== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial problems (as done last year at the [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012]] and previous years: [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

We have started a [[Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

== Timing ==

Dates: '''Weekday: Monday - Thursday 3/25-3/28'''
Duration: Four days (9AM - 5PM)

== Venue ==
''' Planned Location: ''' [http://www.devonshireboston.com/skyclub.html Devonshire Sky Club Conference Room] and if needed
spill over into Paragon Offices

Both across the street from Boston City Hall. Right along the [http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/ Freedom Trail] and about 2 blocks away
from the [http://www.fsf.org/about/contact/ Free Software Foundation head quarters].

** 12:30
* Tuesday
** 12:00
** 12:30
* Wednesday
** 12:00
** 12:30

== Sponsors ==
We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: >= $2000
* Silver: $1500
* Bronze: $750

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750+) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

Sponsors get the following benefits:

* Your banner at the top of this page
* 30-minute slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS (first come first serve)
* Get to sit with us at the sprint and have input in project road map of an OSGeo project you are interested in
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it. Remember that feature you wanted in X :)
* The good feeling that you have contributed to the FOSS GIS movement (priceless and good for the health too)

To sponsor, please contact Leo Hsu and Regina Obe (lr at pcorp dot us) directly regarding sponsorship and level of sponsorship you'd like to provide

We've decided not to get a block of rooms because it seems it is pricier than having people pick the hotel they like best.

Our recommendation is to book your own room via Hotwire or Priceline.

For Hotwire, any hotel in the Financial District will be within walking distance.

For Price Line, any hotel within ½ mile of 1 DEVONSHIRE PL BOSTON MA 02109 will be within walking distance.

Boston has no major conventions during the Code Sprint.

There are over a dozen hotels name-brand and boutique within a ½ mile, all rated above three stars.

Should you have specific questions, feel free to email us directly: lr at pcorp.us.
We’ll help you find the perfect accommodation.

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Boston, variable depending on where you are.
* Accommodation for four nights, $300 to $600 depending on what room you choose and whether you room share.
* Breakfast, dinner and other snacks.
* The sponsorship moneys will be put towards: morning snacks, lunches, dinner (1), social event (?), and trip subsidies (e.g. travel costs for core developers)

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint

* IRC chat during the event: Channel: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net

== Participation ==

We are planning for attendance of 20-40. Please add your name and the projects you are hoping to sprint and note the likeliness of your attendance.

For room if you need a room - put either:
single room - if you want your own
room share - if you'd prefer to share or don't care
local arrangements - put if you already have arrangements planned

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial problems (as done last year at the [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012]] and previous years: [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

We have started a [[Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750+) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

Sponsors get the following benefits:

* Your banner at the top of this page
* 30-minute slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS (first come first serve)
* Get to sit with us at the sprint and have input in project road map of an OSGeo project you are interested in
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it. Remember that feature you wanted in X :)
* The good feeling that you have contributed to the FOSS GIS movement (priceless and good for the health too)

To sponsor, please contact Leo Hsu and Regina Obe (lr at pcorp dot us) directly regarding sponsorship and level of sponsorship you'd like to provide

FOSS4G 2011 Code Sprint

2011-08-01T17:18:36Z

Wiki-Dustymugs: /* PostGIS */

== 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]) 
*'''Where:''' [http://www.tivoli.org/tivoli/ Tivoli Student Union building] (a former brewery), Auraria Campus

900 Auraria Parkway
Denver, CO
'''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.745249&lon=-105.005806&zoom=18&layers=M OSM map]'''

*'''Rooms: (each room has a 60-70 person capacity)'''
** 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])
