FOSS4G 2016 Code Sprint

2016-04-21T15:50:46Z

Rcoup: Update attendance

== CodeSprint ==

Venue: Bonn, Germany

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.
Unfortunately, circumstances have forced us to divide the codesprint timetable-wise.

'''The first part''' is scheduled to take place directly before the conference, the second immediately after. The first two and a half days start on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at around noon and are scheduled to end on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 (open end). The '''second part''' starts in the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016 and ends on Sunday at 12 pm.

[[Image:Basecamp2.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp3.png|200px|thumb|right]]

We are happy to have found a really '''awesome location''' for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.
Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.

[[Image:Basecamp4.png|200px|thumb|right]]

Another hint: the BaseCamp is within '''walking distance from the conference venue''' (WCCB) and has good access to public transportation – the Icebreaker takes place here, too.
You see, it’s worthwhile booking here!

As the accommodations are available to all FOSS4G participants, we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. For that, it’s necessary for you to sign up (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint) and leave your email address so that we can contact you immediately accomodation booking is available. We need your sign-up for the planning of snacks and drinks, too!

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for project so everyone is cordially invited to attend the codesprints! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in codesprint.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with an approx. 120 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

'''When:'''

FOSS4G 2009 Demonstration Theatre

2009-10-19T16:43:21Z

Rcoup: Updated nikweb preso description

Welcome to the 2009 Demonstration Theatre - a chance to show off what your team or community is capable of (to a willing audience since they are having their coffee).

== Hapless Volunteers ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* You! (add your name to this list to volunteer)

Where possible we will try and have community leaders introduce the members of their community that are offering demos.

= Demo Theatre =

Demo Venue:
* This year we are taking over one of the presentations spaces during the lunch break and afternoon tea.

Demo Facilities:
* We will have two overheads projectors (so one team can set up as another is presenting)

== Demo Schedule ==

The demo schedule is being set now (over the month of August) as it is one of the last things to be placed into the program.

August:
* 3 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Initial email contact
* 10 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Contacted via Phone
September:
* 7 Sep 2009: Community Leaders asked to contact their email lists and FOSS4G Submissions Contacted (Workshops/Tutorials/Presentations)
* 14 Sep 2009: Demo Schedule Finalized
* 21 Sep 2009: Printed Program Deadline

Please keep in mind:
* Primary spots are at the start of Lunch and the afternoon tea break (these time slots have the most walk-by traffic to feed on)
* We will group similar content together (both to allow direct comparison and to let those interested in a topic to mark off a block of time)
* Demos are the last thing to be Scheduled in terms of conference priorities - we do not anticipate any conflicts since we are running in the breaks this year
* If you would like to do a demonstration in the theatre, please contact the theatre coordinator [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* We will open the demo theatre up to sponsors first (they are paying for this party after all) and then to the general community
* When the call goes out it will be first come first served (no fancy attempt to balance the content or match the conference agenda - this is a simple activity)

note: * note a poster session has also been scheduled for this timeslot

= Giving a Demo =

The first step is to have something to demo:
* You have 10 minutes
* You must demo software (really - it is an open source software conference)
* Show us, rather that talk. It is better to show software and leave time for questions than to try and handle this as a presentation.
* Source code is hard to read and does not qualify for "show us"
* You will have 5 mins to set up prior, and 5 mins to tear down. Please be prompt as there is someone waiting to start after you.
* Sponsors (or anyone starting a session): you will have access to the room for a bit before the session starts - if you want to take the time drag in a poster (or put hand outs on the chairs) more power to you.

The second step is to email us:
* [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* Let us know of any schedule constraints (perhaps you are presenting or giving a lab)
* We will get back to you with a timeslot (we will be organizing the demos according to subject matter or community).

== Suggestions ==

Is this your first time doing a demo?
* If you are used to doing presentations; try this approach: Show the software and hand out your presentation in paper form.
* Be excited, what you are showing is *cool* and meeting people like you is why we come to these conferences anyways
* Hang around to the end of the session, many people that would like to ask you questions will be hesitant to walk out of the room to chase you down.

You may also wish to bring:
* Something to hand out (Your business card, demo-CDs, academic papers, t-shirts)

If you would like to have someone introduce you please warn them before hand:
- Your professor? Your company's marketing department? Your open source project lead?

Let people know where to find you:
* For sponsors - be sure to include a slide showing the location of your booth
* For academics - let them know if you have a poster up

== Warning ==

Bring your own laptop, do not expect to install software during your demo (you only have 10 minutes).
* This advice can be ignored if you want to demo the fact you have a slick installer now
* You may wish to make a back up "flash" demo (use http://debugmode.com/wink/ for example) in case the worst happens (THIS IS GOOD ADVICE)
* Turn off virus checkers, ebay bidding tools, email applications and anything else that is going to leap up and ask for attention in an embarrassing manner

With respect to the Internet:
* Ensure you can connect to the wireless network before starting your presentation
* We will try and have a LAN drop for you
* Expect the Internet to be slow (there are a lot of fun toys at a conference like this all of which want their piece of the packet pie)
* Run from a local service installed on your laptop if you can

== Questions ==

==== Is there a PC with Internet? ====

Please bring your own laptop (that way you can be sure it is set up correctly for your demo), there will be a LAN drop (or you can make use of the conference wireless).

==== How long should a demo be? ====

The demo slot is 10 mins, you may want to use the entire time to show your application. Or you may want to show the application for for 5 mins and answer a few questions.

==== Do demo's have to be visual? ====

It depends on what you are showing, if you want to show that "Using JTS Prepaired Geometry is 120% faster" a simple JUnit test and a code example may be all that is needed. If you want to demonstrate an open source compass based on two GPS units you may wish to dance around the room in an entertaining manner.

FOSS4G 2009 Marketing Plan

2008-06-29T23:14:25Z

Rcoup: Added info on NZOSS & the GeoCart'2008 conference

=Summary=
'''Tuesday 17 - Saturday 21 November 2009'''

'''Sydney, Australia'''

FOSS4G, the annual conference attracting the best of Geospatial Open Source users and developers, will meet in Sydney, Australia in 2009. The conference theme, ''User Driven'', will extend the ''gathering of the tribes'' vibe to embrace users and users' case studies.

Specific conference aims:
* To encourage the adoption of Open Source Geospatial Software.
** To facilitate the meeting of the Open Source Geospatial tribes and sharing of information.
** To provide a forum for Open Source Geospatial projects to showcase their products to potential users.
** To allow Geospatial users to be educated in the latest Open Source Geospatial technologies, and practices.

This marketing document identifies key people likely to attend the FOSS4G conference, how to reach them, and what their motivations are for coming. Resulting from this analysis we should tweak our program to ensure it is attractive for our delegates, and focus our marketing efforts to ensure we reach interested delegates.

To brush up on the basics of a Marketing Plan, I suggest skimming over [http://www.quickmba.com/marketing/plan/ Quick MBA Marketing Plan].

=Delegate Demographics=
''This section aims to profile different types of delegates. It should include:''
* ''Description''
* ''Expected percentage of delegates''
* ''What they want''
* ''How to reach them''
* ''Price sensitivity and spending criteria''

==OSGeo Developers (tribes)==
To date, OSGeo has been heralded as the "international gathering of the tribes", each tribe representing a different Open Source project.

These hard core software developers come from around the world.

Contact: Various OSGeo email lists, in particular (discuss A T lists.osgeo.org).

==Geospatial sections of Government departments in Australia==
Australian Geospatial conferences like the Spatial Sciences Institute bi-annual conference draw ~ 800 delegates mainly from Government, Mining and the Utilities sectors. Government sectors have already shown an interest in Geospatial Open Source, and this conference in particular.

Contact: Bruce Bannerman.

==Geospatial sections of Government departments in New Zealand==
Ditto.

Contact: Liz Kolster (?)

==Geospatial sections of Government departments in Asia/Pacific region==

==Australia/New Zealand Open Source Community==
The annual Australian [[http://www.linux.org.au/LCA Linux conference]] attracts ~ 800 people.

The annual [[http://www.osdc.com.au/ Open Source Developers Conference]] attracts ~ 350 people.

These local Open Source developers will likely be interested to learn how they can deploy Geospatial Open Source. They would probably be interested in a general overview of topics, and specific lab sessions where they can get their hands dirty.

Key contact point: Jeff Waugh and Pia Waugh, who will be able to forward onto various email lists, like the Open Source Industry Australia (OSIA) and various Linux Users Groups.

The [http://nzoss.org.nz/ NZ Open Source Society] promotes the use of OSS in New Zealand, and has good contacts into government, business, and the various developer/user communities. Key contact point: Don Christie

==Education==
There has been reasonable interest from Universities and TAFE colleges at Australian geospatial conferences, although it is unclear yet whether there is enough interest to draw delegates to the conference.
