New York Code Sprint 2010

2009-11-07T16:30:07Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle:

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done last year at the [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]]). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Venue ==

The Open Planning Project and OpenGeo will be hosting the event this year, in a penthouse event room ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/philaestheta/3922525728/in/set-72157622375114194/ pic1], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4081335110/ pic2], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4080572085/ pic3], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4080570151/ pic4]) on the top floor of their offices ([http://maps.google.com/maps?q=148+Lafayette+Street+new+york Map]).

148 Lafayette Street 
New York, New York 
10013, USA 
Telephone: 212.796.4220 

== Timing ==

Duration: Four days (Saturday to Tuesday) from approximately 9am-4pm

Dates: Dates are currently being decided. February and early March are again the candidate times, to provide hopefully the cheapest accommodation options.

== Sponsors ==

We will again be looking for sponsors to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

To sponsor, please contact Paul Ramsey (pramsey at cleverelephant dot ca) directly.

== Hotel ==

We are working on a room block at a hotel near the sprint site, more information as it becomes available.

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to New York, variable depending on where you are.
* Accommodation for four nights, $300 to $600 depending on what room you choose and whether you room share.
* Breakfast, dinner and other snacks.
* The sponsorship moneys will be put towards: lunches, dinners (?), travel for some sprinters (?), Saturday night social event (?).

== Communication ==

Please join the mailing list at:

http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint

== Participation ==

We are planning for attendance of 20-40. Please add your name and the projects you are hoping to sprint on, if you have a strong intention to attend.

* Schuyler Erle (lives in Brooklyn, can host 1 or 2 guests)
* example entry: B has a triple room, needs two roommates.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible.

** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?
** No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

== Social Events ==

* To be determined

Toronto Code Sprint 2009

2009-03-07T06:37:47Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle: /* Participation */

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems, see the [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda]]. We have chosen a mid-North American location because this code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide) and many members of the "C Tribe" are clustered in the area. Toronto is also a major travel hub, for sprinters traveling from afar. Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Sponsors ==

We have received support from six sponsors, each providing a $500 sponsorship that will be put towards venue, internet and lunch costs.

Thanks to our sponsors!

Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda

2009-03-03T00:27:55Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle: /* GDAL */

== Theme ==

[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]] : '''The Need for Speed...'''

Performance is the universal feature, and the latest [http://blog.geoserver.org/2008/10/22/geoserver-benchmarks-at-foss4g-2008 Geoserver vs Mapserver] results indicate that there are places throughout the C stack that can use improvement.

== Proj4 ==

* Run Mapserver under load and review where Proj4 takes a hit (everywhere)
* Caching of PJ structs, Should make QGIS and Mapserver faster.
* Possibility of a new/simple API + optimized database sitting on top of PROJ4 to replace current init files and address some performance issues as well as allowing lookup of additional information such as axis order of a given SRS (required for WMS 1.3.0 and other OGC specs)
* bring epsgaxis axis flipping behavior into proj4 proper

== Mapserver ==

* Run the Geoserver benchmark tests under profiler and review results
* Single-pass querying, will bring WFS speed up to par
* Mapserver as Apache module, removes FastCGI instability and is potentially even faster, see [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2565 #2565]
* Roadmap for 6.0
* XML Mapfiles ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2872 #2872])
* coordinating and improving msautotest (what gets added, when, etc.)
* WMS 1.3.0 ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/473 #473])
* resolving msOWSDispatch ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2531 #2531])
* support for ITEM data types for WFS server ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/462 #462])
* Discuss issue of Hiding/enabling/ignoring layers in OGC Web Services (see [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/HidingLayersInOGCWebServices Trac wiki page])
* Discuss coordinate axis order for WFS 1.1.0 ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2899 #2899])
* OpenGL/Cairo/VtableRendering merge. Discuss some backwards compatibility changes implied by the rendering unification (notably on symbol orientation, and linestring markers)
* Choose one of Steve's logos

== GDAL ==

* Adding the ability to read z/x/y tiles (e.g. TMS, OSM, etc.) alongside the existing WMS reader support

== PostGIS ==

* Roadmap for 1.5+
* New on-disk format? Aligned double?
* New GEOS coordinate sequence to bind on top of aligned PostGIS structures?
* Profiling and review profile results

== PostGIS WKT Raster ==

*Discuss [http://postgis.refractions.net/support/wiki/index.php?WKTRasterHomePage WKT Raster] API, roadmap and funding
*Importer/exporter (raster2pgsql.exe, PGAdmin extension, new Paul's GUI, driver for GDAL, SQL importer function)
*Discuss WKT Raster and PostGIS web site, source integration and bug tracking.
*Discuss GiST index.

== GEOS ==

* Administrivia, what to do without a full-time maintainer?
* Roadmap for 3.2?

== libLAS ==

* Supporting inline streaming compression
* Win64 builds

Toronto Code Sprint 2009

2009-03-02T21:00:32Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle: added Schuyler to attendees

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems, see the [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda]]. We have chosen a mid-North American location because this code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide) and many members of the "C Tribe" are clustered in the area. Toronto is also a major travel hub, for sprinters traveling from afar. Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Sponsors ==

We have received support from five sponsors, each providing a $500 sponsorship that will be put towards venue, internet and lunch costs.

Thanks to our sponsors!

OSGeo Hacking event

2008-05-08T16:18:56Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle:

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (16-22 June 2008) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: 16-22 June 2008
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]

We will have an OSGeo "hacking" event in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastry] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby here]). The monastry is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my hand on it if we all start to download satellite images. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.

The cost will be about 200 Euro per person for the week.

For what the food concerns, there will be a cook who will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 Euro per person per day. There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

We'll discuss other technicalities as they come up, i.e. assistance if you need to rent a car, organize to travel together, public transport etc... Please feel free to use this WIKI page for that or create a sub page.

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days).

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Interested? Sign up here ===

Those participating, you will need to make and advance payment of 100 Euro to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.

=== How to arrive to the Monastry ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastry there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena.

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastry is aproximately 1 km.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastry and from the Monastry to Rome.

If you are interested in share vehicle please add your name to the following table and the columns you need for new ideas.

: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.

=== How to arrive to the Monastry ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastry there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena.

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastry is aproximately 1 km.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastry and from the Monastry to Rome.

If you are interested in share vehicle please add your name to the following table and the columns you need for new ideas.

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" class="wikitable"
!width="250"|Name

European GIS Code Sprint

2007-10-17T13:48:27Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle: /* Goals */

== European Code Sprint ==

This event is planned as European follow-up of the Canadian [[FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint]] in September. After the great cooperation at the FOSS4G Sprint in Canada, and the interest shown in a European followup, the Sprint will be held.
It is thought for those who for whatever reason did miss the Canadian sprint, but also for those who started something in Canada and need to meet again once more after a few months.

== Whom to contact for doubts, questions, ideas, volunteering ==

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]

(add yourself here if you would like to help)

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

(The following is taken from the page describing the planned
[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_CodeSprint Canadian Code Sprint at Foss4G2007].)

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done.
They get the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking
life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project
for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section at the bottom of your page for your project.

== Who should attend ==

* Developers that need to meet the community and discuss issues about a particular project.
* Developers that have the feeling that knowing the different projects communities gives added value and often saves from doing things twice
* Power users that are able to contribute documentation, decend bug descriptions and perhaps even help to fix minor issues.
* Web experts that want to contribute to their favorite projects by helping to set up the web page.

== Aims of the SFScon 2007 Code Sprint ==

For developers:
* bring different projects to know each other and build up some standard interaction
* let the teams of each project meet, discuss, design and code together fulltime and non-remotely for a few days (this often pushes projects more than months of email and IRC working)
* bugfixing

For Power Users:
* the possibility to meet the developer community and help (and be helped) with documentation and translation
* the possibility to propose important bugfixes (prior documented and reproducible, only power user accepted)

For everyone out there:
* Collaborate on the creation of a free dataset by wandering in an ordered way through a defined region with GPS. The dataset should contain as many data as possible, as for example the OSGeo NC dataset of the [http://www.grassbook.org/data_menu3rd.php grassbook] does. Moreover climatic and hydrologic/hydraulic data should be integrated in order to support different analyses.

== Location and Accommodation ==

=== Where is it? ===
The code sprint will be organized as a post-event of the South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007 held in Merano (BZ), Italy.
* SFScon location and GIS Code Sprint location is in Merano, at the "Franz Kafka High school, and can be found [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&ie=UTF8&ll=46.670753,11.158923&spn=0.004829,0.009956&z=17&om=1 here].

=== How to get there? ===
For trains and planes to get to the sprint please follow this:
[http://sfscon.it/2007/how-to-reach-merano how to reach Merano]

=== Accommodations ===
The Organisers are trying to get together some packages and deals with the local Hotels for '''accommodation and meals'''. As soon as they are fixed, they will be published here.

== Planned Dates ==

* 16-17 Nov 2007: [http://www.sfscon.it/ South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007]
* 18 Nov 2007 (Sunday): Outdoor GIS data collection for Free data set (somewhere in South Tyrol) '''(this event is not sure yet, no competent people could be found to organise it)'''
* 19-21 Nov 2007: GIS Code Sprint

== Who will organise the sprint ==

The [http://www.tis.bz.it/bereiche/free-software-1 Free Software Center] of Bolzano, Italy, will take care of the organisative part of the event and investigate sponsorings for some parts of the free dataset.

== Attending people ==

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:Neteler | Markus Neteler]]

=== Expressed interest in coming ===

(please move you up if you already know that you will be there!)

* [[User:aaime| Andrea Aime]]
* [[User:SchuylerErle | Schuyler Erle]]
* [[User:Groldan | Gabriel Roldan]]

We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could
bring together different projects, that really need to interact if
they want to have a glorious future.

== What do I need for the sprint? - wishlist ==

Please add useful ideas for things that we might miss during the organisation:

* flipcharts
* a good and stable internet connection
* enough network cables
* enough extension cords
* some way to do good remote participation (any idea? IRC will be there)

== Virtual participation via IRC etc. ==
Too far away? Get virtually connected through IRC ([irc://irc.freenode.net/#osgeo #osgeo])! No IRC client software or strange firewall? Use the [http://irc.telascience.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi Web based IRC client] (choose your Nickname and the #osgeo channel).

FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint

2007-09-07T19:15:38Z

Wiki-SchuylerErle: /* Attending */

Back to [[FOSS4G2007]]...

== Organizing Contacts ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

On the Friday after the conference, a [http://www.foss4g2007.org/code_sprint/ big room] with internet connectivity, lots of tables and flip charts will be arranged. Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section below for your project.

== GeoTools ==

=== Attending ===

* Andrea Aime
* [[User:Jdeolive | Justin Deoliveira]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* [[User:Chorner | Cory Horner]]

=== Goals ===

We are going to to do a cross project code sprint (with GeoServer and uDig developers) focused on changing the internals over to the new Feature model. If we run across any old Filter code we will take care of it as well. The "old" Feature interface will still be available for client code to use - this sprint is just focused on updating (and testing the heck out of) our internals.

=== Preparation ===

We need *good* code examples of how to do the following before we start: Use SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder, use SimpleFeatureBuilder. It may also help to have a big old class diagram of the Feature model.

We expect each developer to have a working build of trunk, have read the interfaces for SimpleFeature and the above code examples.

=== Out of Scope ===

There are lots of things that are going to have to follow out of scope for this sprint. I am going to bring attention to the following explicitly. *Performance* (the implementation of SimpleFeature available here is for the transition period only - optimize on your own time after we have updated the codebase to handle it). *Javadocs* - much of the javadocs will be out of date by the time we are done, type a sentence and move on.

During the code sprint you will be tempted - when you run into any good ideas on these topics simply fire an email off to the devel list and we will revisit it later.

== GRASS ==

=== Attending ===

=== Goals ===

* Hack session

== GDAL Bug Squash ==

Details at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BugSquash2007

== GeoNetwork / Metadata Madness ==

=== Goals ===

Building crawler/harvester/aggregator applications on top of the GeoNetwork metadata catalog network and similar interfaces. Plugging client stuff like gvSIG and uDig into it.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:JoWalsh|Jo Walsh]]
* [[User:Fxp|François Prunayre]]

== OpenLayers ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:crschmidt|Christopher Schmidt]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:tschaub|Tim Schaub]]
* [[User:euzuro|Erik Uzureau]]
* [[User:ominiverdi|Lorenzo Becchi]]
* [[User:SchuylerErle|Schuyler Erle]]

=== Goals ===
Hack, hack, hack. I think this will be OpenLayers 2.6 or 2.7?

Some specific ideas:
* OL Context/WMC+ - read/write support for and OWS Context style doc
* SLD support - edit/read/write
* Renderer Optimizations
** consider attributing geometry components with a minResolution below which the renderer doesn't deal with them
** clipping - svg supports clipping, we need to consider clipping or another method of dealing with geometries that extend beyond the renderer bounds

== QGIS ==
=== Attending ===
* [[User:Gsherman|Gary Sherman]]
* [[User:Aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:hdus|Horst Düster]]
* [[User:spacedman|Barry Rowlingson]]

=== Goals ===
Here are some goals/wishes/ideas for the code sprint:

1. I would love to get some traction on expanding the "Tim Tutorials" into a more generic and robust framework for stand alone apps. Focusing on the Python bindings would be my preference. (Aaron Racicot)

2. Build an ''all-in-one'' data browser:
* Display a tree of all QGIS supported types, including PostGIS and WMS
* Support drag and drop from the browser to the QGIS map canvas
* Include file/layer management tools

3. I would prefer a discussion in which direction symbolisation should go. (Horst Düster)

== SWIG Bindings ==

SWIG bindings are increasingly used and could be used by many projects. GDAL uses them, and this sprint will focus in GDAL's (new generation) bindings but more general discussion, goal setting, and talk on integration is very much hoped for.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:ajolma|Ari Jolma]]
* [[User:szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

=== Goals ===

* present a short introduction to SWIG (AJ: I'll prepare this)
* develop a vision of how we integrate tools and create common look and feel high-level programming interfaces with SWIG bindings

Specifically for GDAL (from Tamas Szekeres' email):

* harmonize the typemap usage between the various bindings (and update the README.typemaps accordingly)
* determine which of the gdal/ogr features should be added to (or perhaps removed from) the SWIG interface.
* look over the possibilities to automate the creation of the code-comment-documentation for the various languages.
* construct the expected object model diagram to follow by the various languages (and publish the model itself)
* discuss the language specific issues and the expected treatments.

== Udig / JGrass ==

Cross project code sprint with the JGrass and uDig projects.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:jeichar | Jesse Eichar]]
* [[User:silli | Silvia Franceschi]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

=== Goals ===
Currently these are proposals we are working on selecting a subset of these goals.

{| border="1"
|-
! Topic
! Description
|-
| Animation Framework
| If we could code up an example animation (say a point moving over a road network), then it becomes much easier for newcommers to work on fleshing this out. We could come up with a list of topics as the meeting draws nearer and decide on site as to which we wanted to tackle.
|-
| Debug uDig Trunk
| uDig trunk was moved to GeoTools trunk some time ago but the changes were major and many bugs still exist. Styling for example still doesn't work
|-
| Simple Feature
| GeoTools is doing a cross project code sprint and will need a uDig developer to update our trunk to SimpleFeature
|-
| Better GRASS compatibility
| better GRASS compatibility through JGrass
|-
| Wizard and DND
| Separate catalog wizards and Drag and Drop code to simplify both problems
|-
| Rendering
| Rendering has been in need of an overhaul for quite some time. Lets fix it
|-
| Remove Cruft
| Lets comb the code base and get rid of some of the ugly/unused
|-
| 3D visualization
| let's talk a bit about 3D, jogl, jirr and other nasty things and udig
|-
| Italian translation of uDig
| I know this is rather utopic, but you never know :)
|-
| Definition of a portable workspace
| UDig should have the possibility to export the workspace, either automagically or even by just moving a folder from one user to the other. It's about relative paths, about copying data eventually into the workspace and things like that. I believe this is a critical problem for usability. Should remember to isolate username/password information as well.
