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.

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.
