The annual OSGeo Code sprint was held in Bonn March 18 to 25, bringing together nearly hundred members of the OSGeo community together. A code sprint is a chance for the community to meet in person for direct collaboration, projects use this as an opportunity to work together or tackle larger issues as a team.

We made use of BaseCamp Bonn (http://www.basecamp-bonn.de/) to host the code sprint, providing a friendly indoor "campground' with picnic tables for working, surrounded by caravans of all shapes and sizes making up the accommodation. It can be quite a shock to roll out of bed, and find python developers in a cluster before your morning coffee.

Participation was open to all, not only OSGeo projects, and we were pleased to welcome over eighty developers from all over the world! This was a chance for developers to meet (often for the fist time) and collaborate with core developers, gaining a insight into the software, and participate in open source development,

An impressive list of projects was represented: uDig, GeoTools, LocationTech, JTS Topology Suite, JAI Replacement, TilelessMap, PostGIS, SHOGun, react-geo, Saga, OSGeoLive, owslib, debian/ubuntu, UbuntuGIS, OpenLayers, MapServer, QGIS, GeoExt 3, Nominatim, GDAL, t-rex, PyWPS, GRASS GIS, OWSLib, pygeometa, MapServer, geocatalogo, GeoNode, OTB, ZOO-Project, Proj.4, Point clouds, meshes, Potree, PDAL, GeoTrellis, snappy, OSM-Vector-Tiles, Geonetwork, Geoserver, OpenLayers Editor, Noise, CouchDB, MS4W, EOxServer, maposmatic, mapnik, Mapbender, gvSIG, gvSIG Mobile, Geopaparazzi, pyModis, GeoMajas, GeoHealthCheck, Stetl, Entwine, Greyhound, deegree, TEAM Engine, actinia, 3DCityDB and testing GMLAS tools!


Entwine

GeoHealthCheck (GHC)


Geopaparazzi

GRASS GIS


TEAM Engine


Mapbender

PyWPS


OSGeoLive

  • Tasks for incubation were done
    • Provenance review
    • Final touches of the new Documentation framework

OpenLayers

Mapbox styles generation library from OpenLayers (ol-mapbox-style) and upgrading the Boundless SDK (not an OSGeo project, but open source: https://github.com/boundlessgeo/sdk/) to OpenLayers 5.


OWSLib

  • Merged Pull-Requests
  • Fixed test-suite


PDAL


PgRouting


JTS Topology Suite


GeoTools

  • Following page https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1834 migrated to the official Java "units" API used to used to convert between different distances, times and angles.
  • This work also migrated the GeoWebCache and GeoServer codebases to track the API change


Raster Processing Engine

  • Spent a lot of time reverse engineering the raster processing requireemnts of the Java community, starting with the GeoTools project and branching out to the JAI-Ext and JAI Tools code-base as required.
  • An initial architecture spike (https://github.com/locationtech/rasterprocessingengine) was created, providing an easy to use "builder" API, backed by the JAI-Ext implementation of affine transformation

The event also played host to some community building activities: FOSS4G 2019 organization, OSGeo board meeting, OSGeo marketing committee, MoU between TIB and OSGeo, OSGeo member meeting.


OSGeo Member meeting

The OSGeo Member Meeting took place in Bonn at BaseCamp at March 19th 2018 during the OSGeo Code Sprint. About 50 people came to the Member Meeting and from the board María Arias de Reyna, Jody Garnett, Vasile Craciunescu, Michael Smith, Angelos Tzotsos and Astrid Emde were present. María Arias de Reyna was moderating the meeting, a whiteboard (shown in the photo below) was used to collect topics and questions for the OSGeo board and members to discuss. (Read more https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Member_Meeting_Bonn_2018)


MoU TIB

During the Code Sprint the Mou between OSGeo and Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) – German National Library of Science and Technology was signed. Maria Arias de Reyna, President, Open Source Geospatial Foundation and Dr. Bastian Drees on behalf of Prof. Dr. Sören Auer, Director, Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) signed the MoU.

When not working, attendees did enjoy exploring the town, making for some great "geobeer" discussion. The sprint was held in conjunction with the FOSSGIS Conference (https://fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/), the regional "foss4g" event for Germany. The crew enjoyed a little bit of socializing, with code sprinters joining the "gala event" and contributing to the festive atmosphere and dancing. The city itself provided many distractions, with computational device museum being a highlight.

We would like to thank Bonn for showing everyone such hospitality, and looking forward to the next OSGeo Code Sprint!


After: OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 - thank you for joining. Press release and feedback needed

Title: OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 - thank you for joining. Press release and feedback needed
  • mail to ask for feedback and input for presse release

Hello all,

great that you joined OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn two weeks ago. We hope you had a good and productive time in BaseCamp and hope you could build up many great contacts. And in the end had a save journey back home.

To some of you we could not say good-bye as we organized the FOSSGIS conference parallel to the code sprint and we underrated the work that had to be done for the events (so not such a good idea as we could not send enough time with you).

Photos Unfortunately we missed to make a group photo. We have to think about that next time. There are some photos from the event at flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143943250@N05/albums/72157691529787542 If you have more photos please let us know.

Feedback & Press Release We would like to get your feedback and also would like to ask you for help with a press release about the Code Sprint.

Please add the information till 15. of April 2018. Then we will publish the press release a few days later.

Thanks for attending the OSGeo Code Sprint in Bonn. We were a great team and we enjoyed the sprint with you

Interested? So read more about why & where & when...

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Open Source GIS software.

For several years the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) [1] has been organizing a yearly Code Sprint, a come-together of the "C Tribe" OSGeo projects - now we call it OSGeo Code Sprint. Leading developers of projects like GDAL, PostGIS, MapServer, QGIS, PDAL, and many more get together to discuss new ideas, hack, decide, tackle large geospatial problems & more & simply to have fun.

In 2018 the OSGeo Code Sprint will come again to Europe after Vienna (2014) [6] and Paris in (2016) [4]. This makes is possible to embed European developers and users. The tradition started in 2011 with Toronto [11], then New York [10], Montreal [9], Island Wood [8] and Boston [7]. And went to Philadelphia in 2015 [5] and last year to Daytona Beach (2017) [3]. Find a list of code sprints at [12].

OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn

This year the international code sprint of the OSGeo will take place from 19 to 25 March 2018 simultaneously with the FOSSGIS Conference 2018 in Bonn. We offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their code sprint.

The code sprint will take place at BaseCamp in Bonn. During the FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn we have already organized a code sprint at this location, in which about 100 developers worked on the open source projects every day. (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint). It is a really awesome location. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall and you will live in a caravan, bus or cabin.

Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.

Acommodations

Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by yourself.

BaseCamp is an indoor campground and offers different caravans, night sleepers, Airstreams, a Trabant, Volkswagen transporter and other places to stay.

If you prefer to stay in a hotel - no problem. Bonnox Boardinghouse is close-by. And you also find many great hotels in Bonn.

Book your room soon

As the accommodations are as well available to FOSSGIS 2018 participants we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. Therefore, please book your accomondation as soon as possible via the booking system http://www.bonn-region.de/events/fossgis.html


Register for the OSGeo Code Sprint

And don't forget to sign up in the OSGeo wiki at our OSGeo Code Spint 2018 page:
