[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011]] : '''The Rendez-vous of the Tribes'''

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

== MapServer ==

* 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
* SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
* rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
* Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)
* Text rendering => always use labelpathobj (thomas)
* rasterBufferObj: premultiplied or not? (thomas, frankw)
* INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
* Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
* layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
* use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
* profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

== PostGIS ==

* 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type even if it means putting off til 2.1)
* 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
* Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
* Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain
* Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
* 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
* shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)
while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808
got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

Also add more regression tests for shp2pgsql,pgsql2shp
* Incubation issues -- not fun stuff but needs to be addressed, get list of all contributors, decide if each file will have blanket copyright with reference to contributor file, what to do with files that have no copyright markings

== PostGIS raster ==

== GeoPrisma / OpenLayers / GeoExt ==

'''Objectives, with (priority)'''

* (1) GeoPrisma: WFS
* Add service and proxy
* (done) Read GetFeatures
* GetCapabilities
* DescribeFeatureType
* Transaction (Insert, Update, Delete)
* (done) Adapt Layer widget to add support for WFS data sources
* Adapt existing widgets currently using featureserver to support wfs as well (editing, shortcut, etc.)

* (1) GeoPrisma: [http://dev8.mapgears.com/geoprisma/trunk/samples/pgsqlconfig/osgeocs/ Demo] with :
* (done) GeoPrisma (trunk) using the PGSQLMapContext config driver
* (done) GMap data (postgis & shapefiles)
* (done) MapServer (trunk) - WMS
* TinyOWS (trunk) - WFST (using MapServer mapfile)
* (done) MapFishPrint, supporting vector printing
* ZooProject - WPS

* '''(Done)''' GeoExt ux - LayerTreeBuilder: make the display of a Legend widget configurable on a per-layer basis?? (instead of on per-layer type basis). Solution : new 'hideInLegend' layer property transported to the GeoExt.data.LayerRecord object.
* (1) GeoExt ux - AttributeFilterPanel: add flexibility in how the Vector features are retrieved (i.e. using a Vector layer object to query an existing layer or using a Protocol object and creating a new Vector layer on the fly). This widget has a lot of overlap with GeoExt's FormPanel (in fact it was derived from it), we should try to merge the functionality of both widgets in a single one.
* (1) GeoPrisma - AttributeFilterPanel widget: #175 - write a sample (we may need a PostgreSQL server on the geoprisma.org machine), documentation and merge the branch to the trunk.
* '''(done)''' GeoPrisma: #164 - Add Vector layer type support for MapFishPrint service.
* (2) GeoExt ux - [http://dev.geoext.org/sandbox/mapgears/geoext.ux/ux/LayerTreeBuilder/examples/tree-builder.html LayerTreeBuilder] officialisation
* create ticket in [http://trac.geoext.org/ GeoExt TRAC]
* create a patch with an example and test units (with OpenLayers 2.10 and GeoExt 1.0)
* create a [http://trac.geoext.org/wiki/Community wiki page] for the ux explaining it
* ask a review to a core commiter
* (2) GeoExt ux - [http://dev.geoext.org/sandbox/mapgears/geoext.ux/ux/WMSBrowser/examples/WMSBrowser.html WMSBrowser] officialisation
* create ticket in [http://trac.geoext.org/ GeoExt TRAC]
* create a patch with an example and test units (with OpenLayers 2.10 and GeoExt 1.0)
* create a [http://trac.geoext.org/wiki/Community wiki page] for the ux explaining it
* ask a review to a core commiter

'''If we have more time'''

* (2) GeoPrisma - WPS service and proxy
* (2) GeoExt ux - LayerTreeBuilder: add support for multiple layers when calling a WMS service.
* (3) GeoPrisma: #168 - switch to ExtJS-style i18n for client widgets (maybe do 1 or 2 widgets as a proof-of-concept)
* (3) GeoPrisma: #149 - deprecate the PDFPrint widget ?
* (2) GeoPrisma: Try to setup and support mod-geocache

Montreal Code Sprint 2011

2011-03-01T22:01:01Z

Wiki-Etdube:

== 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-5pm

== Venue ==

Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)

* 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.

== Room Share ==

If you would like to room share,

# Reserve a room at the hotel, choosing a type with more than one bed.
# Put your name in this section, indicating the amount of space in your room.

Put your names below:

* example entry: B has a triple room, needs two roommates.

Special offer: I, [[User:Aleroux|Alexandre Leroux]], can provide free lodging for the whole event with these parameters: one double bed, private access (we'll let you a key), private kitchen with fridge, private shower and toilet. Internet wifi included. It's a 2-minutes walk from the Snowdon subway station, making it easy to go to the Code Sprint. That would be on the basement of where my wife, daughter and myself live. If interested, contact me directly.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible.

== FAQ ==

* Is the Montreal Code Sprint just a coding event?
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects 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.

== Social Events ==

== Eating Options ==

Some locations recommended by locals:

* Restaurants
** ...
* Bars
**

(Please do not hesitate to add locations to this list)

== Getting to the Sprint ==

=== From Trudeau International Airport (YUL) ===

Unfortunately there is no shuttle that goes straight from the airport to the hotel.

Here are some options (See also [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=45.454231,-73.748131&daddr=1110+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+QC+H3A+1G6,+Canada&hl=en&geocode=%3BFRxMtgIdbU-d-ynR5QLZQBrJTDE5mLJmp5RZkQ&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=13&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=02%2F25%2F11&time=7:22am&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&sll=45.469521,-73.682384&sspn=0.099197,0.222301&ie=UTF8&ll=45.500813,-73.574409&spn=0.099141,0.222301&z=13&iwloc=statictransit:&start=0 Google Maps]):

==== Option 1 - Express Bus 747 + Subway ====

http://www.admtl.com/Passengers/AccessAndParking/STMBuses.aspx

Take the 747 express bus from the Airport. The bus goes to Berri-UQAM, but do not go all the way to Berri-UQAM, you need to get off at the Lionel-Groulx stop, and then connect to the Metro Green Line (1) towards Station Honoré-Beaugrand. Get off at Station Peel (Stop ID: 10138). You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

Cost: 8$. At the airport, tickets are sold at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) counter on the international arrivals level.

==== Option 2 - Taxi ====

http://www.admtl.com/Passengers/AccessAndParking/TaxisAndLimousines.aspx

It seems that the simplest option is a taxi: there is a fixed price of 38$ for a ride downtown in the area of the hotel. (The person at the hotel insisted that this is a fixed price and if the driver asks for more then he is trying to screw you)

==== Option 3 - Train + Subway ====

VIA Rail offers a train shuttle from their Dorval train station to downtown (towards Montreal Central Station). The Dorval train station is not directly on the airport so you need to take the "AirConnect" shuttle to get to the train. More details here:

http://www.viarail.ca/en/useful-info/related-services/montreal-airport-shuttle

"After landing, go to the domestic or international flights terminal exit, where you'll see a clearly marked AirConnect stop. The shuttle comes by every 20 minutes, and will take you to the Dorval station for free."

Then Google suggests that the shortest route is to get off the train at Metro (Subway) Station Vendome, then take red line (2) towards Henri Bourassa and get off at Lionel Groulx. Finally take metro green line (1) towards Honoré-Beaugrand and get off at Peel. You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====

*Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
*You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
*Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
*Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
*Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
*Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====

*Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
*Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
**This will be of more use in remote areas.
*Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
**[Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====

*In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
*Options -> Import -> GPX track
*Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
*A red trace should appear along the coastline.
*Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====

*Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
*The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
*See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
*If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.
