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 even if it means putting off til 2.1)
• 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
• Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
• 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
• shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)

   while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808 
    got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

• Incubation issues -- not fun stuff, but if credits on each file or separate file, code review etc.

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

• Discussions
  • hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
  • mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
  • 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
  • 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.

• Technical support / Infrastructure
  • Get hg access for all sprint participants
  • Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
  • hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
  • Add CMake detection for MG4
  • test harness for the command line apps

• Development
  • Crib up the text, MG4, and BAG drivers
  • Add MG4/L support to libPC
  • Plan for adding octree libpc::Stage
  • finish the native LAS driver
  • flesh out the dump routines for each major class
  • light up pcinfo

TinyOWS

• MapFile parser, to allow a single configuration file for both MapServer and TinyOWS.
