Back to FOSS4G2008...
Date and Organizing Contacts
Date: Saturday 4 October 2008 We have decided to do this on the Saturday so 'sprinters' don't miss any workshops or socialising during the week.
Venue: Cape Town City Council offices
Organising Contact: Tim Sutton
Contact Email: tim@linfiniti.com
Procedure
Read the sections below which provide some background. If you would like to hold a code sprint, add your name (as coordinator) and project name below, then create a detailed project sprint section below. The project sprint section should include some or all of the following details:
- Attending - a list of people who plan to attend
- Goals - a brief list of the things you hope to achieve and plan to work on during your sprint session
- Preparation (optional) - a list of items that should be taken care of before the code sprint so that the appropriate groundwork is in place
- Out of scope (optional) - items that will not be in scope for the sprint session
If you are planning to attend the code sprint, please add your name to the relevant project sprint section below.
All sprint attendees it will be a good idea to subscribe to this page by ticking the 'watch this page' box at the bottom of the page so that you can be updated if there are any changes in arrangements.
Interested to organize a code sprint
- Markus Neteler: GRASS GIS
- Andrea Antonello: JGrass / uDig
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...
Rooms
One or more of these rooms will be used for the code sprint depending on turn out.
Motivation and Direction
A day, a code base, and your imagination?
On the Saturday after the conference, a 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:
