Topics:

• Schedule Technical meetings 2023 - will be continued every 2nd Tuesday, AP will send invitation for 2023
• Roadmap 2023 and beyond: **Prepare QGEP 2023 -> QGIS 3.28.1 will be the new LTR for next year / postgres 10+ (since 1.5.5) **: SB shows excel with detailed roadmap. General principle is to follow the QGIS Release cycle with a major release and two minor releases. TEKSI will then follow this cycle 5-6 weeks later. With that we build up on a stable QGIS version. Each season of the year has it's special focus.
• Minimal requirements are discussed. Define supported range e.g. Postgres 11- 14 -15 (bold version is recommended for new users. OD will make proposal of Minimal / maximal requirements for next meeting. More detailed roadpmap as excel [WIP] 20221213_teksi_roadmap_2023_2024.zip
• and create two polls (please fill out till 20.12.2022):
  • What postgres version do you use currently?
  • What postgis version do you use currently?
• Feature and bug roadmap list github: To get an overview and be able to manage releases all new feature requests and bug fixes are added to a new github table. Various tabs allow the overview, time planning, issues per release etc. AP and SB added all idea features that are known and added the features developed this year. This table should be maintained from now on.

It includes the status from the New feature request process:

and the bug fix process:

  • Docs: https://github.com/QGEP/docs/pull/198
  • Follow up work: create testdataset and define, which cases of special structures from the VSA-Wiki list of Erfassungsbeispiele should be supported. (SB, TP)
• Additional views added to datamodel - need to be integrated also to the new project file 2023:
  • Create vw_infiltration_installation and vw_wwtp_structure views #189 (RB)

• In testing the import of Wincan 2008 xtf KEK data, there were some issues with the import wizard (automatic matching of manhole / channel)
  • User interface: reaches are not suggested using from_point_identifier and to_point_identifier #89 and User interface: user cannot assign a wastewater structure when importing data #88 . SB could not confirm these errors on his QGIS installation. Maybe a language problem of the project file? Needs further research (SB).
