The discussed topics will be as various as the scope of GDAL is, covering among other things:
- Enhancements in the "gdal" front-end command line interface:
* raster functionality: as-features, blend, compare, neighbors, nodata-to-alpha, zonal-stats, etc.

* dataset management
* mixed raster/vector pipelines
* nested pipelines
