== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

----

Great idea! I'd like to add a related get together. Anyone interested in starting the day with some tai chi and chi gong, let's meet in the Sheraton pool area (5th floor of the Tower building) at 6:00 am. If there's inclement weather, let's meet in the lobby of the Sheraton. If you are interested but are not staying at the Sheraton, let me know (retrev@csh.rit.edu or retrev on twitter) and we'll meet somewhere more convenient.

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

[[Image:Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg|thumb|400px|FOSS4G 2010 code sprint, in Barcelona]]
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 :)

== Venue ==

*Date: '''Saturday September 17th, 2011''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2011&month=9&day=17&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 timeandate])

== What to Bring ==

* power bars (only outlets for 30 computers exist)

== How to get there from the Sheraton ==

The easiest way to get there from the Sheraton is to catch the free shuttle bus along 16th Street to Larimer, then it's about a half mile walk from there (7-10 minutes) - just take a left on Larimer and keep going straight into the campus. More detail to come shortly on how to get to the exact rooms etc.

== Sponsor ==

Please! contact organizers: Rafael Moreno, or [[Jeff McKenna]]

== Questions/Comments/Ideas ==

* ask on the foss4g2011 mailing list ([http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2011 subscribe])

FOSS4G 2011 Code Sprint

2011-09-05T07:15:16Z

Wiki-Bastian.schaeffer:

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

[[Image:Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg|thumb|400px|FOSS4G 2010 code sprint, in Barcelona]]
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 :)

== Venue ==

*Date: '''Saturday September 17th, 2011''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2011&month=9&day=17&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 timeandate])

** room 440/540 (bilevel)
** room 640

== What to Bring ==

* power bars (only outlets for 30 computers exist)

== How to get there from the Sheraton ==

The easiest way to get there from the Sheraton is to catch the free shuttle bus along 16th Street to Larimer, then it's about a half mile walk from there (7-10 minutes) - just take a left on Larimer and keep going straight into the campus. More detail to come shortly on how to get to the exact rooms etc.

== Sponsor ==

Please! contact organizers: Rafael Moreno, or [[Jeff McKenna]]

== Questions/Comments/Ideas ==

* ask on the foss4g2011 mailing list ([http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2011 subscribe])

back to [[FOSS4G 2010]]

= 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'''

==Organising Contact==
* [[Tyler Mitchell]]
* [[Mauricio Miranda]]
* Other volunteers welcome - sign up here!

==Timeslots Available==

At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 18:00 to 19:00.

Remember the Gala Dinner is scheduled at 20:00.

=Room Assignments=
== Rooms Available ==

We will need to share the biggest rooms because we have more sessions than rooms.

Add your name to the "Moderator" column if you feel as a session's leader.

Please, contact us to ask for changes.

FOSS4G 2010 Code Sprint

2010-08-06T10:09:54Z

Wiki-Bastian.schaeffer: /* Project */

== 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).

'''DATE: SUNDAY 25 OCTOBER'''

'''Time: 10am - 4pm'''

'''Venue: Intersect, Level 12, 309 Kent St'''

This sprint will be held on Sunday 25 October at a different venue (Intersect). We ask everyone attending to add their name to the list below as we are limited to 12 people. First come, first served.

'''Coordinator:'''
* Ben Caradoc-Davies

'''Attending:'''
# Ben Caradoc-Davies
# Jody Garnett
# Andrea Aime
# Andrea Antonello
# Silvia Franceschi

'''Goals:'''
* Progress ISO 19107 / GML 3D geometry collaboration (OSGeom). See <tt><java-collab@lists.osgeo.org></tt> for more.

'''Plan:'''
Some subset of Markus Schneider's proposal:
# DONE - Remove all topological and spatial analysis methods in the interfaces from the SVN for now, so we can focus on sanitising the model.
# Add factories. I would like to add two factories similar to the ones in the deegree 3 SVN:
#* SFS geometries:
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/SimpleGeometryFactory.html
#* ISO 19107/GML 3
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/GeometryFactory.html
#* In deegree 3, these factories are bound to a JTS-based implementation. As we only have interfaces for the geometry types in the osgeom repository for now (and no implementations), I would create interfaces from the factories.
# Add a basic implementation that is just a bean representation without operations. We could finally start to add JUnit tests then.
# Add GML parsers/exporters. I understood that one may want to keep this aspect out of the repository, but I don't see how we could test the difficulties in representing GML geometries (e.g external xlinks) without this. It also would make setting up geometries for testing much easier. Maybe we could keep the GML parsing/exporting isolated from the rest of the code.
# Of course we would take on the operations subject again, when we find consensus here.

FOSS4G 2009 Code Sprint

2009-10-21T22:34:30Z

Wiki-Bastian.schaeffer: /* Summary of Workgroups */

== Organizing Contacts ==

* Jody Garnett, Tyler Mitchell

== 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 ==

'''DATE: SUNDAY 25 OCTOBER'''

'''Time: 10am - 4pm'''

'''Venue: Intersect, Level 12, 309 Kent St'''

This sprint will be held on Sunday 25 October at a different venue (Intersect). We ask everyone attending to add their name to the list below as we are limited to 12 people. First come, first served.

'''Coordinator:'''
* Ben Caradoc-Davies

'''Attending:'''
# Ben Caradoc-Davies
# Jody Garnett
# Andrea Aime
# Andrea Antonello
# Silvia Franceschi

'''Goals:'''
* Progress ISO 19107 / GML 3D geometry collaboration (OSGeom). See <tt><java-collab@lists.osgeo.org></tt> for more.

'''Plan:'''
Some subset of Markus Schneider's proposal:
# DONE - Remove all topological and spatial analysis methods in the interfaces from the SVN for now, so we can focus on sanitising the model.
# Add factories. I would like to add two factories similar to the ones in the deegree 3 SVN:
#* SFS geometries:
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/SimpleGeometryFactory.html
#* ISO 19107/GML 3
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/GeometryFactory.html
#* In deegree 3, these factories are bound to a JTS-based implementation. As we only have interfaces for the geometry types in the osgeom repository for now (and no implementations), I would create interfaces from the factories.
# Add a basic implementation that is just a bean representation without operations. We could finally start to add JUnit tests then.
# Add GML parsers/exporters. I understood that one may want to keep this aspect out of the repository, but I don't see how we could test the difficulties in representing GML geometries (e.g external xlinks) without this. It also would make setting up geometries for testing much easier. Maybe we could keep the GML parsing/exporting isolated from the rest of the code.
# Of course we would take on the operations subject again, when we find consensus here.

== Live DVD ==
'''Coordinator:''' Cameron Shorter

'''Attending:'''
* Ricardo Pinho

This group will not code software but rather have informal discussions about the road map and new requirements of the software Mapbender. Some work needs to be done to define and more importantly better communicate the unique selling point of Mapbender. It is currently the only Open Source software that ships with of the box features to deploy, maintain and operate large scale geo portals using nothing but browser interfaces.

== Georuby ==
'''Coordinator:'''
* Shoaib Burq

'''Attending:'''
* Person 1
* Person 2

'''Goals:'''
* http://github.com/nofxx/postgis_adapter/issues
* http://github.com/fragility/spatial_adapter/issues
* or just hack a cute app for the fun of it :-)
* take the code for 2009.foss4g.org and refactor the ruby helpers so that 2010 committee can use it

== QGIS / Mapserver ==
'''Coordinator:'''
* Richard Duivenvoorde / Jeff McKenna

'''Attending:'''
* Michael Smith
* Person 2

'''Goals:'''
* refine /make even better the mapserverexport plugin

** adding a 'url'-input in gui to be able to set the mapserver for the map file
** setting bbox per layer
** STATUS default true, DUMP default true??
** postgis layer stuff
** use label alignment from qgis
** font-file use? use font-size ?
** add some extra symbols OR use of symbol-size
** ?? use of current project instead of saved mapfile (??)
** XSLT from QGIS <-> Mapserver XML <-> MapServer Mapfile
