Agenda

The proposed topics to be discussed are:

Minutes

  • New PSC members welcoming!
  • PSC debriefing:
    • For the next elections, we all agree that we should remove the reflection period and start immediately with the voting period after candidates provided their statements.
    • Anna will update pictures on the website, PSC list on the wiki were already updated.
    • Schedule a meeting for all (new and old) members after the next elections
  • Release 8.4.1 status:
    • see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A8.4.1
    • get the open issues to a minimum, i.e., review, merge, close, or move to 8.4.2 or 8.5
    • db.in.ogr changes to docs about setting autodetect to import csv files → MB will provide the sentence to modify
    • HC open PRs
    • r.univar bug #4284
    • MN proposes to sit together with VP while doing the release and check if the procedure is in good shape (as time permits)
  • Milestones vs backport labels:
    • Milestone: We want to have it in the given version
    • Backport label: Needs to be backported regardless of the milestone (milestone may target micro release or future release)
  • Numfocus (https://numfocus.org/):
    • GDAL, GeoPandas, and Numpy use it
    • Industry partners need an invoice, OSGeo is not willing to handle that
    • NumFocus can apply to US funding
    • Deadline for application?
    • Cost: 15% from donations
    • Is there a fee/base cost to pay? Apparently not
    • We would keep opencollective open for donations and NumFocus for industry because of the invoices
    • LK suggests to create a list of industry partners
    • AP and VP will fill out the application, we need at least 5 people in the application
  • GSoC
    • Google sent money for mentors, OSGeo asked mentors what they we wanted to do
    • GRASS mentor’s money —> goes to GRASS project but sits with OSGeo
  • Upcoming events:
    • AGU: talks accepted
    • FOSS4G Brazil: GRASS talk and workshop accepted + keynote
    • FOSDEM: Paulo potentially, willing to present something about GRASS. Paulo will inform the others if he will go. Deadline for abstracts is Dec 1st
    • FOSS4G Asia: MN will deliver a keynote. See: https://talks.geoinfo-lab.org/foss4g-asia-2024/talk/KYNT8Z/
  • Documentation - moving to md
  • Publer:
    • Motion: pay business plan for one year 3 accounts and test - Motion passed
    • Action point: contact OSGeo about the money
    • VA will ping Paulo -> create a shared doc
  • Budget:
    • We need a meeting for this topic only: Nov 22, PSC meeting time slot
    • VA created the calendar event, VP will draft a new budget based on 2024’s
    • Deadline to submit it is Dec 23rd (Vero’s bday btw :))
  • Discourse:
    • AP will send an email requesting the de-activation of the grass-dev mailing list
    • We all agree to move grass-user and grass-psc to discourse too
    • In a next step, we delete grass-web (say: we put it into archive mode and remove URL from grass.osgeo.org and elsewhere, pointing to discourse instead)
  • RFC about standards
    • Nicklas sends out the motion
