Montreal Code Sprint 2011 : The Rendez-vous of the Tribes

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

MapServer

• 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
• SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
• rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
• Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)
• Text rendering => always use labelpathobj (thomas)
• rasterBufferObj: premultiplied or not? (thomas, frankw)
• INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
• Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
• layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
• use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
• profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

PostGIS

• 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type)
• 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
• Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
• Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain

PostGIS raster

• Ticket fixes
• ST_SetRotation & ST_Rotation
• pl/pgSQL script fixes
• ST_MapAlgebra optimization & neighbourhood
• ST_Intersection optimization & GDAL Polygonize with real values

GDAL/OGR

• SWIG/Ruby bindings? (JimK)
• Merge the two MrSID Drivers (Raster and Lidar) into one

libLAS

• mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
• hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
• mpg to give a small code walkthrough via projector
• Try to get FrankW to discuss features/failures/successes of both GDAL and OGR's driver models
• Get hg access for all sprint participants
• hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
• Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
• Crib up the text, MG4, and BAG drivers
• Add CMake detection for MG4
• Add MG4/L support to libPC
• Plan for adding octree libpc::Stage
• Investigate and discuss using boost-style traits for class description
• Investigate Point Cloud Library's (PCL) template-driven point classes and their applicability and/or adaptability for libPC.
