Topics

1) date for Mapbender dev sprint

we limited the choice of dates to either Mon, March 31st, or Fri, Apr 4th.
People were slightly in favor of Friday. No decision has been made.

However, we agreed upon adding possible topics for the sprint at
http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Fossgis2008_Mapbender_Development_Sprint

2) License header in scripts

Handing the copyright over to OSGeo: Arnulf presented the following 
document,
http://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/9765352/010-GtCopyright-HJMversion_FINAL.odt
referring to GeoTools. IMPORTANT: EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT!!

We should also make up our minds if we wanted to adopt GPLv3.

Concerning the headers in the scripts: Arnulf pointed out that we should 
have a link to a local or remote file, or even the full license, but the 
most impotant thing was, that there was one of the three. (The link to 
the GNU site is http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/GNU_GPL)

3) Mapbender 2.5 status report

Developers are urged to take a look at the list of to do's for the release
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/report/6

Here's the preliminary list of new features (some things may still be 
missing, but have already been implemented)
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/report/32

We also need a lot of testers.

4) date and time of the meeting

We decided to keep the current time and date (Monday 1700), in order to 
allow people from abroad to join in. We also agreed upon starting 1700 
sharp to avoid delays.
