1. Tyler / GeoGig

• IP review coming along?
• Need to try out GeoTools 14-M0 next?

2. Rob / GeoTrellis

• at capacity for release, not at a point where we can support interest
• IP review has the backseat
• sparc issues with codebase
• milestone release under sonyatype repo before a 1.0 version for location tech

2. James / GeoMesa

GeoMesa:

• CQs in for IP review
• Happy to cut a 1.0 release based on GeoTools 11.2? Or update to 14-M0 ...
• Stuck between IP review / Customer review
• still need to update headers
• Will send example to wiki :)
• Idea: Jody's header script in bugzila, perhaps put on wiki or github
• What happened Sparc / Accumulo / zookeeper?
• email thread about exempt exempt-prereq, as PMC can we respond to this idea

SFCurve:

• not moved on headers yet, so no initial contribution to location tech github repository
• Anthony has some contributions waiting on this before GeoMesa can use it
• Ideas:
• pull request to change the headers
• Schedule a hangout to get this done (next week James/Rob)

3. Jody / uDig

• EPSG is now approved
• Will migrate GeoTools 14-M0

4. David / Spatial4j

• submitted initial CQ based on Sharon's comments
• Going to each file, who has (c) and who changed it etc...
• header script helped but was not perfect
• CQ for Geometry 3D package
• code is in lucerne spatial

Q: JAI?

Firm rejection as an exempt pre-req. So we need to treat it as a works with.

Projects:

• uDig: needs to be able startup without JAI to qualify as "works with" 

Options:

• Seems to be overlap between between GeoTrellis and JAI. May be an escape ...
• Grow JAI-EXT project to be independent 

Is LocationTech a good place to gather up a JAI substitute? Yes but Jody would like to talk to JAI-Ext project first.

Q: Elections?

We are looking at:

• one committer rep
• one participating rep
