[gdal-dev] GDAL Maintainers Meeting Minutes

[Alexandre Gacon]

Don't know if it can help but OSGEO is hosting a weblate instance if you
are looking for a tool to allow people work on the translation (but you
have to find a format managed by weblate).

> * Add GetExtent3D "fast" implementation for GeoJSON
> * GDAL Raster Tile Index driver review. Find out more at
> https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/gti.html
> Even
>
> * 3.8.3 Bugfix release. See
> https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.8.3/NEWS.md for release notes
> * Added CodeQL analyzer via GitHub Actions. It identified nearly 300
> issues, though almost all of them were false positives or unconcerning.
> * Submitted GDAL to the OpenSSF for a security scorecard. It initially
> ranked 5.8/10, and Even completed actions to improve its score such as
> providing PR submissions to CodeQL. It currently ranks 9.0/10.0, with the
> item most contributing to its slightly reduced score being the need for
> more code and PR reviews (we need more PR reviews from GDAL collaborators!)
> See  https://securityscorecards.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/OSGeo/gdalfor
> details on the score.
>
> Javier
>
> * Javier refactored https://spatialreference.org/. It now loads very
> fast, it is statically generated, and it is open source software that users
> can deploy in their own environments. Thanks again Javier!
>
> Sean
>
> * Sean added GitHub Actions that listen to the GDAL release tag and fire
> and runs rasterio's tests when a GDAL release is issued.
> * Sean added exception chaining in rasterio and this prompted a discussion
> about lack of enthusiasm for changing any of GDAL's error handling
> behaviors.
>
> Translation Discussion
>
> Alessandro began a discussion about the need to add language translation
> of open options for drivers, how the project could go about managing them.
> Discussion evolved to covering translation of contextual error messages and
> the challenge of maintaining and providing that. No action was to be taken
> at this time, but if this is a topic that's interesting to you, please
> chime in on the mailing list or in a ticket.
>
> The next GDAL Maintainers Meeting is 02/22/2024 at 9:00 EDT. Any PSC
> members are welcome to join by reaching out to me for an invite.
