Purpose

The GeoServer web administration console is built on top of the Wicket 1.4.x series, which is pretty old and unmaintaned. The purpose of the sprint is to update it to Wicket 7.x, the current stable version.

Upgrade from Wicket 1.3 to Wicket 7

Due to the large distance between the two releases and the number of backwards incompatible changes accumulated by Wicket in the years this will require the concerted effort of a handful of developers over a few days, including the changes to upgrade the code, and the thorough hand testing of the resulting modified interface.

Sponsors

We would like to extend our thanks to the following sponsors:

Organizers

  • Jody Garnett - Boundless
  • Andrea Aime - GeoSolutions

Venue and dates

The code sprint will be held in Victoria BC to minimize travel costs. Boundless has offered to provide a venue (either the Boundless Victoria offices or a local technology centre).

The date is tentatively set for the week of January 18th.

This date is selected towards of the GeoServer 2.9 release cycle prior to the code freeze in February, keeping resource availability in mind.

Accommodation and costs

Participants should plan the travel, accommodation and meals.

  • Depending on sponsorship level guests to Victoria will be hosted at or billeted with local community.
  • At the time of writing accommodation for four guests is available (thanks to Jody Garnett and Martin Davis).

We hope to raise enough financial support to cover overseas travel, and possibly meals.

Sponsorship

We have the following sponsorship levels:

Gold $1000 CAD $720 USD €656 EUR
Silver $500 CAD $360 USD €328 EUR
Bronze $250 CAD $180 USD €164 EUR
Beer In-kind contributions are graciously accepted

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for overseas sprinters who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

  • Your logo at the top of this page
  • Mention in all of our public communication, including GeoServer 2.9 release announcement
  • Our gratitude :)

For more information on sponsorship, please contact Jody Garnett, Andrea Amie or the OSGeo Treasurer.

How to Sponsor

  1. Navigate to the OSGeo website
  2. Click on the "Donate" button in the top right corner
  3. Donations are handled through PayPal, when making the donation be sure to:
    • Check the currency (USD rates are provided above)
    • Use the "Add special instructions to the seller" field on the confirmation page to mention the event (example "GeoServer code sprint sponsorship")
    • To make alternative arrangements contact OSGeo Treasurer
  4. The OSGeo Treasurer will contact both you and the event organizers to acknowledge your sponsorship
    • Please have a logo ready for your organization if you wish to be acknowledged publicly
    • Your event sponsorship, at your request, can contribute towards being recognized as an OSGeo sponsor

Sponsorship Outreach

We are reaching out to organizations to see if there is interest in sponsorship:

  • International organizations (OSGeo, Boundless, GeoSolutions);
  • Local organizations (BC Government, Refractions, Vivid Solutions)

If there is a lot of local sponsorship we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).
