&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Purpose ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
problems as in previous years: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Vienna Code Sprint 2014|Vienna]] (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Boston Code Sprint 2013|Boston]] (2013)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood (Seattle)]] (2012)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While past code sprints have targeted &lt;br /&gt;
members of the &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; (e.g.,  MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, &lt;br /&gt;
MapGuide, OpenLayers), other open source geospatial tribes are welcome to join the sprint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event organizer, Azavea, is also proposing that this be a joint code sprint with the Eclipse Foundation's LocationTech working group.  There are several developers &lt;br /&gt;
that work on projects associated with both OSGeo and LocationTech, and we believe &lt;br /&gt;
it be an opportunity for some healthy exchange and collaboration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Venue ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Potential Workspace ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Azavea's office is in Center City Philadelphia and we can host up to 40 people. However, based on the number of people attending in Vienna, we would like to plan for more.  We currently expect to use the following venue:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Friends Center''' - http://www.friendscentercorp.org/ - Conference Center operated by the Society of Friends; has wifi, but not enough bandwidth, so would have to push for augmentation. We will occupy the Cherry St Room, which includes some breakout rooms around it.  Friends Center is in a central location, close to public transit and has space for 75 - 100 people.  It is located at 1501 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We may also use Azavea's office and other location for social events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Philadelphia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Purpose ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
problems as in previous years: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Vienna Code Sprint 2014|Vienna]] (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Boston Code Sprint 2013|Boston]] (2013)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood (Seattle)]] (2012)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While past code sprints have targeted &lt;br /&gt;
members of the &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; (e.g.,  MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, &lt;br /&gt;
MapGuide, OpenLayers), other open source geospatial tribes are welcome to join the sprint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event organizer, Azavea, is also proposing that this be a joint code sprint with the Eclipse Foundation's LocationTech working group.  There are several developers &lt;br /&gt;
that work on projects associated with both OSGeo and LocationTech, and we believe &lt;br /&gt;
it be an opportunity for some healthy exchange and collaboration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Venue ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Potential Workspace ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Azavea's office is in Center City Philadelphia and we can host up to 40 people. However, based on the number of people attending in Vienna, we would like to plan for more.  We currently expect to use the following venue:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Friends Center''' - http://www.friendscentercorp.org/ - Conference Center operated by the Society of Friends; has wifi, but not enough bandwidth, so would have to push for augmentation.

 &lt;br /&gt;
Sponsors will receive the following honors:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Your logo or portrait at the top of this page&lt;br /&gt;
* 30-min slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS at the sprint&lt;br /&gt;
* Get to stare at us during the sprint and voice your input in person&lt;br /&gt;
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== General Information ==&lt;br /&gt;
During the [http://2014.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2014 conference] in Portland, USA, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/ https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rooms ===&lt;br /&gt;
We have three rooms each day at the Convention Center: E146, E147, &amp;amp; E148. These rooms are dedicated spaces so BoF to your heart's content! Default room configuration will be long tables arranged a U-shape (although &amp;quot;contents may settle while BoF'ing&amp;quot;). The room capacities stated below are based off of that U configuration. We'll try to have some additional chairs available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Technically the Exhibit Hall has room too. It will be arranged ballroom style with round tables. However, keep in mind it is a large, open, and public space. As such, it can't really be reserved, and is probably not ideal for a formal meeting (i.e. it could be noisy). In a nut shell, use at your own risk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Capacities ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E146: 36&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E147: 18&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E148: 20&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
= BoF's at the Oregon Convention Center =&lt;br /&gt;
== General Information ==&lt;br /&gt;
During the [http://2014.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2014 conference] in Portland, USA, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/ https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rooms ===&lt;br /&gt;
We have three rooms each day at the Convention Center: E146, E147, &amp;amp; E148. These rooms are dedicated spaces so BoF to your heart's content! Default room configuration will be long tables arranged a U-shape (although &amp;quot;contents may settle while BoF'ing&amp;quot;). The room capacities stated below are based off of that U configuration. We'll try to have some additional chairs available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Technically the Exhibit Hall has room too. It will be arranged ballroom style with round tables. However, keep in mind it is a large, open, and public space. As such, it can't really be reserved, and is probably not ideal for a formal meeting (i.e. it could be noisy). In a nut shell, use at your own risk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Capacities ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E146: 36&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E147: 18&lt;br /&gt;
* Room E148: 20&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== ELOGeo - learning materials for FOSS-GIS ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time Slot and location: Friday, 1-1:30pm, GeoCamp (marquee)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ELOGeo platform has been set up as a means for the community to share learning resources for FOSS GIS under a Creative Commons 3 licence. We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think!  (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content &amp;amp; access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics:&lt;br /&gt;
* how useful is the current collection of materials?&lt;br /&gt;
* organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?&lt;br /&gt;
* design: how could this be improved?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
GeoExt brings together the geospatial know how of OpenLayers with the user interface savvy of Ext JS to help you build powerful desktop style GIS apps on the web with JavaScript. With the development of OpenLayers 3, does it make sense to create GeoExt 3 ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics:&lt;br /&gt;
* GeoExt 3 ?&lt;br /&gt;
* Possible alternatives ?&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*  When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee. &lt;br /&gt;
'''since this page has always said that the OSGeo/OGC BoF will be in the marquee we will go ahead and meet there. Please ignore the confusion of the suggestion to meet in student halls'''&lt;br /&gt;

== OSGeo-Live ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Topics&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
* PostCards&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== OSGeo-Live ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time Slot: ??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who is coming:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:kalxas|Angelos Tzotsos]] (OSGeoLive developer)&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*  When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== OSGeo-Live ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time Slot: ??&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.&lt;br /&gt;

= Past OSGeo Advocates =&lt;br /&gt;
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Understanding OSGeo roles =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: We only have 8 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.&lt;br /&gt;
oovida&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:&lt;br /&gt;
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See &amp;quot;login&amp;quot; link in top right of this page).&lt;br /&gt;
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&amp;amp;action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).&lt;br /&gt;
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Country, using the following:&lt;br /&gt;
  {{User:&amp;lt;YourOSGeoWikiUserName&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =&lt;br /&gt;
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Other Resources =&lt;br /&gt;
Links to other organizations running a similar process. &lt;br /&gt;

== Andrew Ross ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello and welcome to my profile page over here at OSGeo. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I currently work at Eclipse as Director of Ecosystems. My job is to help companies involved with open source software make money. As a long time OSGeo-ite, naturally I'm constantly on the look out for ways to help advance geospatial technology. One idea I'm working on is investigating the feasibility of a geospatial industry working group at Eclipse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My previous job was Director of Engineering at Ingres where I was responsible for the geospatial program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also founded [http://fosslc.org FOSSLC] which is a non-profit organization hosting thousands of great quality videos from open source conferences. If you visit it, you can find videos from , , , and more from other great open source ecosystems like Eclipse, OpenStreetMap, PostgreSQL, FreeBSD/NetBSD/etc and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
