== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012),
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGIS, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). 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 City of Vienna MA 14 gladly provides the location for the Vienna Code Sprint for up to 60 sprinters in [http://www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan/grafik.aspx?lang=de-AT&bookmark=zHClRv95TUbsTHFEFcAeRO5RphlRnHnkur2pH4Oprw-b-b&bmadr=25723751 their very new office called STAR 22] (see also [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.22910&mlon=16.45660#map=19/48.22910/16.45660 OSM map]).

The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.

'''Directions'''

From the airport take the train S-Bahn S7 going to Wien Floridsdorf and exit
at Praterstern (~30min). Make sure to avoid the CAT as it doesn't bring you
to Praterstern and I consider it too costly for gaining just 10 minutes.

From Praterstern take the subway U-Bahn U2 going to Seestadt and exit at
Stadlau. Now either take a 15 minutes walk to the venue or take the bus
Autobus 86A going to Breitenleer Straße/Arnikaweg or 87A going to
Hermann-Gebauer-Straße and exit at Genochplatz.

From Praterstern instead of the U2 you can also take the subway U-Bahn U1
particularly when going to the Hotel Hillinger. Take the U1 going to
Leopoldau and exit at Kagran. Now take the tram Straßenbahn 25 going to
Oberdorfstraße or the bus Autobus 26A going to Großenzersdorf and exit at
Polgarstraße for the Hotel Hillinger or continue to Konstanziagasse for the
code sprint venue.

== Dates and Times ==

March 24-28 2014

Note: March 19-21 FOSSGIS Berlin

Duration: Full week

== Agenda ==

=== Sunday Ice Breaker ===

If you're in Vienna already on Sunday you're invited to join us for a small
ice breaker starting from 7pm at Green - Cafe-Wok-Grill-Restaurant which is
located next to the sprint venue. You will see the signs when you enter the
plaza of Star22.

=== Project Plans ===

On Monday we will start 9ish with some sort of "official" opening around 10.

== Hotel ==

Two blocks of rooms have been negotiated at the two hotels closest to the sprint venue, [http://www.hillinger.at Hotel Hillinger] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.23133/16.45037 map]) and [http://www.wienerkindl.at Hotel Wiener Kindl] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.22757/16.45428 map]). Please make your own choice.

The rooms are blocked for the sprint week i.e. 24.-28. March 2014 whereas +/- one day should be no problem.

Please find the lists of available rooms below. If you make a reservation for one of the listed rooms please indicate this by adding your name to the list. Thanks.

* Accommodation for four nights
* Breakfast and dinner (partly)

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint
* IRC chat during the event: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net

== Participants ==

We are planning for attendance of 50-60 participants. Please add your name and the projects
you are hoping to sprint and note the likeliness of your attendance as well as
any special needs.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets AC power connector adapter] if needed (Austria {{wikipedia|File:Schuko_plug_and_socket.png|CEE 7/4 (German "Schuko")(Type F)}})
* Install git, subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible

== FAQ ==

* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?
** 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?
** While this is not a presentation-oriented event like FOSS4G, there will be the possibility to have presentations. There are plans to get a dedicated room with beamer.

== Social Activities ==

=== Welcome party ===

In the evening of the first day of the sprint we will invite all sprinters to a big welcome party. More details shall not be revealed yet but we try to make it a memorable event.

=== Guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance" ===

On Wednesday evening we invite interested participants to a guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance". An on-site registration will be needed due to a limit number of 25 places.

The downtown tour introduces the imperial city, Vienna´s great history, its unique architecture, and todays life-style.

Meeting in front of St. Stephen´s Cathedral, Vienna’s main 900 years old landmark, we will stroll along Graben and Kohlmarkt, passing former court confectionary Demel and the most exclusive shops in Vienna. Crossing the courtyards of the Imperial Palace "Hofburg" you will hear about the great times of former Austrian monarchy, see where Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) married Emperor Franz Joseph, where the Vienna Boys’ Choir sings mass on Sunday, and where the famous white Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform. You will enjoy the great view from Heroes Square to some of the magnificent buildings of the famous Ringstraße. We will continue walking towards State Opera and the legendary hotel Sacher and will end the tour at Albertinaplatz.

=== Skiing ===

We will leave Vienna early on Saturday to go to [http://openrouteservice.org/index.php?start=16.4564156,48.2295225&end=13.7795834,47.4114987&pref=Fastest&lang=de&noMotorways=false&noTollways=false Haus im Ennstal] for skiing. In the evening we will visit an [http://www.hauser-kaibling.at/de/events/events2014/open_air_2014.htm open air concert] and return on Sunday.

Please contact [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]] if you're interested.

== Individual Preparation ==

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

== FAQ ==

* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?
** 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?
** While this is not a presentation-oriented event like FOSS4G, there will be the possibility to have presentations. There are plans to get a dedicated room with beamer.

== Social Activities ==

=== Welcome party ===

In the evening of the first day of the sprint we will invite all sprinters to a big welcome party. More details shall not be revealed yet but we try to make it a memorable event.

=== Guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance" ===

On Wednesday evening we invite interested participants to a guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance". An on-site registration will be needed due to a limit number of 25 places.

The downtown tour introduces the imperial city, Vienna´s great history, its unique architecture, and todays life-style.

Meeting in front of St. Stephen´s Cathedral, Vienna’s main 900 years old landmark, we will stroll along Graben and Kohlmarkt, passing former court confectionary Demel and the most exclusive shops in Vienna. Crossing the courtyards of the Imperial Palace "Hofburg" you will hear about the great times of former Austrian monarchy, see where Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) married Emperor Franz Joseph, where the Vienna Boys’ Choir sings mass on Sunday, and where the famous white Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform. You will enjoy the great view from Heroes Square to some of the magnificent buildings of the famous Ringstraße. We will continue walking towards State Opera and the legendary hotel Sacher and will end the tour at Albertinaplatz.

=== Skiing ===

We will leave Vienna early on Saturday to go to [http://openrouteservice.org/index.php?start=16.4564156,48.2295225&end=13.7795834,47.4114987&pref=Fastest&lang=de&noMotorways=false&noTollways=false Haus im Ennstal] for skiing. In the evening we will visit an [http://www.hauser-kaibling.at/de/events/events2014/open_air_2014.htm open air concert] and return on Sunday.

Please contact [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]] if you're interested.

Regisztráljatok az [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Main_Page OSGeo.org Wiki] oldalán és írjátok fel a neveteket az oldal szerkesztésével.

== 2014. évi tervek ==
Az 2014 évben jó lenne, ha a magyar nyelvű csoport (alias Foszfor Gézu) előre tudna lépni. A következők végrehajtásához keresek segítőtársakat, a sorrend nem tükrözi feltétlenül a fontossági sorrendet:

# Hivatalos magyar nyelvű OSGeo csoport létrehozása
# FOSS4G oktatóközpont kialakítása a BME-n
# Munkaértekezlet(ek) szervezése
# Szabad adatokból WMS/WFS szolgáltatások létrehozása
# Honlapok magyarítása (osgeo.org, qgis.org, stb.), szoftverek magyarítása, fordító hétvégék szervezése
# Magyar nyelvű segédletek, oktatóanyagok, videók készítése
# FOSS4G címszavak létrehozása a magyar Wikipedia oldalon
# Debreceni konferencián FOSS4G szekció létrehozása
# Rendszeres Foszfor Gézu sörözések
# Brémai FOSS4G 2014 konferencián részvétel

Az első lépés az lehetne, hogy regisztráljatok az osgeo.org oldalon, ezzel OSGeo tagokká váltok.

Regisztráljatok a www.linkedin.com oldalon és használjátok az OSGeo Hungarian Interest Group-ot (http://www.linkedin.com/groups/OSGEO-Hungary-Interest-Group-4858400), a név ellenére magyar nyelven folyik az eszmecsere.

További ötleteket is várok tőletek.

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012),
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). 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 City of Vienna MA 14 gladly provides the location for the Vienna Code Sprint for up to 60 sprinters in [http://www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan/grafik.aspx?lang=de-AT&bookmark=zHClRv95TUbsTHFEFcAeRO5RphlRnHnkur2pH4Oprw-b-b&bmadr=25723751 their very new office called STAR 22].

The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.

== Dates and Times ==

March 24-28 2014

Note: March 19-21 FOSSGIS Berlin

Duration: Full week

== Agenda ==

TBD

== Hotel ==

Two blocks of rooms have been negotiated at the two hotels closest to the sprint venue, [http://www.hillinger.at Hotel Hillinger] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.23133/16.45037 map]) and [http://www.wienerkindl.at Hotel Wiener Kindl] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.22757/16.45428 map]).

== Individual Preparation ==

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

== FAQ ==

* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?
** 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 Activities ==

TBD

Ideas
* Skiing: The idea is to find a not too far away place the weekend after the sprint. Please add your name if you're interested: [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]]

Isn't it a bit late for skiing at this time of the year in eastern Austria?

== Sponsors ==

We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: €1500+, Silver: €1000, Bronze: €500

We encourage sponsors (€500+) to support nutriment and entertainment for the
sprinters as they work hard and play hard for five productive days.
Contributions will be put towards lunch, snacks, and dinner costs for the
sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable
to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or
used for a future code sprint.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo or portrait at the top of this page
* 30-min slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS at the sprint
* Get to stare at us during the sprint and voice your input in person
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)

To sponsor, please contact Stephan Meissl (stephan.meissl at eox dot at) directly.

FOSS4G 2013 Code Sprint

2013-08-29T21:42:11Z

Wiki-Szekerest: /* MapServer */

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

A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

== Where & When ==

[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.938804&lon=-1.203427&zoom=18&layers=M East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, UK].

The day after the main conference (Sunday 22nd September) has been set aside for the Code Sprint. There is also a plan to provide facilities throughout the event in the main venue.

We also have a hackathon running on 17th & 18th September which is also free to attend. See the [http://2013.foss4g.org/geohack/ geohack pages] for details.

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!

BuildBot Configuration

2009-01-01T23:57:53Z

Wiki-Szekerest: /* BuildBot Administration */

This document attempts to discuss configuration details of the BuildBot system for OSGeo projects.

= About BuildBot =

The BuildBot is a system to automate the build and test cycle during a software development process.

BuildBot homepage: http://buildbot.net/

Thanks to Howard Butler's installation of BuildBot, we've been able to test it with some of Open Source GIS projects for a few months.

After these tests, we've found that:

*BuildBot works very well
*BuildBot has a very positive effect on the development of the projects
*BuildBot an important communication channel about compilation and testing issues
*BuildBot helps developers and users to observe a cycle of development in details
*BuildBot decreases time needed to compile and test changes in a multiplatform environment

The '''main objective''' of this initiative is to install and configure BuildBot instances for the OSGeo projects.

= BuildBot Administration =

The prototype infrastructure configuration and testing started by:

* [[User:Mloskot|Mateusz Loskot]]
* [[User:Ajolma|Ari Jolma]]
* [[User:Hobu|Howard Butler]]
* [[User:Frank_Warmerdam|Frank Warmerdam]]
* [[User:Szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

''(add info about administration policies, tasks responsibility, for the OSGeo BuildBot)''

= BuildBot Configuration =

Following section describes details of BuildBot infrastructure configuration hosted on one of the OSGeo servers.

== Server ==

The OSGeo BuildBot Master is hosted on one of the [[SAC_Service_Status#Telascience_Blades|Telascience Blades]]:

* Hostname: xblade14-2
* IP: 198.202.74.219

''(add / link to details about installed development software and versions)''

Telascience xblade11-2 (198.202.74.216) is allocated for buildbot slaves. Some slaves are also setup on xblade14-2 though we are avoiding adding more there if possible.

== Basic concepts ==

The BuildBot [http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/manual-0.7.4.html#System-Architecture system architecture] is based on two base concepts:

*buildmaster - the brain, controls single instance of BuildBot
*buildslave - the worker controlled by the buildmaster, performs all steps defined for a build

Selected [[#Server|server]] hosts all instances of the OSGeo BuildBot infrastructure.

A single instance of BuildBot, running on the OSGeo [[#Server|server]], consists of single buildmaster and single buildslave.

Development team of particular project is able to connect more buildslaves running on separate machines, remotely. Buildslaves are connected to the buildmaster in a star topology. They connect to the buildmaster over a TCP connection to a publically-visible port (See Buildmaster ports section).

Every project gets its own instance of the OSGeo BuildBot and can connect various external buildslaves.

''(add picture showing visualizing the structure of the OSGeo BuildBot infrastructure''

== BuildBot user ==

* BuildBot runs as user (also see [[#User_Security|User Security]] section)

buildbot

* Home directory for ''buildbot'' user points to:

/home/buildbot

=== User security ===

''buildbot'' is a normal Linux user with LDAP account.

The access is secured with password.

If you need access to ''buildbot'' user privileges, please contact [[#BuildBot_Administration|OSGeo BuildBot administrators]].

== OSGEOBUILDHOME ==

All BuildBot instances live in common home directory:

/osgeo/buildbot

* ''buildbot'' user references to BuildBot instances using OSGEOBUILDHOME variable:

OSGEOBUILDHOME=/home/buildbot

* BuildBot software (Python module) has been installed to:

PYTHONPATH=$OSGEOBUILDHOME/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages

See [[#BuildBot_directories|BuildBot directories]] section for details about OSGEOBUILDHOME environment variable.

== BuildBot directories ==

Following subsection explains directories layout used by the OSGeo BuildBot infrastructure.

*BuildBot infrastructure base directory (later referenced as OSGEOBUILDHOME):

/osgeo/buildbot

*BuildBot software (Python 2.4 packages) installation prefix:

/osgeo/buildbot/usr

== BuildBot web page ==

''(configure HTTP servers and DNS for the BuildBot on the OSGeo servers)''

The main URL of the OSGeo BuildBot is

http://buildbot.osgeo.org

It's dedicated to:

*list existing BuildBot instances used by OSGeo projects
*list URLs to BuildBot status pages

'''NOTE:''' The BuildBot web page is not yet accessible. Subdomain has not been set up yet, etc.

=== BuildBot instance per project ===

*Base directory for BuildBot instance for one project:

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/<projectname>

where ''<projectname>'' is a placeholder for lower-case name of a project.

This path represents directory for single instance of the OSGeo BuildBot used by particular project.

Next, inside a project BuildBot instance directory, we have:

*buildmaster

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/<projectname>/buildmaster

*buildslave

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/<projectname>/buildslave

*The BuildBot status page for particular project can be accessed through:

http://buildbot.osgeo.org/<projectname>/

or using address schema as URL:PORT:

http://buildbot.osgeo.org:PORT

'''NOTE:''' See note about inaccessibility of the [[BuildBot_Configuration#BuildBot_web_page|BuildBot web page]].

==== GDAL BuildBot example ====

The OSGeo BuildBot instance for GDAL project (let's call it GDAL BuildBot) is hosted inside the:

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/gdal

what expands to following path:

/osgeo/buildbot/gdal

The GDAL BuildBot uses single instance the buildmaster:

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/gdal/buildmaster

and single instance of the buildslave, local one:

$OSGEOBUILDHOME/gdal/buildslave

Next, GDAL developers can connect remote buildslaves hosted on various platforms, for exmaple on Mac OS. All buildslaves (one local and N number of remote slaves) are controlled by the GDAL BuildBot buildmaster.

The GDAL BuildBot status page URL is:

http://buildbot.osgeo.org/gdal/

or

http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500

== Buildmaster ports ==

This section explains details of TCP connection ports configuration for buildmaster instances.

Buildmaster of every OSGeo BuildBot instance is configured using two TCP ports:

*one, to listen on for connections from buildslaves - '''SLAVEPORT'''
*second, used by internal web server to listen on for connection from Web clients requesting for the BUildBot status web page - '''HTTPPORT'''

The OSGeo BuildBot infrastructure uses following scheme to assign BuildBot instances with TCP ports:

*Port number '''XXYY''', where
**'''XX''' identifies port category: SLAVEPORT uses 15 (15YY) and HTTPPORT uses 85 (85YY)
**'''YY''' identifies particular instance of the OSGeo BuildBot, a project

*SLAVEPORT ports start from '''1500''' and HTTPPORT ports start from '''8500'''

*Both ports, SLAVEPORT and HTTPPORT, incement simultaneously, for example:

project A uses 1501 and 8501, where 01 is the instance (project) identifier

project B uses 1527 and 8527, where 27 is the instance (project) identifier

*According to this scheme, there is a room for 100 instances of the OSGeo BuildBot (shortly, 100 OSGeo projects).

= BuildBot Startup =

On xblade14-2 machine, all Buildbot instances are configured to start on boot. This dedicated entry in crontab for ''buildbot'' user on xblade14-2:

$ crontab -l
OSGEOBUILDHOME=/osgeo/buildbot
# On Boot, clean Buildbot logs and start all instances
@reboot $OSGEOBUILDHOME/buildbot_clean_logs.sh

= BuildBot Maintenance =

== Start Buildbot Instance Manually ==

$ cd $OSGEOBUILDHOME
$ ./buildbot_start.sh <INSTANCE DIR>

where <INSTANCE DIR> is name (absolute or relative path) of a Buildbot instance directory. For example, command to start GDAL Buildbot is:

$ ./buildbot_start.sh gdal

== Stop Buildbot Instance Manually ==

$ cd $OSGEOBUILDHOME
$ ./buildbot_stop.sh <INSTANCE DIR>

where <INSTANCE DIR> is name (absolute or relative path) of a Buildbot instance directory. For example, command to stop PROJ.4 Buildbot is:

$ ./buildbot_stop.sh proj.4

== Restart Buildbot Instance Manually ==

$ cd $OSGEOBUILDHOME
$ ./buildbot_restart.sh <INSTANCE DIR>

It's also possible to restart all instances at once:

$ login to buildbot.osgeo.org.
$ sudo su buildbot
$ cd /osgeo/buildbot
$ ./restartall.sh

== Logs Cleanup ==

Sometimes, logs and generated files take a lot of disk space. There is a script dedicated to do cleanup for all configured and active Buildbot instances on the xblade14-2 machine. In order clean all logs of all Buildbot instances, run following script as ''buildbot'' user:

$ cd $OSGEOBUILDHOME
$ ./buildbot_clean_logs.sh

= Additional features proposal =

* Builds status delivery on [http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/manual-0.7.5.html#Email-Addresses e-mail] or [http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/manual-0.7.5.html#IRC-Nicknames IRC channel]
* Automatic [http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/manual-0.7.5.html#Change-Sources monitoring of source changes], so builds can be automatically triggered by commits

= OSGeo BuildBot Documentation =

''(following documents need to be written)''

* All activated [[#BuildBot_instance_per_project|OSGeo BuildBot instances]] are listed here http://buildbot.osgeo.org/

==About The Program==
===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?===

In order to minimize the likelyhood of disappearing students we will ensure that the OSGeo administrative contact and the mentor have full contact information (email, home phone, etc) so that we can keep in touch with them.

In addition, we will make our reporting requirements clear up front. Letting the students know that we will require weekly progress reports, participation on public IRC channels and mailing lists will all help ensure ongoing commitment to the work.

===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?===
Project steering committees will appoint replacement mentors if existing mentors become unavailable or unresponsive during the project period. Where possible we also plan to have backup mentors for projects so the backup mentor can fill in for, or replace the mentor in case of changing circumstances.

===What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project has asked for weekly attendence at IRC meetings or status email.

Further more the mentors are encouraged to actively involve the students in the community, but having the student interact with the mentor through the community channels rather then directly.

Other possibilities include:
# Having potential students work with their potential mentor to prepare a brief plan for the implementation of their project.
# Setting milestones that need to be reached by the student. These milestones would be defined before the student's work begins. A student would subsequently write a brief e-mail informing the appropriate OSGeo or project-specific mailing list when they have reached a milestone, giving a brief description of the work completed to that date.
# Selecting students that have shown interest previously in the geospatial field.

===What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project asked that students act as a "module maintainer" for their work. This role has an expected level of support associated with it.

Apart from that, we are relying on the open development process and the appreciation that students will receive for implementing these needed features to provide positive feedback for the students. The projects will be encouraging the students to take ownership of their work, and to contribute in other areas they may be interested in. In some cases students may also have opportunities for future contract work if they make a good impression on community members.

* [http://geoinformatics.tkk.fi/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeoinformaticaSoftware Geoinformatica stack] (contains GTK, Perl, GDAL, GDAL-Perl, GTK-Perl, etc) (committed, Ari)

More detailed information on specific packages is available on the [[OSGeo4W Packages]] wiki page.

== Participants ==

(interested package maintainers please add your name below!)

* Jeff McKenna: MS4W Maintainer
* Frank Warmerdam: FWTools
* Mateusz Loskot: maintain GDAL related components
* Yewondwossen Assefa: MapServer core
* Ari Jolma: Geoinformatica stack
* Tamas Szekeres: GDAL C#, MapScript C#, Win64 packages

== Upcoming Work Priorities ==

* look into packaging (download packages directly from server...)
* mailing list setup (done)
* put initial structure into OSGeo SVN
* look into sponsors from organizations

== Timelime ==

* base structure intact by April 2008

== Long-Term Plan ==

* select a Project Steering Committee
* enter incubation as an OSGeo project

== Licensing ==

* are there any licensing issues with the proposed packages?

== Technical Notes ==

* existing MS4W NSIS installer [http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=ms4w-2.2.6.nsi.txt script]
* existing PostGIS NSIS installer [http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/source/pg82/postgis-pg82-1.3.2-installersrc.zip script]
* existing FWTools NSIS installer [[Fwtools.nsi|script]]
* Paul Ramsey notes that for installation in corporate environments it can be very helpful to provide MSI files, and to support non-interactive distribution.
* Markus Neteler mentioned that 6.3.0 winGRASS is now in RC1 ([http://geog-pc40.ulb.ac.be/grass/wingrass/ download]) and also included in QGIS 0.9.0

=== Installer Creation Software ===

* several projects use [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] (Quantum GIS, PostGIS, FWTools, MS4W, ...)
* would make sense to use what we know (NSIS) and share
* The Cygwin Setup program could be modified for use as OSGeo4W installer ([http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe working prototype]) with [[OSGeo4W Packaging]] details and existing [[OSGeo4W Packages]].

=== Build Environment ===

* MSVC 7.1 currently used (by MapServer buildkit, FWTools)
* possibly time to upgrade buildkit to 2005 (since a free version available, "Express")
* Win64 and the C# stuff will be built using VS2005
* what about MSYS support?
* have a Windows VM on telascience ??
* also should segment from massive buildkit
* include build library files (header files, similar to how FWTools does currently)
** offer as developer components??

=== Custom Scripting in Installer ===

* BAT files for sure
* Perhaps we could depend on PHP can be used for post-install custom scripting if we consider this a base requirement.

=== Versions ===

* must pick our supported version of PHP, Python, etc. to use throughout installer buildkit

== MS4W ==

As a followon to MS4W the following are expected/required:

* Apache
** install into any directory
** allow user to specify port to use
* MapServer
** SDE, Oracle plugins
** Mapscript: PHP, Java, Python, C#, Perl
** AGG
* All existing MS4W packages and utilities:

MapServer 2008 SOC Ideas

2008-03-01T19:53:15Z

Wiki-Szekerest:

= MapServer 2008 SoC Ideas =

Enter ideas for development projects here. Note these are just suggestions - students are welcome to propose projects based on their own interests that relate to MapServer.

== Support for reading SVG symbols ==

Add support for SVG as an alternate method to define vector symbols in a MapServer symbolset.

== Other Ideas: ==

The following MapServer-dev thread outlines a few possible ideas, without providing much details:
[[http://www.nabble.com/Google-Summer-of-Code-Ideas-tf3370598.html http://www.nabble.com/Google-Summer-of-Code-Ideas-tf3370598.html]]

== Performance improvements for labelcache and MINDISTANCE processing ==

This is a proposal to redesign the labelcache processing from an O(N*N) process to an O(N) process. It would use a raster buffer for label collision detection and has the possibility for some other spin-off features like label placement with avoidance. Below is a draft RFC Proposal for this feature that provides more information.

[[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2007-October/004454.html RFC Proposal]]

== Tilted Prespective Map View similar to that used in many GPS devices ==

A discussion of this was had in February on the Mapserver-Dev list, see the link below. There clearly is interest in supporting this but it needs some additional discussion, research and an appropriate sizing to a SoC task. On the trivial side it might be as simple as figuring out how to make mapserver work with proj4 parameters, which is clearly not a SoC project. On the other side it might mean implementing another render within mapserver what has a lot of cool features and my be larger in scope than a SoC project.

[[http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573 http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-3d-image-like-GPS-device--td15713573.html#a15713573]]

== Output Support for KML ==

== Binary persistence support ==

This addition requires to develop a binary writer/reader implementation to serialize/deserialize the mapscript objects individually and to support reading/writing the entire mapfile in binary format. This option would result in a performance increment when loading the mapfiles and avoid the parser lock for the multi-threaded applications. The implementor should also create a console application to support converting between the current and the binary mapfile formats.

== MapScript C# multithreaded test environment ==

The student should create a multithreaded C# test application that would provide automated execution of various pluggable mapscript tests by simulating an ASP.NET style multithreading environment. The application would allow to specify various test parameters like the thread pool size, test execution sequence and timings. The student should implement a fair amount of mapscript test cases to cover the most fundamental parts of the API.

= Mentor Candidates =

The following individuals are potentially willing to serve as MapServer mentors or co-mentors.

* Frank Warmerdam
* Stephen Woodbridge
* Stephen Lime (KML and label cache improvements)
* Assefa Yewondwossen (KML)
* Tamas Szekeres (binary persistence, C# multithreaded tests)

FOSS4G2007 Session Chairs

2007-08-19T22:58:15Z

Wiki-Szekerest: /* 13:00 to 14:30 */

'''Back to [[FOSS4G2007]] ...'''

Session chairs serve as the "master of ceremonies" for one 90 minute session of presentations. Each session has three 25 minute presentations, with a 5 minute question-and-answer period after each. Chairs are expected to:
* introduce the speakers,
* ensure each speaker stays within his or her 30 minute combined presentations-plus-questions presentation limit,
* ensure the next presentation starts promptly as scheduled, and
* occasionally read off a few reminders and announcements at the end of the session.

Please add your name and email to one or more of the time slots below.

'''We need 5 session chairs for each time slot.'''

Check to ensure you are not presenting or teaching a lab during the session timeslot you are volunteering for.

FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint

2007-06-01T15:08:34Z

Wiki-Szekerest: /* 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 ===

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

=== Goals ===

* To flesh out issue X until it works right.

== GRASS ==

=== Attending ===

=== Goals ===

* Hack session

== GDAL / Mapserver ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:Mloskot|Mateusz Loskot]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

=== Goals ===

== 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]]

== OpenLayers ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:crschmidt|Chris Schmidt]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]

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

== QGIS ==
=== Attending ===
* [[User:Gsherman|Gary Sherman]]
* [[User:Aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]

=== 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

== 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.

| I come from the Java side of the OSGeo fence, getting my start in GeoServer, where I was lead developer for a couple years, and GeoTools, where I still serve on the PMC. My time is made possible by [http://topp.openplans.org The Open Planning Project (TOPP)], a great non-profit in New York that has been the lead supporter of GeoServer for years now. I spent the last year in Zambia on a Fulbright Scholarship, looking at the potential for open source software to help implement spatial data infrastructures in developing countries. It was a bit of a failure, but I learned a ton, and I see a lot of potential for open source in developing countries, towards truly open spatial data infrastructures. I'm back at TOPP, in a new role as VP of Strategic Development, helping to grow the organization, and figuring out how to make our geospatial stuff self sustaining. Once that's rolling, I hope to reinvest extra revenue in to figuring out and building a truly open geospatial web. And just like apache and linux are the bedrock that the World Wide Web rests on, so too do I believe that the geospatial web necessarily must be built on a foundation of OS Geo software. My continuing thoughts on all of this can be found at http://cholmes.wordpress.com

| A physicist/geophysicist/geological engineer who has used GRASS since 1987, and on the GRASS Interagency Steering Committee for the original public-domain package. I wrote the Linux Mini-HOWTO on GRASS-GIS (which is now woefully out of date); and taught short courses in scientific (as opposed to cartographic) GIS since 1980. In 1994 I moved my teaching to the Web, developing the CyberInstitute Short-Course on GIS. Currently, I'm at UN ESCAP. Open-Source is a great capacity- building environment for software communities worldwide. In developing countries, rather than being stuck merely teaching people to cut and paste stuff within a proprietary office suite, you can be part of the full development team, customizing the software to your community's needs, helping your country to have its own software development community - and hopefully making a satisfying living in the process.

| I come from the Java side of the OSGeo fence, getting my start in GeoServer, where I was lead developer for a couple years, and GeoTools, where I still serve on the PMC. My time is made possible by [http://topp.openplans.org The Open Planning Project (TOPP)], a great non-profit in New York that has been the lead supporter of GeoServer for years now. I spent the last year in Zambia on a Fulbright Scholarship, looking at the potential for open source software to help implement spatial data infrastructures in developing countries. It was a bit of a failure, but I learned a ton, and I see a lot of potential for open source in developing countries, towards truly open spatial data infrastructures. I'm back at TOPP, in a new role as VP of Strategic Development, helping to grow the organization, and figuring out how to make our geospatial stuff self sustaining. Once that's rolling, I hope to reinvest extra revenue in to figuring out and building a truly open geospatial web. And just like apache and linux are the bedrock that the World Wide Web rests on, so too do I believe that the geospatial web necessarily must be built on a foundation of OS Geo software. My continuing thoughts on all of this can be found at http://cholmes.wordpress.com

| A physicist/geophysicist/geological engineer who has used GRASS since 1987, and on the GRASS Interagency Steering Committee for the original public-domain package. I wrote the Linux Mini-HOWTO on GRASS-GIS (which is now woefully out of date); and taught short courses in scientific (as opposed to cartographic) GIS since 1980. In 1994 I moved my teaching to the Web, developing the CyberInstitute Short-Course on GIS. Currently, I'm at UN ESCAP. Open-Source is a great capacity- building environment for software communities worldwide. In developing countries, rather than being stuck merely teaching people to cut and paste stuff within a proprietary office suite, you can be part of the full development team, customizing the software to your community's needs, helping your country to have its own software development community - and hopefully making a satisfying living in the process.
