Minnesota 2019 Codesprint
This page details activities and discussions that are part of the OSGeo Community Sprint 2019.
- new PROJ API support - focus on PROJ version 6 and up only...
- new GDAL, GEOS, PostGIS opportunities - our use of those C APIs is dated and should be reviewed

Note: any of these could be delayed until an 8.0 release but are generally non-breaking changes or enhancements from an end-user perspective.

- Implementing #5754 POINT_Z_M by default
- OGC WFS 3 implications
