== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger 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.

= Purpose =

This is OSGeo's 4th annual "North American Codesprint" -- a time to bring members of OSGeo-related projects together to make decisions and tackle larger problems.

Previous event have been held in [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011).

= Timing =

February 5-9, 2012. 

The event will be begin on Feb 5th (Sunday night arrival), span three full days of sprinting, and end after lunch on the 9th (Thursday). 

= Venue =

It will be held at [http://www.islandwood.org/ IslandWood], a nonprofit retreat center located on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_Island,_Washington Bainbridge Island], an island a few miles west of Seattle in the northwest United States.

= Hosts =

Rushing in where angels fear to tread, Michael P. Gerlek (mpg) is taking the lead on this event. [http://www.cugos.org/ CUGOS], the local OSGeo chapter, is the hosting organization.

Local volunteers assisting include:

*Michael Rosen (LizardTech / CUGOS)
*Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley Inc / CUGOS)
*''<add your name here!>''

= Sponsors =

The Montreal sprint had ten $750 sponsors. We expect to have a similar number this year.

If you think you know of a possible sponsor, or if you are a possible sponsor, contact Michael P. Gerlek (mpg@flaxen.com).

The current 2012 sponsors are:

*Silver ($1500)
**[http://airborne.aero/ Airborne Interactive]
**[http://www.mobilegeographics.com/ Mobile Geographics]
**[http://qpublic.net/ qpublic.net]
**[http://www.zonarsystems.com/ Zonar]
**[http://www.opengeo.org/ OpenGeo]

*Bronze ($750)
**[http://www.cugos.org/ Anonymous/CUGOS]
**[http://www.boreal-is.com/ Borealis]
**[http://developmentseed.org/ Development Seed]
**[http://www.lizardtech.com/ LizardTech]
**[http://www.terragis.net/ Terra GIS]
**[http://www.azavea.com/ Azavea]

= Budget =

Expected costs include:

*facilities rental (conference rooms, etc)
*lodging (on-campus rooms)
*meals

We expect to cover costs in three ways:

*sponsorships
*participant registration fees
*surplus from previous years (approximately $2K)

= Registration, Participant Costs =

Participants cover only the costs of 4 nights lodging (single room at IslandWood): '''US$525'''. 

''There is no registration fee beyond the $525 for lodging.''

''All food and venue costs are covered by our sponsors.''

Participants will be responsible for paying their own transportation to and from IslandWood. 

'''Contact mpg@flaxen.com to register.'''

= Food =

IslandWood has an excellent on-site restaurant/cafeteria that emphasizes local, sustainable, and organic cuisine.

*Breakfast: continental style
*Lunch: boxed lunches
*Dinner: full meal, choice of entrees, beer/wine available
*Snacks: coffee, fruit, cookies, etc, will be provided in the meeting room

Accomodation can be made for any dietary restrictions.

= Communication =

All planning will take place on this wiki, on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint tosprint mailing list], and on the #tosprint IRC channel.

= Projects =

These are the projects will be working on:

*GDAL
*MapServer
*libLAS/PDAL
*PostGIS
*TinyOWS
*''<add your project here!>''

= Participants =

If you want to come, please add your name (and project(s)) here and indicate either "I'm interested, but won't know for sure until closer to the time" or "I'll definitely be there, and would be willing to pay the registration fee in advance"

*Michael P. Gerlek (Flaxen Geo) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite
*Michael D. Smith (US Army Corps) -- libLAS/PDAL/MapServer/GDAL -- definite/can pay in advance
*Frank Warmerdam (Google) -- tentative
*Daniel Morissette (Mapgears) -- MapServer, GDAL/OGR -- definite
*Craig Miller (SpatialMinds) -- MapGuideOS (possibly), QGIS (possibly) -- 98% -- Have some things to work out. May add another project to the list in upcoming months.
*Paul Ramsey (OpenGeo) -- PostGIS -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Jmckenna|Jeff McKenna]] (GatewayGeomatics) -- MapServer -- tentative
*Olivier Courtin (Oslandia) -- TinyOWS, PostGIS -- definite/can pay in advance
*Howard Butler (Hobu, Inc.) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Racicot|Aaron Racicot]] (Z-Pulley Inc.) -- QGIS, Mapserver -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Springmeyer|Dane Springmeyer]] (Development Seed) -- Mapnik, TileMill -- definite/can pay in advance
*Michael Rosen (Lizardtech) -- gdal/pdal -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:EliL|Eli Adam]] -- GeoMoose -- Interested, dependent on availability of other GeoMoose members
*[[User:Chodgson|Chris Hodgson]] (Refractions) -- PostGIS -- tentative
*Gary Sherman ([[http://geoapt.com GeoApt]]) -- QGIS -- tentative
*Steve Lime -- MapServer -- very likely
*[[User:Dzwarg|David Zwarg]] -- PostGIS -- definite/can pay in advance
*Pete Gadomski -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite/can pay in advance

Note that once registration is open, it will be **first come, first served**. Space is limited, so those who pay first will be at the front of the line.

= Agenda =

Still tentative, something like this:

'''Sunday'''

*''arrival throughout the day''
*perhaps dinner provided

'''Monday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Tuesday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Wednesday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Thursday'''

*''departures throughout the day''
*continental breakfast
*perhaps lunch provided

= Non-sprint Activities =

There will be one formal (but optional) "team building / outdoor fun" event, run for us by the IslandWood staff. Details TDB. Dress appropriately. The event will likely be 2-3 hours, before dinner on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

IslandWood offers lots of trails, ponds, etc, for informal walks / jogs / etc you can explore at any time on your own.

There will likely also be an informal walk down to the beach (2-3 miles, off campus), hosted by mpg.

= Transportation =

Getting to IslandWood is a 4-step process -- but don't panic, it's actually not as complicated as it sounds:

'''(1) To SeaTac Airport'''

Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to the [http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ Seattle airport].

'''(2) From Airport to Seattle Ferry dock'''

From SeaTac, you will need to get to the Colman ferry dock in downtown Seattle. Two options:

*a ~$40 cab ride, from airport to dock
*a ~$3 light rail from airport, followed by a walk of a few blocks to the dock

'''(3) From Seattle dock to Bainbridge dock'''

Take the [http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/ScheduleDetailByRoute.aspx?route=sea-bi Seattle/Bainbridge] ferry, for about $7. Ferries leave every hour or less all day long, except between about 1AM and 5AM.

'''(4) From Bainbridge dock to IslandWood'''

Cabs are almost always available at the Bainbridge dock -- a trip to IslandWood is about 10 miles, should be ~$15 or so. (Note that you will likely be sharing a cab with someone else; the island has a limited number of cabs, so they carpool. Just go with the flow.)

Depending on how things go, I might see if I can arrange a shuttle or something if multiple people are arriving all at once. Or if you get really stuck, you can call me and I'll just come get you.

(see also [http://islandwood.org/about/directions this page] for more transportation hints)

= FAQ =

'''Q: I'm new to open source and OSGeo. Can I come too?'''

This is a heads-down-and-laptops-open working meeting, aimed squarely at writing code/documentation and holding serious technical discussions about OSGeo-related projects. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects. If you're not already participating in one of the projects being worked on, this isn't the event for you. '''Q: But, that's not very fair. How am I supposed to learn about the projects and meet people?'''

Each project has portals like mailing lists, wikis, and IRC channels for you to start to meet people and get involved. If you really want to participate in the sprint, you should get involved with the project ahead of time.

'''Q: Will it be possible to give a presentation during this event?'''

No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

'''Q: I'm just a poor student, but I'm an active member of the <whatever> project and I really want to attend. Are scholarships available?'''

Maybe -- depends on how our budget turns out. Contact mpg@flaxen.com and we'll see what we can do.

= Purpose =

This is OSGeo's 4th annual "North American Codesprint" -- a time to bring members of OSGeo-related projects together to make decisions and tackle larger problems.

Previous event have been held in [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011).

= Timing =

February 5-9, 2012. 

The event will be begin on Feb 5th (Sunday night arrival), span three full days of sprinting, and end after lunch on the 9th (Thursday). 

= Venue =

It will be held at [http://www.islandwood.org/ IslandWood], a nonprofit retreat center located on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_Island,_Washington Bainbridge Island], an island a few miles west of Seattle in the northwest United States.

= Hosts =

Rushing in where angels fear to tread, Michael P. Gerlek (mpg) is taking the lead on this event. [http://www.cugos.org/ CUGOS], the local OSGeo chapter, is the hosting organization.

Local volunteers assisting include:

*Michael Rosen (LizardTech / CUGOS)
*Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley Inc / CUGOS)
*''<add your name here!>''

= Sponsors =

The Montreal sprint had ten $750 sponsors. We expect to have a similar number this year.

If you think you know of a possible sponsor, or if you are a possible sponsor, contact Michael P. Gerlek (mpg@flaxen.com).

The current 2012 sponsors are:

*Silver ($1500)
**[http://airborne.aero/ Airborne Interactive]

**[http://www.lizardtech.com/ LizardTech]
**[http://www.terragis.net/ Terra GIS]
**[http://www.azavea.com/ Azavea]

= Budget =

Expected costs include:

*facilities rental (conference rooms, etc)
*lodging (on-campus rooms)
*meals

We expect to cover costs in three ways:

*sponsorships
*participant registration fees
*surplus from previous years (approximately $2K)

= Registration, Participant Costs =

Participants cover only the costs of 4 nights lodging (single room at IslandWood): '''US$525'''. 

''There is no registration fee beyond the $525 for lodging.''

''All food and venue costs are covered by our sponsors.''

Participants will be responsible for paying their own transportation to and from IslandWood. 

'''Contact mpg@flaxen.com to register.'''

= Food =

IslandWood has an excellent on-site restaurant/cafeteria that emphasizes local, sustainable, and organic cuisine.

*Breakfast: continental style
*Lunch: boxed lunches
*Dinner: full meal, choice of entrees, beer/wine available
*Snacks: coffee, fruit, cookies, etc, will be provided in the meeting room

Accomodation can be made for any dietary restrictions.

= Communication =

All planning will take place on this wiki, on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint tosprint mailing list], and on the #tosprint IRC channel.

= Projects =

These are the projects will be working on:

*GDAL
*MapServer
*libLAS/PDAL
*PostGIS
*TinyOWS
*''<add your project here!>''

= Participants =

If you want to come, please add your name (and project(s)) here and indicate either "I'm interested, but won't know for sure until closer to the time" or "I'll definitely be there, and would be willing to pay the registration fee in advance"

*Michael P. Gerlek (Flaxen Geo) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite
*Michael D. Smith (US Army Corps) -- libLAS/PDAL/MapServer/GDAL -- definite/can pay in advance
*Frank Warmerdam (Google) -- tentative
*Daniel Morissette (Mapgears) -- MapServer, GDAL/OGR -- definite
*Craig Miller (SpatialMinds) -- MapGuideOS (possibly), QGIS (possibly) -- 98% -- Have some things to work out. May add another project to the list in upcoming months.
*Paul Ramsey (OpenGeo) -- PostGIS -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Jmckenna|Jeff McKenna]] (GatewayGeomatics) -- MapServer -- tentative
*Olivier Courtin (Oslandia) -- TinyOWS, PostGIS -- definite/can pay in advance
*Howard Butler (Hobu, Inc.) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Racicot|Aaron Racicot]] (Z-Pulley Inc.) -- QGIS, Mapserver -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:Springmeyer|Dane Springmeyer]] (Development Seed) -- Mapnik, TileMill -- definite/can pay in advance
*Michael Rosen (Lizardtech) -- gdal/pdal -- definite/can pay in advance
*[[User:EliL|Eli Adam]] -- GeoMoose -- Interested, dependent on availability of other GeoMoose members
*[[User:Chodgson|Chris Hodgson]] (Refractions) -- PostGIS -- tentative
*Gary Sherman ([[http://geoapt.com GeoApt]]) -- QGIS -- tentative
*Steve Lime -- MapServer -- very likely
*David Zwarg -- PostGIS -- tentative
*Pete Gadomski -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite/can pay in advance

Note that once registration is open, it will be **first come, first served**. Space is limited, so those who pay first will be at the front of the line.

= Agenda =

Still tentative, something like this:

'''Sunday'''

*''arrival throughout the day''
*perhaps dinner provided

'''Monday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Tuesday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Wednesday'''

*continental breakfast
*sprint all morning
*boxed lunch
*sprint all afternoon
*group sit-down dinner
*evening open/social time at the lodges

'''Thursday'''

*''departures throughout the day''
*continental breakfast
*perhaps lunch provided

= Non-sprint Activities =

There will be one formal (but optional) "team building / outdoor fun" event, run for us by the IslandWood staff. Details TDB. Dress appropriately. The event will likely be 2-3 hours, before dinner on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

IslandWood offers lots of trails, ponds, etc, for informal walks / jogs / etc you can explore at any time on your own.

There will likely also be an informal walk down to the beach (2-3 miles, off campus), hosted by mpg.

= Transportation =

Getting to IslandWood is a 4-step process -- but don't panic, it's actually not as complicated as it sounds:

'''(1) To SeaTac Airport'''

Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to the [http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ Seattle airport].

'''(2) From Airport to Seattle Ferry dock'''

From SeaTac, you will need to get to the Colman ferry dock in downtown Seattle. Two options:

*a ~$40 cab ride, from airport to dock
*a ~$3 light rail from airport, followed by a walk of a few blocks to the dock

'''(3) From Seattle dock to Bainbridge dock'''

Take the [http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/ScheduleDetailByRoute.aspx?route=sea-bi Seattle/Bainbridge] ferry, for about $7. Ferries leave every hour or less all day long, except between about 1AM and 5AM.

'''(4) From Bainbridge dock to IslandWood'''

Cabs are almost always available at the Bainbridge dock -- a trip to IslandWood is about 10 miles, should be ~$15 or so. (Note that you will likely be sharing a cab with someone else; the island has a limited number of cabs, so they carpool. Just go with the flow.)

Depending on how things go, I might see if I can arrange a shuttle or something if multiple people are arriving all at once. Or if you get really stuck, you can call me and I'll just come get you.

(see also [http://islandwood.org/about/directions this page] for more transportation hints)

= FAQ =

'''Q: I'm new to open source and OSGeo. Can I come too?'''

This is a heads-down-and-laptops-open working meeting, aimed squarely at writing code/documentation and holding serious technical discussions about OSGeo-related projects. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects. If you're not already participating in one of the projects being worked on, this isn't the event for you. '''Q: But, that's not very fair. How am I supposed to learn about the projects and meet people?'''

Each project has portals like mailing lists, wikis, and IRC channels for you to start to meet people and get involved. If you really want to participate in the sprint, you should get involved with the project ahead of time.

'''Q: Will it be possible to give a presentation during this event?'''

No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

'''Q: I'm just a poor student, but I'm an active member of the <whatever> project and I really want to attend. Are scholarships available?'''

Maybe -- depends on how our budget turns out. Contact mpg@flaxen.com and we'll see what we can do.

== 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.

Montreal Code Sprint 2011

2011-01-14T14:15:28Z

Wiki-Dzwarg: /* Participation */ confirmed dzwarg

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done in previous years at the [[New York Code Sprint 2010]] and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]]).

We have started a [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

== Timing ==

Dates: Tuesday-Friday, March 15-18, from approximately 9am-4pm

== Venue ==

Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)
[http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1002+sherbrooke+west+montreal+qc&sll=45.502703,-73.575719&sspn=0.00943,0.014977&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1002+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Qu%C3%A9bec+H3A+1Y1&z=16 1002, Sherbrooke West, suite 2400, Montreal QC]

* 2 large adjacent conference rooms located on 24th floor of a tower with great view of the city ([[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 - Possible Venues#pictures-cmm |see pictures]])
* Possibility to remove the wall between the two rooms to make a single larger room
* RJ-45 and power plugs in the floor
* Larger room: 14 tables for two = 28 person capacity
* Smaller room: 6 tables for two = 12 person capacity
* Possibility to rearrange the tables to fit our needs (e.g. make tables/teams of 6-8 people for instance)
* Projector in each room
* White boards on the wall between the two rooms (become unavailable if we remove the wall)

== Sponsors ==

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 $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

To sponsor, please contact Daniel Morissette (dmorissette at mapgears dot com) directly.

== 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).

'''We will have three buses to CodeSprint.'''

The bus schedule is:

9 am: Plaza Spain - Citilab (CodeSprint)

6 pm: Citilab - Plaza Spain.

 More than 100 attendees are expected!

== Sponsor ==
Citilab-Cornellà

 

== 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.

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

New York Code Sprint 2010

2010-01-14T16:15:26Z

Wiki-Dzwarg: added dzwarg participation

[[Image:i_osgeo_ny.png|right]]

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done last year at the [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]]). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Timing ==

Dates: February 20 to 23, 2010.

Duration: Four days (Saturday to Tuesday) from approximately 9am-4pm

== Venue ==

The Open Planning Project and OpenGeo will be hosting the event this year, in a penthouse event room ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/philaestheta/3922525728/in/set-72157622375114194/ pic1], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4081335110/ pic2], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4080572085/ pic3], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995391@N00/4080570151/ pic4]) on the top floor of their offices ([http://maps.google.com/maps?q=148+Lafayette+Street+new+york Map]).

Wiki-Dzwarg: added facebook group

== Philadephia Local Chapter ==
The Philadelphia chapter of OSGeo is based on the user group around metropolitan Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia chapter is a proposed chapter of OSGeo, seeking out a critical mass of users prior to formal Chapter incorporation.

== History ==

Started: November, 2008 at Chapter House coffee shop.

== Mission ==
The OSGeo Philadelphia Chapter strives to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The Chapter is focused on the Philadelphia metropolitan region of the United States. The group plans to host meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.

== Events ==

OSGeo Philadelphia Event calendar: [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=avencia.com_6717bcdaqcvbks362l17hvsbd0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York HTML] [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/avencia.com_6717bcdaqcvbks362l17hvsbd0%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics ICAL]

== Continuing Goals ==
* Advocate for the use of Open Source GIS at regional and state levels
* Help act as a breeding ground for new projects
* Serve as starting point/meetup resource for geospatial software discussions.

In a perfect world, we would like to see OSGeo-PHL as:
* A meeting place for Software Developers to gather and discuss FOSS4G technologies.
* Meetings could be facilitated by members who are interested in specific OS Geo projects/goals.
* Meetings could be opportunities for members to participate in code sprints.

Notes on meetings: they should be presented as opportunities for both learners and doers. Learning a technology can be 1/2 the meeting time, and coding can be the remainder. Meetings should be advertised as 2-in-1, for example: Today we are listening to a presentation on OpenLayers for an hour. Following that, we will be coding on member projects or OSGeo projects for about an hour. Following that will be socialization at a nearby pub. Come for the learning, come for the coding, come for the beer, or come for all of them.

== Near Term Goals ==

* <del>Set up mailing list</del>
* <del>IRC room</del>, meeting time
* <del>Set up OSGeo PHL event calendar</del>
* Identify mailing list audience and get to them
* Come up with list of goals for group? Maybe a basic context for user list (list of topics/guidelines).

====Strategic Objective====

Setup a class/training in association with a local hacker space to get people interested in mapping, and start advertising the local OSGeo-PHL name/chapter idea.

Much OSGeo related communication happens in IRC (Internet Relay Chat), an instant messaging protocol. Lots of general information on IRC is available in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Wikipedia].

== Clients ==

IRC requires IRC client software. There are a wide variety of clients available. The
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatZilla ChatZilla] client is available for Firefox users on all platforms.

IRC uses a TCP/IP port which is often blocked in environments with strictly managed internet access. In these environments it is still possible to use http based clients such as:

* http://irc.telascience.org/
* http://www.mibbit.com/

== Channels ==

The primary OSGeo channel is #osgeo on the irc.freenode.net network. Generally speaking you would connect to irc.freenode.net and then issue the "/join #osgeo" command or possibly follow the irc://irc.freenode.net/osgeo URL.

Other channels of interest:

== Etiquiette ==

* Don't ask to ask, just go ahead and ask your question.
* Don't paste large chunks of text into IRC channels. If you want to present a code or configuration file snippet to others to look at use a "pasting service" like http://rafb.net/paste to host the snippet, and then paste the url to it into the IRC channel.
* If you want the attention of a particular person, include their nick in the message and they will generally be alerted (flashed, bell rung, etc).
* Give folks a while to respond. They are usually multi-tasking and might not look at IRC for a while.
* If an active conversation is going on, wait for a lull to raise a different topic (a minute of inactivity for instance)

== Logs ==

Many popular OSGeo related channels are logged. The #osgeo channel logs are at:

http://logs.qgis.org/osgeo

Other logs may also be found under:

http://logs.qgis.org/<add project name>

Some channels (ie. #mapserver and #osgeo) are also logged on IRSeek (http://www.irseek.com), an IRC search engine.
