European GIS Code Sprint

2007-09-03T09:09:02Z

Wiki-Hopfgartner: /* Attending */

== European Code Sprint proposal ==

This event is planned as European follow-up of the Canadian [[FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint]] in September.
It is thought for those who for whatever reason did miss the Canadian sprint, but also for those who started something in Canada and need to meet again once more after a few months.

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

<i>(The following is taken from the page describing the planned
[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_CodeSprint Canadian Code Sprint at Foss4G2007].)</i>

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done.
They get 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...

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

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section at the bottom of your page for your project.

== Who should attend ==

* Developers that need to meet the community and discuss issues about a particular project.
* Developers that have the feeling that knowing the different projects communities gives added value and often saves from doing things twice
* Power users that are able to contribute documentation, decend bugdescriptions and perhaps even help to fix minor issues.
* Web experts that want to contribute to their favorite projects by helping to set up the web page.

== Aims of the SFScon 2007 Code Sprint ==

For developers:
* bring different projects to know each other and build up some standard interaction
* let the teams of each project meet, discuss, design and code together fulltime and non-remotely for a few days (this often pushes projects more than months of email and IRC working)
* bugfixing

For Power Users:
* the possibility to meet the developer comunity and help (and be helped) with documentation and translation
* the possibility to propose important bugfixes (prior documented and reproductable, only power user accepted)

For everyone out there:
* Collaborate on the creation of a free dataset by wandering in an ordered way through a defined region with GPS. The dataset should contain as many data as possible, as for example the dataset of the [http://www.grassbook.org/grasslocations/nc_spm_06_contents.html grassbook] does. Moreover climatic and hydrologic/hydraulic data should be integrated in order to support different analyses.

== The Location ==

The code sprint will be organized as a post-event of the South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007 held in Merano (BZ), Italy.
* SFScon location and GIS Code Sprint location is in Merano, at the "Franz Kafka Highschool, and can be found [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&ie=UTF8&ll=46.670753,11.158923&spn=0.004829,0.009956&z=17&om=1 here].

== Planned Dates ==

* 16-17 Nov 2007: [http://www.sfscon.it/ South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007]
* 18 Nov 2007 (Sunday): Outdoor GIS data collection for Free data set (somewhere in South Tyrol)
* 19-21 Nov 2007: GIS Code Sprint

== Who will organise the sprint ==

The [http://www.tis.bz.it/bereiche/free-software-1 Free Software Center] of Bolzano, Italy, will take care of the organisative part of the event and investigate sponsorings for some parts of the free dataset.

== Interested in Coming ==
Time is rather short and we would like to understand how much interest
there is in such an event and more or less how many developer would
like to attend.

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:Neteler | Markus Neteler]]
* [[User:Arnulf Christl | Arnulf Christl]]
* [[User:JoWalsh | Jo Walsh]]
* [[User:Mloskot | Mateusz Loskot]]
* [[User:Napo | Maurizio Napolitano]]
* [[User:Ominiverdi | Lorenzo Becchi]]
* [[User:Silli | Silvia Franceschi]]
* [[User:Pviskanic | Paolo Viskanic]]

We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could
bring together different projects, that really need to interact if
they want to have a glorious future.
