Agenda

The topics proposed are:

Minutes

  • Report from NumFOCUS Project Summit:
    • VP participated of the NumFOCUS projects summit; there were not many other projects attending.
    • There are calls for small grants (USD 10K per project per year), that we should apply for, and ideally use them for development.
    • It seems we need to apply as a project, but it is not clear who submits. In any case, the person interested in the money should lead the effort. See: https://numfocus.org/programs/small-development-grants.
    • We had a meeting with them on Tue 18th, but AP will ask them to move it because neither VP nor VA can attend. New date: Dec 10th, 2025.
  • GRASS wiki under attack:
    • MN set up countermeasures on the server, instructions to be dumped in our infrastructure shared doc
    • Not everyone has access to that doc, so we shall review and discuss our shared folder and files “policy”.
  • GRASS meeting San Michele 2026:
    • See Luca's proposal.
    • Nicklas is not available for any of the proposed dates.
    • AP and VP depend on the green card, if they get it on time, any of the dates are fine.
    • Paulo: 50% with the second date.
    • HC: probably the second date.
    • MN and VA: any date fine for now.
    • Linda: new baby coming! Congrats!
  • Release 8.4:
    • VP and MN will agree on a date soon to do the release together.
    • Edouard will be invited, too.
  • Release 8.5:
    • It will have CMake in the source code as experimental feature to try for users who compile code themselves (but extensions won’t work for them).
    • FHS won’t work with CMake yet.
    • It’s a matter of communication about what’s there in the source code. Binaries will be with autotools, so addons will work.
    • Blockers: there’s an issue with r.blend and something with r.patch with vrt and nprocs > 1 (the latter found by Metz, but still unreported)
    • New python API, VP will call for a webinar on it by mid-dec, to show how it works and collect some feedback, too.
    • JSON stuff and mkdocs is in good shape to go.
    • Jupyter notebook PR needs to be reviewed, it does not work in windows, but this is not a blocker, we can mark it as experimental.
    • Drop support for PROJ < 8 and GDAL < 3? Nicklas created issues to get feedback, it could be done before the release.
  • Motion proposed and passed to reimburse Alen for the stickers. VP will contact Michael Smith, so Alen gets reimbursed.
  • Plan extraordinary meeting - PSC + Luca to plan 2026 budget + community meeting when the call for OSGeo budget is out.
    • VP proposal: include an item to promote GRASS in other than FOSS4G conferences.
