Our last code sprint in Bolsena - Italy was in 2019. '''And this year we are back!''' The code sprint is planned for an extended period of 10 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 [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location]), the [https://www.flickr.com/photos/jodygarnett/sets/72157709238569521/ photos] and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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:'''
# Participate for 5 days (first or last 5 days of the event) - 380€/person including food and lodging (Excluding VAT)
# Participate for the full 10 days - 520€/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 ([[User:ticheler |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.

=== By Train and Bus ===

There is no railway to Bolsena. From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-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.

Alternatively you can take a bus all the way [https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Roma-Termini/Viterbo#r/Bus from Rome to Viterbo] and other bus [https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Viterbo/Bolsena#r/Bus/s/0 from Viterbo to Bolsena].

=== On foot ===

You can walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [https://www.outdooractive.com/en/route/hiking-route/orvietano/c2c12.orvieto-bolsena/144933797/#dmdtab=oax-tab1 here] - about 17km if you take the shortest route. :-) You'll need the map as signage along the route can be tricky.

== 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.

In order to cover these costs we would be overjoyed to accept offers of sponsorship!

What we can offer:
* Your logo on top of the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/Bolsena_Code_Sprint_2022/ sprint website] as well as on all official documents used during the sprint
* Acknowledgement in all sprint related emails
* Our undying gratitude (which comes in handy when you least expect it!)

Sponsorship levels:

* Sponsor: 1000 EUR
* Sponsor: 500 EUR
* Donation: via paypal

We would also like to recognize organizations participating in the event as *in-kind* sponsors.

Vmische: Adding myself (Volker)

== Code Sprint ==

This year, we are following the OSGeo tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019].

Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.

You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

=== When ===
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 31 2019.

=== Where ===

University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography (Bucharest, Romania)
* Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1, Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1
* https://en.unibuc.ro/academic-programmes/faculties/faculty-of-geography/

== Registered Attendees ==
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning

You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

'''Detailed budget'''
* [[Bonn_Code_Sprint_2018_:_Budget|Budget]]

== Individual preparation ==

* Bring your own laptop
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] if needed (photo: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Schuko_plug_and_socket.png Germany]). See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/
* Install GIT and compiler tools, and come with a working development environment

== Sponsoring ==

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Open Source GIS software.
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).

Simultaneously with the [https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/ FOSSGIS Conference 2018 in Bonn] an international code sprint of the OSGeo will take place from 19 to 25 March 2018.
We expect about 80 developers from all over the world to come from various [http://www.osgeo.org/] projects. Whether desktop application, geospatial library, metadata catalog or web mapping: be sure to find products in the list that you use. Thus, the Code Sprint is also an opportunity for your developers to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software and participate in the development.

The code sprint will take place at [http://www.basecamp-bonn.de/ BaseCamp] in Bonn. During the [http://www.foss4g2016.org/home.html FOSS4G 2016] in Bonn we have already organized a code sprint at this location, in which about 100 developers worked on the open source projects every day. (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint)

In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure, the cost of food and drinks for the developers is the main cost. A buffet at lunchtime and drinks during the whole day are intended.

So far, the code sprint is already sponsored by [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] and [https://www.fossgis.de/ FOSSGIS e. V.].

In order to cover the costs, we would be very pleased about further sponsors!

What we offer:
* Your logo on top of the [http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/events/osgeo-code-sprint-2018/ websites of the Code Sprint] [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Code_Sprint_2018 1] as well as on all official documents around the Code Sprint
* Mention in all code sprint related mails
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)

Our sponsorship levels:
* Gold: >= 2500 USD
* Silver: 1500 USD
* Bronze: 750 USD

So...
* get your company talking to the top developers of the scene!
* enable your GIS developers to take advantage of this opportunity, there is no better opportunity to learn!
* support the software you use - you benefit immediately.

Thank you very much!

Contact: To sponsor, please contact astrid_emde@osgeo.org directly.

FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint

2017-08-11T09:55:42Z

Vmische: Adding myself as Code sprinter

== Code Sprint ==

Venue: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2017.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2017].
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 19th, 2017 at District Hall (http://www.districthallboston.org/).

Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.

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, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

If you plan to attend, please signup in the table below so we have ample time for planning of snacks and drinks!

.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with over 200 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 ===
* Saturday August 19th 9AM - 5PM

=== Where===
* Venue & Accommodation: Boston District Hall. (For more information: http://www.districthallboston.org/) [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.35229/-71.04528| OpenStreetMap]]

'''Power connector:'''
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] . See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/

== Registered Attendees ==

The Code Sprint does not cost any money. For us it makes planning easier if we know who is coming. So please leave your Name.

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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

=== Sponsoring ===
We are always welcoming sponsors!

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

FOSS4G 2016 Lessons Learned

2017-03-27T13:18:04Z

Vmische: Filling Abstract Submissions & Paper selection section

[[FOSS4G 2016|FOSS4G 2016 Home]]

== FOSS4G 2016 Lessons Learned ==

This is to document things that the local committee learned, for the benefit of future FOSS4Gs!!

=== Sponsorship ===
* Arnulf told me, that the 1500$ supporter package was especially created "as is", means with conference pass and is used by smaller companies - which are the ground deposit and so important for spreading the word! That's the reason, why we didn't touch it...
* We've done a very, very conservative calculation and only calculated '''40k''' sponsoring money. Of course, the more, the better, but doing that will give you a more robust view on what attendees must bring in return. Might be you should adapt your break even points or even have to rise your fees. Finally it was around €120k minus free tickets connected to the sponsorship
* Many exhibitors asked for additional reduced and/or free tickets, which we negotiated
* We seperated exhibition and sponsorship due to some empty big booths from Gold Sponsors in Seoul... manned booth are much more attractive for all attendees and so in general for all exhibitors ;-)
* exhibition was possible from bronze upwards (see idea behind supporter level above)
* booth choose was "first comes, first serves, regardless from sponsorship level
* 4 weeks before the conference we opened the exhibition also to our supporter sponsors
* Exhibition costs were "as is", no extra value for us, the organizers
* We created many kind of partnerships (I pass over the list of contacts) and announced them as "Institutional partners". The deal was, we publish their logo on our website and announce them (twitter, e.g.) and they publishour newsletters through their email-lists - no costs for nobody, but helped to spread the word

'''résumé''': I think seperating sponsorship and exhibition is a good idea. Perhaps think to lower sponsorship level costs, so that sponsorship is even possible for "small and/or one man companies", perhaps think of a mini-supporter sponsorship without ticket. When we've seen, that there were rooms free, we offered sponsor-tracks in the programme, but the time to announce them was too short, so nearly nobody attended there. My opinion: Cancel.

=== OSGeo ===
* Our goal was to put OSGeo much to front, so that everybody gets the message: "THIS IS AN OSGEO CONFERENCE"
* For this the first and best located booth we planned was for OSgeo and from what I have seen, there was always traffic
* Maybe a point for the 2018+ calls to request for an OSGeo booth in the first row

=== Travel Grants ===
* The Travel Grants Program should be a fix part on every FOSS4G. Apply for money from the board soon! Conference Committee has to define unique rules (I already requested for this)
* Should be sponsored by OSgeo and potentially the attendees. We used a Paypal account, but only gathered 50€, perhaps need for better marketing here
* We paid travel grantees the ticket & their overnight - paying for travels is very difficult and could hardly be managed (what if they cancel their trip a few days before? The money is lost etc.). So Travel-Grantees had to care for their travel costs on their own
* Selection mode & more -> see [[FOSS4G 2016 Travel Grants]]

=== Financial Stuff ===
* Make kind of a risk analysis, that lists the costs you have 6,3,2,1 month before the event - this shows clearly, which costs you have in the very unlikely case, you have to cancel. Comparing these costs with the number of already registered attendees will help you to sleep better ;-)
* About Early Birdies - I just talked to Sanghee, chair of the 2015 event. In Seoul 25% of all attendees registered few days before online registration closed or did it on-site! And that's why we thought about how we can attract Early Birders with more than just a smaller price. I like the early plans from Boston attracting Early Birdies especially!
* We made a risk-assessment about what costs we have when we have to cancel 6, 3 and 1 month before the event and also, what happens, if we don't hit the sponsorship target. Might be useful to avoid sleepness nights

=== Registration ===
* We are a community of late bookers, so don't get nervous if numbers are low at the beginning :-)
* Maybe try to make Early Bird even more attractive than we did (we raised the difference and sent 50 EB-T-Shirts around the world)
* Although we closed registration late (maybe too late on friday 19.8.!), still some people came and attended the conference on-site. Be prepared!
* Having a good booking system helps really! We had the chance to rent one that was especially adapted to us
* be prepared that many, many attendees will come and request for an invoice (instead of CreditCard payment), cancellations, changes in booking, ask for filling out special forms for their administration and so on. Just want to say: Be prepared, that one person has at least a 20h/week job to catch up with that

=== LOC Organization ===
* If LOC consists of volunteers, don't expect permanent awareness, be patient and plan with some slack time ;-)
* But if LOC consists of enthusiastic people, it gives F4G a personal touch, better than buy everything from a PCO

=== Marketing ===
* We had what we called "Institutional supporters" with the deal, we name your organisation and we can use your distributor for our press releases. In my eyes that helped to reach neighboured communities!

=== Sponsorship & Exhibition ===
* We've been '''very''' conservative in assessing sponsorship income (we calculated with 30k at the beginning) and I think that helped us really to do a more realistic planning
* We had some minor problems, because our sponsorship team was not available during the whole period
* that caused, that other people had to jump into partwise and some issues arised such as forgotten logos on the webpage and some problems with the exhibiton
* easy to prevent if there is a fixed and reachable sponsorship-team in LOC, that cares for all sponsorship & exhibition tasks
* We had some funny requests, e.g. "Exclusive Sponsorship of the GalaEvent for 2k €" - be prepared and don't hesitate to negotiate and keep the balance in mind!
* Be early! Some of the sponsors in the past years didn't sponsor our event, because we were too late and their budgets were already planned

=== Discounts ===
* Keep in mind, that offering special rates for students (and other groups) might cause problems for your general calculation! (see student helpers)
* We only gave some discount to sponsors, that sent many people (special deals)

=== Student Helpers ===
* We opened the doors for approx. 40 students from all over the world. The deal was 50% work for us, 50% free attendance. We also opened the not sold out workshops for them two days before. They worked at registration/for the video team mainly. Entrance pass was a copy of the student card
* Students were partly mixed with travel grantees. For these we paid some money for their travels
* In general good idea, needs some orchestration and don't expect every student to show up at the event!
* Try to implement them the idea of an intensive communication - some of them didn't even reply to direct emails
* The majority did and they did a great job & were happy to have this possibility!!!

=== Abstract Submissions & Paper selection ===

* Submission
** Having a URL to the source code/project makes the review less time consuming as you wouldn't need to search for the projects if there are any doubts.
** Ask the submitters to keep the abstract short. 125-150 words is a good length to make it also fast to review.
* Selection:
** This selection process worked well for 2014 and 2016: http://2016.foss4g.org/news-entry/abstract-review-process.html
** Having about 2/3 acceptance rate seems to be a good ratio for a high quality program.
** Let the program committee make the hard decisions on selecting the talks (and not the attendees with an overwhelming number of talks) and rather have less talks in parallel. Strive for quality rather than quantity.
** Not all submissions are really (about) open source. Double check the projects when it doubt.
* Scheduling:
** If you want full flexibility, don't start selling one day passes too early as that you can't really justify to change talks between days, even if it's just a preliminary schedule.
** Make the preliminary schedule as close to the final one as possible, some people plan for that day/time of the day. It's welcomed if you notify the speaker if you needed to change him/her slot for the final schedule.
** Find as many session chairs as possible before the conference. If there are some missing, appoint someone of your LOC to find people to fill the gaps (someone who knows a lot of people is surely beneficial (or ask someone well connection for help finding additional session chairs)).
** Print out a simple sheet for the sessions chairs explaining what they need to do (e.g. that keeping the schedule and starting on time and not *earlier* is also important) and place it in the rooms.
** Mix academic and general track slots, don't have a dedicated room from the academic track. This way academic track talks get a higher exposure to the audience.

=== Workshops ===
* We installed the OSGeo Live on the hardware, which was a good point, better than boot live (and even better than bring-your-own, which causes a lot of extra work for the workshop leaders)
* don't expect workshop leaders to read all the information you send them. We pointed them to a weak WIFI and asked them to sent us all data/software before, but some didn't which caused some network problems, but nothing serious
* plan early but also expect workshop leaders to cancel their workshops short before. So have some extra-workshops in the hind quarters
* some of the workshop leaders requested tests in the venue before. If possible, make it possible ;-)
* We had the strategy: "no conference-pass, no workshops" - we opened the workshops for some people that requested the weekend before the workshops actually happened. This mnakes booking the conference more attractive

=== Academic Track ===
* need for a Student Award troubleshooter
* we integrated AT into the regular programme instead of having one parallel track. Connected more people in our eyes.

=== Code Sprint ===
* I think the idea to have two extra long code sprints before and after was a good one. Of course not everywhere the possibilty we had with BaseCamp are so perfect, but I guess, if people travel, they don't mind staying longer if they have the opportunity to work with their project for longer

=== B2B Meeting ===
* Was not there but heard all the best from the ~ 50 attendees. If so, think how you can orchestrate 25 talks from business people into one programme without the risk, that they talk too long and everyone gets bored

=== Student's Afternoon ===
* Decision was made in late June to open the doors on friday afternoon after the last dinner for students
* We also had a students session organized by Prof. Klaus Greve with 4 talks
* Not much time for marketing, also we had vacations at the university, so only 9 students appeared

'''résumé''': I think good idea, especially to give student,s that can't pay the whole conference fee the chance to get an idea about FOSS4G, but planned too late. Also more promotion from Geo4All-chapter would be great. If possible, plan it from the beginning on - we started to think about, after we've noticed that some speakers cancelled their talks and we had unused session-rooms.

=== Social Events ===
* Jeff's idea to include the GalaEvent into the conference fee took at least 700 people on the boat. What a party!

=== Other side events ===
* We offered some side events from the official tourismus office Bonn, but had to cancel them with no bookings early. Otherwise we'd had to guarantee that we pay for the minimum attendees number and the risk was too big. Problem: We are a community of late bookers!

=== Food ===
* Interestingly is food where we spent most of the money. Venue, Codesprint, Workshops, B2B, Gala Event.....
* We did not request for special diets. In the end, there was 1 vegan guy out of 889 - compared to all the organisation-work to do, if offering several diets/menues, that was okay for us
* I guess the idea to have drinks all day was perfect (ok, Bonn was hot these days), but people like to drink when they want and not when the caterer offers. It's worth some extra money!

=== Sponsoring ===
We are always welcoming sponsors!

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

== FOSS4G 2016 Call for Presentations ==

FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) is pleased to invite proposals for presentations. FOSS4G is the annual global gathering for those both currently or potentially working with open source geospatial software.

Presentations are the heart of the conference. We expect to have around 200 presentations during the conference showing the uses of open-source geospatial software in various fields and benefits of open-source geospatial software. We will be having 6-8 parallel streams in a range of subjects from diverse fields. Each individual presentations will be allowed about 20 minutes and 5 minutes for Q&A.

Presentations may cover any aspect of the development and use of open source geospatial software — some suggestions are given below.

The conference program will run in parallel tracks over three days. The presentation proposals received will be judged by the program committee and the FOSS4G community as a whole. From this, the committee will create a program with structured tracks, designed to provide guidance on content to new and previous attendees.

=== Topics ===

FOSS4G will, as always, be the premier showcase event for new applications, projects, case studies, business perspectives and training for free and open source geospatial software.

In addition to catering to the existing FOSS4G community, attendance is being encouraged from anyone considering using open source and geospatial software for the first time. The organizing committee is therefore keen to receive content which supports new users.

Proposals are invited on any FOSS4G-related subject. However the following list may help to provide some guidance on areas likely to be of interest to attendees:

* Case Studies: Relate your experiences
* Benchmarks: Comparisons between packages
* Business Cases: building the economic case
* Visualization: effective presentation of information.
* Disaster Response: software, case studies, outcomes
* Development: new development in projects
* Hacks and Mashes: novel solutions to all our problems
* Collaboration: data collection, data sharing, and open standards,
* New data: handling new data models and formats (e.g. 3D, temporal and “big data”)

Additionally to high level technical talks four key domain topics practically connect the software with communities from neighboring domains. The key topics in 2016 are:

* Open Data
* Remote Sensing
* Land information
* Disaster Management

=== Submissions ===

Submissions can be made at https://proposals.2016.foss4g.org/

The selection follows the same rules as for the FOSS4G 2014: http://2014.foss4g.org/abstract-review-process-for-foss4g-2014/index.html

Please note that there is a separate call for submissions of full papers for peer-review and academic publication in our Academic Presentation process (see the Academic Track CFP page http://2016.foss4g.opencts.org/ocs/).

=== Important Dates ===

Significant dates to note for various submissions are as follows. Please see the full calendar for other important dates.

* Call for presentations opens 21st January
* Call for presentations closes 21st March
* Community voting starts 28th March
* Community voting ends 11th April
* Preliminary program decisions made 1st May
* Early Bird registration discount ends 8th May

FOSS4G 2016 Call for Participation in the Program Committee

2015-12-09T07:31:59Z

Vmische: Added sentence that the team will be formed by the end of the year

<pre>
Hi all,

this is the Call for Participation in the Program Committee. In case
you want to be part of the selection process for the talks of the
FOSS4G 2016, this is your chance now. It's as easy as to reply to
this email and let me know that you want to take part.

I'd like to have a diverse committee as possible. People with all
kinds of backgrounds and interests. Being it remote sensing, an
interest in case studies, the hottest developer trends or any other
topic related to free and open source geospatial software, please join
the Program Committee.

Here's how it works. During the community voting phase (beginning of
April) the members of the Program Committee will vote on the submitted
abstracts of the talks as well. This is probably the biggest part of
the work. It could well be over 300 abstracts that ned to be reviewed.
Once both votings are done, we'll do the selection process. There will
be three weeks for the process with the current deadline of May 1st.
During those three weeks also the speakers will be notified if their
talk got accepted, rejected or if they are on the waiting list.

The selection process will follow the same steps as in 2014 [1]. This
means that you would need to have time in April to read through the
abstracts as well some time where we do the actual selection. I would
expect to have 2-3 video conference meetings that will last for about
3-4 hours.

I'd like to have the team formed by the end of the year, so please get
in touch if you'd like to be part of it.

Volker Mische
Chair of the Program Committee

Bolsena Code Sprint 2015

Vmische: Adding comment asking for a pickup from the train station

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (31 May -6 June 2015) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1381 31 May - 6 June 2015]
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda:
* [[Agenda 2015]]
* https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/Bolsena2015
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2013|2013]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2014|2014]]

After seven successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

LIDAR Format Letter

2015-04-15T20:31:31Z

Vmische: Signed by Volker Mische

=Open Letter of the Need for Open Standards in LiDAR=
April 2015.

We, the undersigned, are concerned that the current interoperability between LiDAR applications, through use of the open "LAS" format, is being threatened by ESRI's introduction and promotion of an alternative "Optimized LAS" '''''proprietary format.''''' This is of grave concern given that fragmentation of the LAS format will reduce interoperability between applications and organisations, and introduce vendor lock-in.

We request that:
# The OGC initiate the formalisation of an open standard for storing LiDAR data, and that OGC sponsors help prioritise the development of this open LiDAR standard.
# ESRI support the OGC in their [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/vision mission] "to advance the development and use of international standards and supporting services that promote geospatial interoperability." In particular, ESRI join the OGC in consolidating an Open Standard for use of LiDAR data. This might include proposing ESRI's "Optimized LAS" as an Open Standard to remove any technical or legal hurdles in use of "Optimized LAS" as an Open Standard. A simple test to determine if "Optimized LAS" can be used as an Open Standard would be if "Optimized LAS" can legally be implemented by Open Source software such as libLAS or LASzip.
# Users and sponsors of LiDAR data, publicly state their preference for the use of an open LiDAR format over proprietary when selecting software and services.
# The custodians of the open LAS format [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)], who are part of [http://www.asprs.org/ American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS)], request the term "LAS" not to be included in the name of a proprietary format, as it makes such a proprietary format appear to be an approved derivative of LAS.

=Background=
==About LiDAR==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar LiDAR] (Light Detection And Ranging) is a form of high precision range measurement, much like a radar system, that uses laser light instead of electromagnetic waves. The standard LiDAR product is a 3D point cloud that can be conceptualized as a series of point measurements representing distance between the sensor to a returned emission.

For over a decade (since 2003), there has been a common format for storing LiDAR data, the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html “LAS” format], and open source libraries have been developed to read, write and process these LAS files: [http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/liblas_overview.html libLAS] and [http://github.com/LASlib/LASlib LASlib]. These libraries have been incorporated within many LiDAR applications, allowing read/write access to a common exchange format, and resulting in full interoperability between the applications. There is also an open source compression algorithm for the LAS format called [http://laszip.org LASzip] that many LiDAR data portals use to compress LAS into smaller LAZ files for faster download. Many LiDAR software packages have added [http://laszip.org/#software-with-native-laz-support native support] for these compressed LAZ files.

==LAS Limitations==

Quoting [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ Paul Ramsey]:

: LAS format is not without its drawbacks:

:* While it is a binary format and does not waste any space unnecessarily, neither does it apply any compression to the data it stores. That’s not good for archival use.
:* Also, LAS stores points in scan order, so accessing any particular chunk of points involves reading the whole file. That’s not good for random access.
: Clearly there is a little more work to be done. Can LAS be improved? In fact, it already has been:
:* An open source compression library, LASzip can apply 20''':'''1 lossless compression to LAS files, making them great for archival purposes.
:* Other LAS users have experimented with re-ordering points in a LAS or LASzip file to allow random access to internal chunks of the LIDAR point cloud.
: Basically, making LAS smaller and faster is not rocket science, and if the work were incorporated into libLAS then the whole LIDAR community could leverage it together, and the user community would only have one file type to interchange.

=="Optimized LAS" A ''' ''Proprietary'' ESRI Format'''==
ESRI has announced the release of an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214 "Optimized LAS"] format which is claimed to provide faster access and smaller file sizes (similar to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format). This announcement created a outburst of vocal protest in the LiDAR community [[http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ 1] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ 2] [http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2014/01/15/las-laz-lazzip-zlas-and-you/ 3] [http://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/lidar-software 4] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars-2/ 5] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/02/lidar-format-wars-3/ 6]].

The "Optimized LAS" format is neither published, nor available under any open license, which provides both technical as well as legal barriers for other applications reading and/or writing to this proprietary format. This creates a vendor lock-in scenario which is contrary to the principles of the Open Geospatial Consortium, the OSGeo Foundation, and many government IT procurement policies.

One year after releasing the "Optimized LAS" format, ESRI released a free Windows DLL that is claimed to convert between LAS and "Optimized LAS". Note there is a distinct difference between "free" and "open". Unless the Windows DLL is released under an "open" license, libLAS and related products will be legally prevented from incorporating ESRI's reader/writer code into their codebase, or from fixing any underlying bugs or performance limitations which may exist in ESRI's product.

==OGC's Efforts For An ''' ''Open'' LiDAR Standard'''==

The [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)] has indicated their interest in developing a standard LiDAR format.

Carl Reed (formerly on OGC staff) provided the following information on OGC's previous efforts to work toward enabling Open Standards in LiDAR:

: "Over the last 8 or so years, the OGC approached ASPRS at least twice regarding LAS and worked with ASPRS to bring LAS into the OGC for consideration as both a Best Practice and an OGC standard. OGC member Rick Pearsall worked diligently on this. Rick worked for NGA, was active in the OGC, and was also the Standards Committee chair at ASPRS. Rick and Carl tried and failed. These attempts go back to [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/divisions/ppd/ppd_meetings/2007springppdreport.pdf at least 2007]. More recently, Carl Reed had an email dialogue with Lewis Graham to bring LAS into OGC as an OGC Best Practice. Carl thought progress was being made, but then for some reason all communication stopped."

[http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/organization/staff/ssimmons Scott Simmons] (Executive Director, Standards Program) has explained the OGC's continuing interest in pursuing point cloud encoding standards, including a member-initiated mechanism to extend LAS data with OGC-standard XML content.
: The OGC invites interested members who wish to work on this effort to please contact Scott Simmons (Executive Director, Standards Program E-mail : ssimmons@opengeospatial.org) to register their interest and discuss details. OGC will also be holding an ad hoc session at the OGC's next [http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/1506tc Technical Committee meeting in Boulder, CO, USA in early June] to bring together all interested parties from all sectors (government, industry, academia) for this and plan next steps.

==History: LAS and ESRI's "Optimized LAS"==

Martin Isenburg, one of the leading experts in LIDAR formats, and creator of [http://rapidlasso.com/LASzip LASzip], [http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools LAStools] and [http://rapidlasso.com/PulseWaves PulseWaves], explains the history of LAS and "Optimized LAS":

: '''Summary:'''

:* The LAS format has been used successfully for over a decade.
:* Within last couple of years, ESRI has added native LAS support into ESRI products.
:* ESRI discussed embracing the open [http://laszip.org LAZ] format and simultaneously developed a proprietary "Optimized LAS" format.
:* The open geospatial community offered, on numerous occasions, to work with ESRI to avoid format fragmentation.
:* ESRI's proprietary "Optimized LAS" format is very similar in design and performance to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format.

: '''1998: Original LAS format definition'''

: The original development of the LAS format started in 1998 according to [http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lasroom/zKqchDj1JL4/discussion Lewis Graham]. The effort was at first led by pioneers of the LiDAR industry until the format was donated to the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html ASPRS]. Since then ASPRS's [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)] has been maintaining the LAS format, guiding it from the initial LAS 1.0 version until today's LAS 1.4 version. This effort successfully created an open data exchange format for discrete LiDAR points that is currently supported by practically every LiDAR-related software program.

: '''2011: ESRI joins LAS Working Group'''

: ESRI did not join the LWG of the ASPRS until rather late, the 24th of August in 2011. At that time ESRI was not a significant "player" in the LiDAR market given they did not have much support for LiDAR in any of their products. That was to change soon as they were planning to add LAS as a native data type in ArcGIS 10.1.

: Shortly before that, in June 2011, Martin Isenburg received a personal message from the ESRI development team: "I have a question about LAS compression. I’m evaluating some potential enhancements and support for [LAS and] LAZ is one of them. Compression time and amount is impressive." When inquiring two months later about the status of [http://laszip.org LAZ] integration Martin was told: "We’re in beta and working to finish the current release. I very much doubt LAZ will make it in because it’s too big a change at this time. So, we’ll be considering, for the following release, [for] what we want to do regarding compression and spatial indexing."

: '''June 2012: ArcGIS 10.1 includes [proprietary] LAS Dataset file'''

: In June 2012 ESRI released ArcGIS 10.1 and introduced the proprietary "LAS Dataset file (*.lasd)" that groups collections of files into one logical unit. This format of this useful LAS container file was not shared with others despite several private and eventually [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/jwHpi0efUgA/discussion public] requests.

: '''2012/2013: Collaboration Discussions'''

: There were encouraging follow-ups from the ESRI team about adopting the open LAZ format in January 2012: "I would be interested in having a more in depth meeting with you to better understand the great work you are doing with LAS and how we can possibly better partner on this." and again in December 2012: "If you have time, I'd like to set some time aside Tuesday afternoon to meet with <an important person> at the ESRI booth. Does 2pm sound okay?" The meeting went well and it looked as if ESRI was going to embrace the LAZ format because shortly after the meeting Martin got word that: "I hear from <an important person> that it was a success and that he had a good meeting with you. I wanted to see if we can have a telephone discussion on Wednesday or Thursday this week related to the potential of incorporating LAZ into ArcGIS."

: Then the first signs of hesitation showed. First there were legal issues raised in February 2013: "Currently the legal aspects are being reviewed. They were having some issues separating the LPGL aspects from LASzip from the remainder of LAStools etc." and then in April 2013 concerns about the code were made: "We have started to look into the integration of LAZ, but came across some issues. We don’t want to copy files from the other package, mix and match or hack around. We were hoping for an API to stream points out of a LAZ file as well as write LAZ files. There should be a simple code sample for that?" and - following up on that - in June 2013 Martin was told "I see value in LASzip becoming a de-facto standard that provides compression to the LAS format. If this is to happen then it needs to be bundled together with appropriate reference implementations, examples and documentation as a standard and so ensure that issues as defined earlier in email do not occur."

: '''June 2013: ESRI asked to sponsor clean LASzip DLL'''

: At that time [http://laszip.org LASzip] was an open source project without sponsorship. The original funding from [http://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Locations/ColdRegionsResearchandEngineeringLaboratory.aspx USACE] that had turned [http://laszip.org LASzip] from an academic prototype into an industry strength compression engine had long run out. So Martin asked ESRI to become a sponsor to create the clean [http://laszip.org LASzip] API that ESRI was after. The answer was: "ESRI often helps in the financing of Open Source projects and I could foresee ESRI possibly helping in LASzip. [...] If you are interested in promoting LASzip as such a standard and doing the required work then I would recommend you put together a proposal and I can look to get ESRI as a sponsor."

: Immediately Martin proposed to ESRI: "I hereby propose to write an easy to use open source DLL wrapper for LASzip that will make it easier to integrate LASzip in a standardized manner into other software products such as ArcGIS, LP 360, or Terrasolid. This will come with example code on how to use the DLL for reading and writing LAZ files and include a few compressed example files. I hereby ask ESRI to provide funding for this effort without imposing any limitations on the produced DLL API."

: '''July 2013: ArcGIS 10.2 includes [proprietary] LAS indexing '''

: With the release of ArcGIS 10.2 in July 2013, ESRI introduced spatial indexing to speed up area-of-interest queries. The new proprietary *.lasx files with seemingly identical functionality to the open *.lax files that had been [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/j0qA8NBMHJs/discussion announced] in May 2011 and were [http://rapidlasso.com/2012/12/03/lasindex-spatial-indexing-of-lidar-data/ presented] at ELMF in November 2012.

: '''July 2013: Open LASzip API released'''

: After more requests for an easier interface to [http://laszip.org LASzip] (in particular for [http://forsys.cfr.washington.edu/fusion/fusionlatest.html USDA's FUSION]), Martin [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/oplsDhhnhDQ/discussion released] a clean, well-documented, and easy-to-use LASzip DLL (without ESRI funding). Martin expected that developers at ESRI would now use it to add read and write support for [http://laszip.org LAZ] to their next release of ArcGIS.

: '''December 2013 : ESRI discovered to be secretly developing proprietary LAS format'''

: In December of 2013, several LAStools users contacted Martin with suspicions that ESRI may be creating a proprietary LAS compression. Martin [http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ broke the news] as soon as it became evident that ESRI had used the time it needed to resolve "legal issues" and "code problems" to put together their own proprietary compressed format with near-identical performance and functionality to [http://laszip.org LASzip]. A few days later ESRI released an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214/ official FAQ] to confirming this was the case.

: From day one, Martin has worked with stakeholders, including ESRI, to avoid format fragmentation. Martin's core argument for resolving this to everybody's benefit was that - coincidentally - a natural break was happening in the LAS format with the introduction of the new LAS 1.4 point types. Martin outlined a detailed plan for how a joint development of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for LAS 1.4 between rapidlasso and ESRI could exploit this natural break in the LAS format to accomplish two things at once:
:# Add the unspecified technical additions that ESRI had hinted at desiring, and
:# Extend the [http://laszip.org LASzip] compression scheme to handle the new point types introduced with the LAS 1.4 specification. As there was no pressing need at the time to handle LAS 1.4 Martin had delayed the extension of [http://laszip.org LASzip] to the new LAS 1.4 point types to make sure a cooperation with ESRI would remain a viable option.

: '''1 April 2014: Positive reception to "Optimized LAS" / LASzip collaboration April Fools announcement'''

: In an attempt to convince ESRI management of the community desire for an open standard, Martin released an April Fools' Day [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ prank press release] pretending that ESRI had already agreed to the envisioned collaboration to develop a joint LiDAR compressor. Community [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ jubilant reactions (see comments)] left no doubt about the sentiment on this issue within the LiDAR community.

: '''October 2014: Announcement of [open] LAS Compatibility mode'''

: [http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/ Digital Coast, NOAA Coastal Services Center] became a Gold Sponsor of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for the development of the [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/10/06/rapidlasso-announces-laszip-compatibility-mode-for-las-1-4/ LAS 1.4 compatibility mode] that was [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/nUFMkKSz53g/discussion beta-released] in November 2014. This allowed support for the new point types in [http://laszip.org LASzip] without closing the door on a potential cooperation with ESRI for a joint LAS 1.4 compressor.

: '''November 2014: ESRI announces proprietary extension to LAS 1.4'''

: In November 2014 [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated ESRI announced] that they had added their [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated own extension] for the new LAS 1.4 point types to "Optimized LAS", dismissing the opportunity to develop a joint compressor and avoid format fragmentation by exploiting this "natural break" in the LAS format as Martin had suggested.

: Since then, ESRI has been [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/11/06/keeping-esri-honest/ promoting] "Optimized LAS". By including the term "LAS" in "Optimized LAS" and "zLAS", the distinction between the open LAS format and proprietary format is blurred. This is likely to mislead novice and future users, thereby endangering many years of standardization work. To date, [April 2014], the [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/committees/standards/LAS_1_4_r13.pdf custodians of the LAS format], the LAS Working Group (LWG) of the ASPRS has [http://rapidlasso.com/2015/02/22/lidar-las-asprs-esri-and-the-laz-clone/ yet to make an official statement] regarding use of the "LAS" name in promoting a proprietary LiDAR format.

=Value of Standards=

The importance of Open Standards is described is most government IT policies. For instance, the United Kingdom policy states:
: … Government assets should be interoperable and open for re-use in order to maximise return on investment, avoid technological or supplier lock-in, reduce operational risk in ICT projects and provide responsive services for citizens and business. This should also lower barriers to entry for more diverse sources of IT services, including citizens and SMEs. <ref>All about Open Source – An Introduction to Open Source Software for Government IT, Version 2.0, United Kingdom Cabinet Office https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/78959/All_About_Open_Source_v2_0.pdf</ref>

The value of Open Standards have been described in numerous national studies on the effects of standards on economic
growth.

: ... the national studies demonstrate that standards have a positive influence on economic growth due to the resulting improved diffusion of knowledge. The contribution of standards to the growth rate in each country is equivalent to 0.9% in Germany, 0.8% in 0.3% in the UK and 0.2% in Canada. <ref>Prof. Dr. Knut Blind, Prof. Dr. Andre Jungmittag, Dr. Axel Mangelsdorf [http://www.din.de/sixcms_upload/media/2896/DIN_GNN_2011_engl_akt_neu.pdf "The Economic Benefits of Standardization"], ''DINN, 2000''.

2014-03-24T17:17:56Z

Vmische: I come by train

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (1-7 June 2014) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1381 1-7 June 2014]
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2014]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2013|2013]]

After six successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

Bolsena Code Sprint 2014

2014-03-24T17:13:01Z

Vmische: Adding Volker Mische to the Bolsena Code Sprint

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (1-7 June 2014) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1381 1-7 June 2014]
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2014]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2013|2013]]

After six successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

FOSS4G 2013 Code Sprint

2013-09-10T18:11:01Z

Vmische: Added myself to OpenLayers 3 code sprint

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

== Where & When ==

[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.938804&lon=-1.203427&zoom=18&layers=M East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, UK].

The day after the main conference (Sunday 22nd September) has been set aside for the Code Sprint. There is also a plan to provide facilities throughout the event in the main venue.

We also have a hackathon running on 17th & 18th September which is also free to attend. See the [http://2013.foss4g.org/geohack/ geohack pages] for details.

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

Bolsena Code Sprint 2013

2013-05-30T16:20:06Z

Vmische: Comment didn't show up

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (2-8 June 2013) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1221 2-8 June 2013]
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2013]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]]

After five successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

After five successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&mlon=11.99335&zoom=14&layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

Geoservices REST API

2013-05-09T11:04:02Z

Vmische: Signed by Volker Mische

This wiki page aims to collate community concerns related to the proposed acceptance of the "Geoservices REST API" becoming an OGC standard. It is being collaboratively edited, targeting completion before the end of May 2013.

= Open Letter to OGC and voting members =

''Please don't edit this "Open Letter" statement, comments and discussion should go below.''

May 2013

We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices REST API" as an OGC standard, would have detrimental impacts on interoperability within the spatial industry.

We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it stands in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard.

People have listed different reasons for concern. They are described below.

== Summary ==
As at May 2013, OGC members have been asked to decide whether to accept the "GeoServices REST API" as an OGC standard. This is a contentious issue, with many people arguing that introduction of the “GeoServices REST API” will have costly, far reaching, negative impacts on interoperability, and significantly tarnish the OGC's reputation as a champion of interoperability.

The key points of contention revolve around the fact that the proposed "GeoServices REST API" does not build upon or extend existing OGC standards, but rather addresses similar requirements using an alternative API. In particular, the overlap and/or duplication of existing standards is widespread: OGC's core standards of WMS, WMTS, WFS, SE/SLD, WCS, CS/W are all duplicated to a significant extent. This defeats the purpose of having standards in the first place.

Duplication of standards will likely result in a combination of the following:
# The cost to application developers, systems integrators, testers and sponsors to support all relevant OGC standards will be substantially increased.
# Consequently, organisations and/or applications may choose to only support one standard, or only support one standard fully.
# Sponsors (such as governments) who require compliance with OGC standards will discover that applications don't communicate together, due to applications supporting different OGC standards that essentially do the same thing.
# This will result in a diminished importance of OGC, as the "OGC standards" stamp of approval will not equate interoperability.
# After a while, in order to solve interoperability issues, a respected international organisation or program will likely take the initiative to mandate one standard as the preferred standard for all agencies to follow. To date, the OGC has provided this leadership.
# One standard taking prominance over the other will likely lead to the other being neglected or deprecated, resulting in many OGC compliant systems becoming legacy systems in the process. This should be considered an undesirable outcome for a standards organisation. Backward compatibility to the existing WxS standards is important in this respect.
# Given backwards compatibility with the ESRI Restful implementation is mandated, this is not an Open Standard, and should not be ratified as if it was.

== Political Concerns ==

* Adopting the standard will expose the OGC to a strong suspicion of acting as a rubber stamp organization under ESRI weight, and will be detrimental to its recognized position as a reference organization for geospatial standards.
* It is a dubious practice that a standardization organisation promotes competing standards, without explicitely obsoleting (or at least recommending) some of them. How is a new comer to the industry supposed to select the appropriate standard if several ones share the same scope : WFS or GeoServices REST API Feature Service, WMS or GeoServices REST API Map Service, etc. ?

== Commercial Concerns ==

* Promoting standards from an existing implementation made by a single vendor leads to an obvious bias in competition.
* Supporting multiple overlapping standards greatly reduces usability while it increases complexity and cost of development and maintenance.
* Many SME's have invested in supporting existing OGC standards in their products. They will be forced to choose the standards they support (and can explain), resulting in decreased interoperability, confusion and frustration for clients.
* Confusing customers with new, overlapping OGC standards will lower the credibility of companies and of OGC, reducing business opportunities.

== Technical Concerns ==

* The Geoservices REST API overlaps in large proportion with existing OGC standards such as WMS, WCS, WFS, WMTS, CSW, with no effort made to reconcile with those standards.
* The standardization of WKT for Spatial reference systems is unfortunately currently quite weak in OGC standards. Geoservices REST API is tied with ESRI's version of WKT, which is not properly specified in the Geoservices REST API documents, and is known to be incompatible with other OGC documents, which will lead to a larger confusion. See the following [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/000166.html comment]] for more details on this issue.
* The Geoservices REST API is not particularly RESTful - it's a thinly disguised service call, not an address space for RESTful objects that can be operated on.

== Methodological Concerns ==

* No public response (nor private to the authors of the comments) has been made to the various comments sent on the OGC Requests mailing list in [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/date.html July 2012]] and [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-August/date.html August 2012]] during the 30 day public comments period.
* The Geoservices REST API can not be amended (other than editorial changes in the specification document), because of a requirement of backward compatibility with ESRI implementation. Consequently, the standard is unlikely to improve, or its evolution will be only lead by ESRI.
* OGC standards normally require interoperability experiments and a richer process to ratify a standard such as this one. No explanation has been forthcoming as to why a simplified process is appropriate in this case.

We are always welcoming sponsors!

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info:
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399.
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

JQuery Spatial

2012-09-14T12:29:02Z

Vmische: Updated page to mention the new name MapQuery

== About ==
This project moved on and is now called MapQuery and lives at http://mapquery.org/.

The mailing list is at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapquery

This page is dedicated to the integration of the jQuery JavaScript Library with geospatial web mapping projects. Currently developers from the following projects show interest:
* [[OpenLayers]]
* [[Mapbender]]

This page attempts to collect all information related to integrating spatial functionality with the jQuery library. We are always interested in other activities with the aim of joining resources instead of diluting them. If there is another more active community around we will gladly link to them and join forces as best we can. One known place of activity is:
* GQuery at http://github.com/iwillig/gQuery

== Ideas ==
There are different paths to follow, including but not limited to:
* implement a copy of GeoExt with jQuery
* create a geo / spatial extension for jQuery
* create [http://jqueryui.com/ jQuery UI] widgets
* GeoJQuery could become a jQuery plug-in

=== OpenLayers ===
One advice from Andreas Hocevar was not to live with inconsistences in OpenLayers, so do not built work-arounds, please fix them in OpenLayers.

=== Mapbender ===
Mapbender started using jQuery way back and it has become a core component in current versions. More information is available in the Mapbender Wiki:
* http://www.mapbender.org/Category:JQuery

== TODOos & Next Steps ==
# contact JQuery community, check for possibility of plugin, name "GeoJQuery" (Till)
# contact developpers of Gquery and try to get them involved (Till)
# early relase of first 0.001 release (Volker, Marc, Thorsten)

== History ==
After first thoughts about a project, where the AJAX-Javascript Library '''jQuery''' is linked to OpenLayers at the OpenLayers BOF at the FOSS4G 2009 in Sydney, Till Adams and Marc Jansen initialized a BOF with the working title "GeoJQuery" in March 2010 at the FOSSGIS (local chapter Germany conference) in Osnabrück.

=== Attendants ===
* Andreas Hocevar
* Marc Jansen
* Till Adams
* Thorsten Müller
* Volker Mische
* Arnulf Christl
* Jan Schorn
* Pirmin Kalberer
* Dominik Helle
* Oliver Tonhofer
* Martin Dresen
* Johannes Schulte Sudhoff

In March 2010 another BoF met at the [http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre/index.php?page=jornadas IV Jornadas SIG Libre] and continued to discusss the topic.

Bolsena Code Sprint 2012

2012-06-16T17:00:07Z

Vmische: Added blog post section

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (10-16 June 2012) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1221 10-16 June 2012] (Note: Date change!)
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2012]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]]

After four successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Registered Attendees ===

Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 550 Euro (Excl VAT) in advance to GeoCat bv to guarantee your place. Please contact me by email so I can send you the invoice and bank details. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and 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).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.

=== Sponsoring ===
We are always welcoming sponsors!

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1363&L=1&idMen=731 METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

= Introduction =
During the [http://2010.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2010 conference] in Barcelona, Spain, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Breakout Sessions sessions will be held on Wednesday 8th September ('''and possibly at other times as well - depending on interest'''). A number of rooms will be available. Most popular sessions will get bigger rooms.

'''Room allocation to be determined'''

FOSS4G 2010 Code Sprint

2010-08-18T00:00:29Z

Vmische: /* GeoJQuery */

== Organizing Contacts ==

*Wladimir Szczerban, Enric Rodellas

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Venue ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Friday, 10 Sep 2010''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&month=9&day=10&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=31 timeandate])

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

Bolsena Code Sprint 2010

2010-05-28T10:55:03Z

Vmische: Added arrival/departure information from me

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (6-12 June 2010) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: 6-12 June 2010
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2010]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]]

After two successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As last year, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Registered Attendees ===

Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 500 Euro in advance to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1363&L=1&idMen=731 METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am & 7.30pm).

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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.

Bolsena Code Sprint 2010

2010-05-26T09:47:13Z

Vmische: /* How to get back home */

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (6-12 June 2010) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: 6-12 June 2010
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2010]]
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]]

After two successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-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. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As last year, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Registered Attendees ===

Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 500 Euro in advance to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)
