Howard Butler, Dan Baston, Alessandro Pasotti, Norman Barker, Daniel
Morissette, Kurt Schwehr, Jukka Rahkonen, Michael Sumner, and Javier Jimenez
Shaw held the monthly GDAL Maintainers Meeting on 02/27/2025. The following
items were discussed and reported upon:
Project News
* Even engaged two potential part-time (~ half a day / week each) documentation
maintainers who are enthusiastic to be supported by the GDAL Sponsorship
Program to improve documentation needs highlighted by last fall's GDAL User
Survey. A GDAL PSC member is needed to engage with and commit to managing them
to continue moving it forward.
* GDAL 3.10.2 "Gulf of Mexico" was released
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.10.2/NEWS.md
* libgeotiff 1.7.4 was released
https://github.com/OSGeo/libgeotiff/releases/tag/1.7.4
Maintenance activities update
--
Alessandro
* gdal_contour bug fixing https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/11564 to correct
how levels and ranges were set by users or interpreted from the incoming data
* Implemented synchronization of OGR layer definition with savepoint mechanisms
in GeoPackage and SQLite drivers (started as a QGIS bug but was decided it was
best fixed in GDAL
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/59797#issuecomment-2544133498)
Dan
* 'gdal raster calc', which is a no-python implementation that depends on the
recently added GDAL VRT expression capabilities to lazily compute raster
operations https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11850
* 20+ PRs
* Accumulated stats and potential usage information from website
format-specific driver pages to gage
Even did not attend but provided the following text updates:
* RFC 106: Metadata items to reflect driver update capabilities
https://gdal--11862.org.readthedocs.build/en/11862/development/rfc/rfc106_update_metadata.html
* RFC 107: IGetExtent / ISetSpatialFilter
https://gdal--11862.org.readthedocs.build/en/11862/development/rfc/rfc107_igetextent_isetspatialfilter.html
* RFC 108: Driver removal for GDAL 3.11
https://gdal--11862.org.readthedocs.build/en/11862/development/rfc/rfc108_driver_removal_3_11.html
* Related to RFC 108, dropping as a maintainer of libogdi (this library
probably no longer makes sense for anyone, the to-be-dropped OGR OGDI driver
being likely its only user)
* Implementation of "gdal vector select" and "gdal vector sql"
* Implementation of "gdal raster mosaic" and "gdal raster stack"
* Brainstorming about a "gdal vector geom_op":
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/11826
* Usual mix of random fixes and pull request reviews
The next GDAL Maintainers Meeting is 03/27/2024 at 13:00 UTC. GDAL PSC members
and PR contributors are welcome to join by reaching out to me for an invite.
