Agenda

Minutes

  • New PSC members welcoming!

    • AP will update pictures on the website, the PSC list on the wiki was already updated.
    • Schedule a meeting for all (new and old) members after the next elections
  • 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
