deegree PSC Meeting (2013-01-14)

Time: 12:30 - 13:30 h CET

1. Agenda

Jens proposal to rotate the chair on a yearly base
Discussion: As structures and procedures are undergoing changes currently, it is assumed that we better wait until at least the Meeting end of January (Linux Hotel) or at least 3 months.

Community space: Status? - Preannouncement to be sent out this week (Jens). Heidelberg confirmed March 14. - Next steps then: Call for participation, set up planning page in Wiki, Link and registration on deegree.org.
Meeting Linux Hotel (Jan 31): Room in Linux hotel to be confirmed tomorrow (Jan 15).
License decision: Make the decision known to the community (Jens send an email to deegree-users).
OSGeo contact wrt. shootout: Herman has a contact person now, will send an email.
TMC feedback on:
- Handbook completion: TMC response looks like Markus Schneider will do all of the work. But this wasn't intended by our question. Then it's not clear what is meant by the target date.
- deegree Roadmap: TMC is completing the roadmap on short notice.
- CRS issue: TMC assumes that this requires "a substantial rewrite" (20 PD or even more). Alternatives we have: Find funding and/or customer project, ask the community ("pilot project" to improve code quality, chose this module as the candidate).
- TMC's Github roadmap: Obviously it was a good start on Github, but still some details have to clarified. This seems to need some more time.

Actions: PSC members register at Github, then ask TMC (Markus) for ownership. Still TBD for Jens and Klaus.
Github follow-up: PSC members get familiar with Github (on an overview level).
Old SVN: Decision to make it read-only for the modules which are moved to Github. Other modules remain at Wald SVN. - Action: Ask TMC about the modules to be set read-only (Jens)
Tracker choice: TMC meeting notes look like that there is a decision towards Jira now. But still (for the PSC) it is not clear, why. Action: Ask the TMC again. Why no open source alternative? (Herman)
Wiki choice: PSC seconds TMC approach to only have development-related information in the Github wiki.
Feedback on handbook technology (from TMC, authors), make a decision: TMC is still in favour of Sphinx. PSC second this.
Potential Enhancements in the web site: Arie (IDgis) made a proposal. We have provide feedback here. And Arie needs full access to the testing environment (Jens).

Prepare the Linux Hotel meeting
Infrastructure renewal (still?)
Comparison to neighbour projects (which is probably related to the OSGeo shootout issue)

Next meeting is scheduled for 2013-01-21, 12:30 h CET
