Discussion on “in-kind” participation, to happen as Milestone 1 settles

   -

   dedicated resources  that can be scheduled and take load off developers
   → logo on page
   -

   testing nightly build, mentioned in blog posts and updates

PR Roundup

   -

   GEOT-7776: ready for review, error message to useful logs
   -

   GWC: postgresql 42.7.7: backport underway, fix for standalone gwc
   -

   GeoServer
   -

      KeyStore password change:
      -

         Update javadocs to indicate MasterPasswordController is actually
         for keystore password
         -

         Q: Rename class? Can try it…
         The rest api endpoint will remain the same binding
         -

      Login as Root:
      -

         Root login enable is useful when adjusting security settings,
         fallback to avoid being locked out, …
         -

      Create an authentication filter REST API


Breakout on configuration order:

   -

   Q: Can we make the configuration sorting consistent?
   Yes: Provided by Bean property order
   -

   Yes: Hashmap order is random, but we can make this sorted:  security
   rules, and other examples like metadata map, styles, etc…
   -

   TreeMap for alphabetical order: Metadatamap etc..
   -

   Examples of LinkedHashMap
   -

      JAIExt Operations order
      -

      Allowed MIME types for GetMap and GetFeatureInfo
      -

      LinkedHashSet is used when we want to have order of operators,
      selected styles (this could also have move up + move down button)
