the other day I was looking for the config RFC and had a hard time finding it because it is not referenced anywhere (except the release plan as I see now)

j

jmckenna

10:49:48

sorry dmorissette will add into repository, good point, shortly

s

sdlime

10:49:50

it's in a few email to -dev but I get your point

j

jmckenna

10:50:18

(this release plan wiki page with links to all proposed changes is a lifeline for me)

s

sdlime

10:50:21

also in the WPI pull request...

j

jmckenna

10:50:25

i use it everyday

s

sdlime

10:50:46

WPI=WIP

j

jbo-ads

10:51:58

Maybe a wiki page dedicated to RFC drafts? with a link to it in RFC document

s

sdlime

10:51:59

unfortunately I have a hard stop at 9am

d

dmorissette

10:52:28

I like the idea of a wiki page for RFC drafts, with a note at the top stating that they are not formal RFCs until committed to the git repo

j

jmckenna

10:52:46

same, hard stop for me at top of hour: woodstove guy coming to do repairs...life

j

jmckenna

10:56:56

any other last minute items?

j

jbo-ads

10:58:22

not for me. thank you for setting up this meeting

d

dmorissette

10:58:36

nothing else for me (except that I need to get the MapML stuff updated and committed in the next few weeks)

s

sdlime

10:58:40

nope, thanks for organizing - really appreciate it!

j

jmckenna

10:58:50

thanks everyone for taking this time!

j

jmckenna

10:59:04

next meeting 26 Aug

j

jmckenna

10:59:17

will send out minutes today
