SPECIAL BULLETIN

If you have not found accommodation under $200 or would like to have a roomie, please contact Leo at lr at pcorp.us now. You will still find great values on Hotwire or Price Line. Deluxe accommodation starts around $120. Luxury starts around $170. Act fast!

If you have special dietary requirements, please contact Leo at lr at pcorp.us. Otherwise be expected to consume land animals, sea creatures, and vegetation.

Purpose

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial problems (as done last year at the IslandWood Code Sprint 2012 and previous years: Montreal (2011), New York City (2010), and Toronto (2009)). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, MapServer, 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.

We have started a Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda page for preliminary planning of tasks.

Hotel

We've decided not to get a block of rooms because it seems it is pricier than having people pick the hotel they like best. There are over a dozen hotels name-brand and boutique within walking, all rated above three stars. Should you have specific questions, feel free to email us directly: lr at pcorp.us. We’ll help you find the perfect accommodation.

Our recommendation is to book your own room via Hotwire or Priceline.

For Hotwire, any hotel in the Financial District will be within walking distance. For Price Line, any hotel within a half mile of 1 DEVONSHIRE PL BOSTON MA 02109 will be within walking distance.

Costs

Participants should plan for the following costs:

Travel to Boston
Accommodation for three nights
Breakfast and dinner

Project Plans

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 20-30. Please add your name and the projects you are hoping to sprint and note the likeliness of your attendance.

Indicate if you have already finalized accommodation and travel arrangements.

- Yes, a coding, testing 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.
Will there be presentation time to show case innovative uses of technology?
- Yes, Sponsors and sprinters actively working on projects will have their moment of glory

Extracurricular Activities

Each sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.
-Sponsors get the following benefits:
-* Your banner at the top of this page
-* 30-minute slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS (first come first serve)
-* Get to sit with us at the sprint and have input in project road map of an OSGeo project you are interested in
-* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it. Remember that feature you wanted in X :)
-* The good feeling that you have contributed to the FOSS GIS movement (priceless and good for the health too)
