    • most modules obvious to be parallelised have already been so;
    • patching of results is an issue (high overhead), although in the GridModule a virtual raster could be an option.

  • Reviewed all GRASS GIS online profiled and compiled list that need updating (report in progress)

Edouard Choinière

  • Discussion with Vaclav Petras on current state of python packaging, build, and testing framework and coverage, Windows porting improvements, and future plans. Planning for the week. Lead to PRs addressing Windows blockers: #3850 and #3853, which I tested on my fork combined with my changes highlighting the bugs.
  • Reviewing of PRs, managing CI during the sprint (restarting transient failures, finding inefficiencies, queueing jobs before and after active periods).
  • Maintaining code quality CI and pre-commit. Example: Flake8 fails with Python 3.12 in pre-commit, as it is way outdated, harming contributions of the sprint's participants. Bumping to a new version has other failures and dependent changes needed. Related PRs include: #3808, #3831, #3833, #3840, #3814, #3799, #3834, #3815, #3820, #3818, #3813, #3855, #3817, #3812, #3859, #3860, #3861, #3841
  • Help Markus debugging Dockerfile builds. Reviewed docker-related PRs, improved docker builds, upgrade base images. (PRs: #3802, #3807, #3810, #3828, #3819, #3830, #3797, #3787, #3773, #3822, #3728)
  • Helped multiple times Alen Mangafić with usage and building custom Docker images with different versions of PDAL.
  • Designing and drafting the integration of docker build caching to improve build times whilst keeping risk of using cached old dependencies. #3821
  • With Vaclav Petras: reviewing backportable PRs, and designing the requirements and it's implementation of a automated backport solution with GitHub actions. Prioritized to work on the implementation after the sprint, as other features affecting productivity during the sprint should be worked on. Edit: implementation started on a branch of my fork
  • With Vaclav Petras: Discussing release notes generation improvements, deciding on new labels and classification, adjusting and improving titles regexes. Designed a process to validate PR that PR titles are classified correctly automatically, to greatly simplify future releases. This lead to Vaclav creating the validation function in PR #3824. Implementation of validation workflow on PR creation and title changes will follow. PRs related to these decisions also include: #3823, #3829
  • Clarifying our supported languages standard support with Vaclav Petras and when changes should be made, leading to reduction of C/C++ CI usage in #3846. Postponed checking of newer C++23 until Ubuntu 24.04 builds with newest GCC toolchain are included in CI.
  • Helping Alen Mangafić with a local build to run alongside jupyter and conda environment.
  • Reviewing Chung-Yuan Liang's PR, then assisting him multiple times with git operations, argparse, and unittest-related problems when programming. Sample of resulting PRs: #3835
  • Review and ajust repository's configuration to prevent some noticed problems, including pull request title/commit details (with Markus) and ruleset permissions related to branch creation (with Vaclav).
  • PR title validation workflow implemented: #3877
  • Debug and investigate pytest timeout failures of #3879 that that same PR was supposed to prevent. The most probable explanation requires changing the multiprocessing startup method from fork to spawn, that also requires the code to be pickle-able. Alternative solution to avoid this requires changes of blocked and unmerged PRs that I worked to unblock. Unblocking these is also required to run pytest on macOS and Windows, and for a future python 3.14 on Linux too.
  • Finish debugging porting Travis CI to Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) to unblock other PRs. Needed to fix some errors from -Wdeprecated-non-prototype to make Travis pass with the new -Werror flag. PR: #3002
  • Windows test failures due to external web content used for g.extension tests not being available for 8.5 on winGRASS yet. #3893

Vaclav Petras

  • PR reviews (a lot)
  • Work on RC1 (release notes, automatic generators)
  • Venue organizing and hosting
  • Review of media posts
