Our last code sprint in Bolsena - Italy was in 2022. And this year we are back! The code sprint is planned for an extended period of 14 days, giving all that participate a chance to work and meet a little bit longer.

The OSGeo "Code Sprint" event in Bolsena is in an Italian monastery (see map location), the photos and videos: 2008-video, 2009-video and 2010-video. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery. For what the food concerns, we cook elaborate meals you will definitely enjoy :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The options on offer are:

  1. Participate for 5 days (first or last 5 days of the event) - 600€/person including food and lodging (Excluding VAT)
  2. Participate for the full 14 days - 800€/person including food (except the weekend) and lodging (the whole period) (Excluding VAT).

Food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).

Please contact me if you have questions about this event (Jeroen Ticheler)

How to arrive to the Monastery

By Plane

The closest airports are the Rome airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino). From Rome to the monastery is 135 km approximately.

By Car (from Rome)

There are several options to rent a car on the airports.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.

If you are interested in share vehicle please add your name to the following table and the columns you need for new ideas.

Name I prefer to rent a bus I prefer to share rented car I prefer to get a ride if you have a car I'll go with my car and I have free seats I'll go by train Comments
Sander Schaminee x x In case I cannot share a ride, I'll take the train and try not to leave my luggage in there. Would be nice if someone can pick me up at Orvieto then though.

By Train and Bus

There is no railway to Bolsena. From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train METROPOLITANO FR1 to Roma Termini.

From there you can take the train to Orvieto (https://www.inorvieto.it/) and get a taxi (http://www.orvietotaxi.it) or take the bus. There are 2 buses a day from Orvieto to Bolsena, except on Sunday, there is NO bus on Sunday. More info on https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Orvieto/Bolsena#r/Bus. From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is approximately 1 km (uphill).

Alternatively you can take a bus all the way from Rome to Viterbo and other bus from Viterbo to Bolsena.

On foot

You can walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown here - about 17km if you take the shortest route. :-) You'll need the map as signage along the route can be tricky.

OpenGIS Harmonization

This cross-project activity is going to be the focus of the GeoTools and GeoServer community for 2023. This is a major activity that should involve a bit of fun ... and a lot of work!

Approach:

  1. Replace org.opengis packages used to support geoapi-pending interfaces adopted by the GeoTools project
  2. Generate a search and replace ant script that can be used to update downstream projects
  3. Stretch goal: Roll-back some of the design changed made to participate in the GeoAPI project
  4. The result of this sprint is a *milestone release* of GeoTools, a working branch of GeoWebCache and GeoServer processed by the script.

Development (using issues to communicate with affected projects):


As this is an important activity affecting a lot of projects. With this in mind additional funding and sponsorship is being collected to support this activity.

Sponsoring

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) encourages code sprints for developers of open source GIS software to work together in person as a team, and build up relationships between projects (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).

This sprint is a chance for project teams to work on RnD, maintenance challenges, and any activity which benefits from the quick turn around of in person communication. This is your chance to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software, and participate in the development.

What we can offer:

  • Your logo on top of the sprint website as well as on all official documents used during the sprint
  • Acknowledgement in all sprint related emails

Sponsorship levels:

  • Sponsor: 1000 EUR
  • Sponsor: 500 EUR
