GeoServer Code Sprint 2016

2015-12-17T21:31:53Z

Wiki-Ethiry:

== Purpose ==

The GeoServer web administration console is built on top of the [https://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket] 1.4.x series,
which is pretty old and unmaintaned. The purpose of the sprint is to update it to Wicket 7.x, the current stable version.

[[File:Wicket-upgrade.png|center|Upgrade from Wicket 1.3 to Wicket 7]]

Due to the large distance between the two releases and the number of backwards incompatible changes accumulated
by Wicket in the years this will require the concerted effort of a handful of developers over a few days, including the
changes to upgrade the code, and the thorough hand testing of the resulting modified interface.

We would like to extend our thanks to the following sponsors:

In scope:

* Use of Java 8 syntax to reduce wicket boiler plate code
* After each screen has passed manual testing Mike Pumphrey will be on hand for documentation and screen snaps
* Mike Pumphrey will be on hand to update user guide as each screen is completes testing

Out of scope:

* Changing the codebase to use a different library (the effort would be at least an order of magnitude bigger)
* Improve the behavior of the current UI (we can make improvements at the end, once everything works, if time remains)

=== Organizers ===

* Jody Garnett - Boundless
* Andrea Aime - GeoSolutions

=== Venue and dates ===

The code sprint will be held in Victoria BC to minimize travel costs. Boundless has offered to provide a venue (either the Boundless Victoria offices or a local technology centre).

The date is tentatively set for the week of January 18th.

This date is selected towards of the GeoServer 2.9 release cycle prior to the code freeze in February, keeping resource availability in mind.

=== Accommodation and costs ===

Participants should plan the travel, accommodation and meals.

* Depending on sponsorship level guests to Victoria will be hosted at or billeted with local community.
* At the time of writing accommodation for four guests is available (thanks to Jody Garnett and Martin Davis).

We hope to raise enough financial support to cover overseas travel, and possibly meals.

== Sponsorship ==

We have the following sponsorship levels:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Gold
| style="text-align:right;" | $1000 CAD
| style="text-align:right;" | $740 USD
| style="text-align:right;" | €548 EUR

|-
| Bronze

| style="text-align:right;" | $185 USD
| style="text-align:right;" | €137 EUR
|-
| Beer || colspan="3" | In-kind contributions are graciously accepted
|}

Contributions will be put towards travel costs for overseas sprinters who would be otherwise unable to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint. We have set-up the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication, including GeoServer 2.9 release announcement
* Our gratitude :)

To sponsor, please contact [[Jody Garnett]], [[User:Aaime|Andrea Amie]] or [[Michael Smith]] (OSGeo Treasurer).

=== Sponsorship Outreach ===

We are reaching out to organizations to see if there is interest in sponsorship:

* International organizations (OSGeo, Boundless, GeoSolutions);
* Local organizations (BC Government, Refractions, Vivid Solutions)

If there is a lot of local sponsorship we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).

If you cannot attend in person you may still be in position to update screens or assist with testing a nightly build overnight. Close collaboration for manual testing will require use of IRC/Skype/Hangout as appropriate for the parties involved.

We hope to raise enough financial support to cover long hauls from Europe, and possibly meals.

== Sponsorship ==

We have setup the sprint to minimize travel and accommodation costs, and are looking for sponsors primarily to cover residual travel costs.

* OSGeo (pending)
* Boundless

We will reach out to local organizations (BC Government, Refractions, Vivid Solutions) to see if there is interest in sponsorship. If so we expect to drag the developers away from the task at hand and meet the local community (at a social evening or similar).

== Participation ==

Participation can be either in person or remote via IRC/Skype/Hangout (specific tool TBD based on who's participating)

TBD: Depending on sponsorship level guests to Victoria will be hosted at or billeted with local community.

== OSGeo Funding Request ==

The following information is requested by OSGeo Board [[Code_Sprint_Guidelines]]:

=== Basic Information ===

* Audience: 10 people are expected
* Region: Victoria, British Columbia
* Projects: GeoServer
* Length: 5 days
* Venue: Boundless has generously offered their Victoria office for the activity, and offered to rent a local shared office space if necessitated by the number of attendees.

=== Expected budget ===

Costs:

* Attendee Registration: n/a
* Venue: $1250 (at http://forttectoria.ca)
* In-kind: Above Venue

Travel costs:

* Cost per attendee (Local): $0
* Cost per attendee (Italy): $1400 CAD (airfare)
* Cost per attendee (DC): $900 CAD (airfare)
* Cost per attendee (STL): $850 CAD (airfare)
* Cost per attendee (Calgary, Canada): $400 CAD (airfare)
* Cost per attendee (Rosario, Argentina): $3200 CAD (airfare)

Sponsorship:

* Third party sponsorship:
* OSGeo sponsorship: $3000 towards travel costs

We would like to briefly acknowledge the difficulty of recording in-kind contributions of resources and staff given the OSGeo template. The bulk of the cost associated with code-sprint participation is reflected in staff availability, often far outstripping airfare and accommodation costs.

* Boundless: 5-8 people
* GeoSolutions: 2-3 people

=== Financials ===

This event is planned to incur a loss, given the short lead up time.

If any profit is amassed from sponsorship it will be returned to the OSGeo foundation.
