&lt;div&gt;== CodeSprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venue: Bonn, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, circumstances have forced us to divide the codesprint timetable-wise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp5.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp6.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp7.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp1.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
'''The first part''' is scheduled to take place directly before the conference, the second immediately after. The first two and a half days start on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at around noon and are scheduled to end on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 (open end). The '''second part''' starts in the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016 and ends on Sunday at 12 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp2.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp3.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
We are happy to have found a really '''awesome location''' for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out  http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.&lt;br /&gt;
Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Basecamp4.png|200px|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Another hint: the BaseCamp is within '''walking distance from the conference venue''' (WCCB) and has good access to public transportation –  the Icebreaker takes place here, too.&lt;br /&gt;
You see, it’s worthwhile booking here!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As the accommodations are available to all FOSS4G participants, we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. For that, it’s necessary for you to sign up (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint) and leave your email address so that we can contact you immediately accomodation booking is available. We need your sign-up for the planning of snacks and drinks, too!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for  project so everyone is cordially invited to attend the codesprints! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in codesprint.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
One thing we’d like to ask you: with an approx. 120 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Open Letter of the Need for Open Standards in LiDAR=&lt;br /&gt;
April 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, the undersigned, are concerned that the current interoperability between LiDAR applications, through use of the open &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; format, is being threatened by ESRI's introduction and promotion of an alternative &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; '''''proprietary format.''''' This is of grave concern given that fragmentation of the LAS format will reduce interoperability between applications and organisations, and introduce vendor lock-in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We request that:&lt;br /&gt;
# The OGC initiate the formalisation of an open standard for storing LiDAR data, and that OGC sponsors help prioritise the development of this open LiDAR standard.&lt;br /&gt;
# ESRI support the OGC in their [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/vision mission] &amp;quot;to advance the development and use of international standards and supporting services that promote geospatial interoperability.&amp;quot; In particular, ESRI join the OGC in consolidating an Open Standard for use of LiDAR data. This might include proposing ESRI's &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; as an Open Standard to remove any technical or legal hurdles in use of &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; as an Open Standard. A simple test to determine if &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; can be used as an Open Standard would be if &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; can legally be implemented by Open Source software such as libLAS or LASzip.&lt;br /&gt;
# Users and sponsors of LiDAR data, publicly state their preference for the use of an open LiDAR format over proprietary when selecting software and services.&lt;br /&gt;
# The custodians of the open LAS format [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)], who are part of [http://www.asprs.org/ American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS)], request the term &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; not to be included in the name of a proprietary format, as it makes such a proprietary format appear to be an approved derivative of LAS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Background=&lt;br /&gt;
==About LiDAR==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar LiDAR] (Light Detection And Ranging) is a form of high precision range measurement, much like a radar system, that uses laser light instead of electromagnetic waves. The standard LiDAR product is a 3D point cloud that can be conceptualized as a series of point measurements representing distance between the sensor to a returned emission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For over a decade (since 2003), there has been a common format for storing LiDAR data, the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html “LAS” format], and open source libraries have been developed to read, write and process these LAS files: [http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/liblas_overview.html libLAS] and [http://github.com/LASlib/LASlib LASlib]. These libraries have been incorporated within many LiDAR applications, allowing read/write access to a common exchange format, and resulting in full interoperability between the applications. There is also an open source compression algorithm for the LAS format called [http://laszip.org LASzip] that many LiDAR data portals use to compress LAS into smaller LAZ files for faster download. Many LiDAR software packages have added [http://laszip.org/#software-with-native-laz-support native support] for these compressed LAZ files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==LAS Limitations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quoting [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ Paul Ramsey]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: LAS format is not without its drawbacks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* While it is a binary format and does not waste any space unnecessarily, neither does it apply any compression to the data it stores. That’s not good for archival use.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Also, LAS stores points in scan order, so accessing any particular chunk of points involves reading the whole file. That’s not good for random access.&lt;br /&gt;
: Clearly there is a little more work to be done. Can LAS be improved? In fact, it already has been:&lt;br /&gt;
:* An open source compression library, LASzip can apply 20''':'''1 lossless compression to LAS files, making them great for archival purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Other LAS users have experimented with re-ordering points in a LAS or LASzip file to allow random access to internal chunks of the LIDAR point cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
: Basically, making LAS smaller and faster is not rocket science, and if the work were incorporated into libLAS then the whole LIDAR community could leverage it together, and the user community would only have one file type to interchange.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; A ''' ''Proprietary'' ESRI Format'''==&lt;br /&gt;
ESRI has announced the release of an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214 &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;] format which is claimed to provide faster access and smaller file sizes (similar to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format). This announcement created a outburst of vocal protest in the LiDAR community [[http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ 1] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ 2] [http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2014/01/15/las-laz-lazzip-zlas-and-you/ 3] [http://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/lidar-software 4] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars-2/ 5] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/02/lidar-format-wars-3/ 6]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format is neither published, nor available under any open license, which provides both technical as well as legal barriers for other applications reading and/or writing to this proprietary format. This creates a vendor lock-in scenario which is contrary to the principles of the Open Geospatial Consortium, the OSGeo Foundation, and many government IT procurement policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One year after releasing the &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format, ESRI released a free Windows DLL that is claimed to convert between LAS and &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;. Note there is a distinct difference between &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;open&amp;quot;. Unless the Windows DLL is released under an &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; license, libLAS and related products will be legally prevented from incorporating ESRI's reader/writer code into their codebase, or from fixing any underlying bugs or performance limitations which may exist in ESRI's product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OGC's Efforts For An ''' ''Open'' LiDAR Standard'''==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)] has indicated their interest in developing a standard LiDAR format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carl Reed (formerly on OGC staff) provided the following information on OGC's previous efforts to work toward enabling Open Standards in LiDAR:&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Over the last 8 or so years, the OGC approached ASPRS at least twice regarding LAS and worked with ASPRS to bring LAS into the OGC for consideration as both a Best Practice and an OGC standard. OGC member Rick Pearsall worked diligently on this. Rick worked for NGA, was active in the OGC, and was also the Standards Committee chair at ASPRS. Rick and Carl tried and failed. These attempts go back to [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/divisions/ppd/ppd_meetings/2007springppdreport.pdf at least 2007]. More recently, Carl Reed had an email dialogue with Lewis Graham to bring LAS into OGC as an OGC Best Practice. Carl thought progress was being made, but then for some reason all communication stopped.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/organization/staff/ssimmons Scott Simmons] (Executive Director, Standards Program) has explained the OGC's continuing interest in pursuing point cloud encoding standards, including a member-initiated mechanism to extend LAS data with OGC-standard XML content.&lt;br /&gt;
: The OGC invites interested members who wish to work on this effort to please contact Scott Simmons (Executive Director, Standards Program  E-mail : ssimmons@opengeospatial.org) to register their interest and discuss details.  OGC will also be holding an ad hoc session at the OGC's next [http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/1506tc Technical Committee meeting in Boulder, CO, USA in early June] to bring together all interested parties from all sectors (government, industry, academia) for this and plan next steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History: LAS and ESRI's &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Martin Isenburg, one of the leading experts in LIDAR formats, and creator of [http://rapidlasso.com/LASzip LASzip], [http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools LAStools] and [http://rapidlasso.com/PulseWaves PulseWaves], explains the history of LAS and &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''Summary:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* The LAS format has been used successfully for over a decade.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Within last couple of years, ESRI has added native LAS support into ESRI products.&lt;br /&gt;
:* ESRI discussed embracing the open [http://laszip.org LAZ] format and simultaneously developed a proprietary &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The open geospatial community offered, on numerous occasions, to work with ESRI to avoid format fragmentation.&lt;br /&gt;
:* ESRI's proprietary &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format is very similar in design and performance to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''1998: Original LAS format definition'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original development of the LAS format started in 1998 according to [http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lasroom/zKqchDj1JL4/discussion Lewis Graham]. The effort was at first led by pioneers of the LiDAR industry until the format was donated to the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html ASPRS]. Since then ASPRS's [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)] has been maintaining the LAS format, guiding it from the initial LAS 1.0 version until today's LAS 1.4 version. This effort successfully created an open data exchange format for discrete LiDAR points that is currently supported by practically every LiDAR-related software program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''2011: ESRI joins LAS Working Group'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ESRI did not join the LWG of the ASPRS until rather late, the 24th of August in 2011. At that time ESRI was not a significant &amp;quot;player&amp;quot; in the LiDAR market given they did not have much support for LiDAR in any of their products. That was to change soon as they were planning to add LAS as a native data type in ArcGIS 10.1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shortly before that, in June 2011, Martin Isenburg received a personal message from the ESRI development team: &amp;quot;I have a question about LAS compression. I’m evaluating some potential enhancements and support for [LAS and] LAZ is one of them. Compression time and amount is impressive.&amp;quot; When inquiring two months later about the status of [http://laszip.org LAZ] integration Martin was told: &amp;quot;We’re in beta and working to finish the current release. I very much doubt LAZ will make it in because it’s too big a change at this time. So, we’ll be considering, for the following release, [for] what we want to do regarding compression and spatial indexing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''June 2012: ArcGIS 10.1 includes [proprietary] LAS Dataset file'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In June 2012 ESRI released ArcGIS 10.1 and introduced the proprietary &amp;quot;LAS Dataset file (*.lasd)&amp;quot; that groups collections of files into one logical unit. This format of this useful LAS container file was not shared with others despite several private and eventually [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/jwHpi0efUgA/discussion public] requests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''2012/2013: Collaboration Discussions'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: There were encouraging follow-ups from the ESRI team about adopting the open LAZ format in January 2012: &amp;quot;I would be interested in having a more in depth meeting with you to better understand the great work you are doing with LAS and how we can possibly better partner on this.&amp;quot; and again in December 2012: &amp;quot;If you have time, I'd like to set some time aside Tuesday afternoon to meet with &amp;lt;an important person&amp;gt; at the ESRI booth. Does 2pm sound okay?&amp;quot; The meeting went well and it looked as if ESRI was going to embrace the LAZ format because shortly after the meeting Martin got word that: &amp;quot;I hear from &amp;lt;an important person&amp;gt; that it was a  success and that he had a good meeting with you. I wanted to see if we can have a telephone discussion on Wednesday or Thursday this week related to the potential of incorporating LAZ into ArcGIS.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Then the first signs of hesitation showed. First there were legal issues raised in February 2013: &amp;quot;Currently the legal aspects are being reviewed. They were having some issues separating the LPGL aspects from LASzip from the remainder of LAStools etc.&amp;quot; and then in April 2013 concerns about the code were made: &amp;quot;We have started to look into the integration of LAZ, but came across some issues. We don’t want to copy files from the other package, mix and match or hack around. We were hoping for an API to stream points out of a LAZ file as well as write LAZ files. There should be a simple code sample for that?&amp;quot; and - following up on that - in June 2013 Martin was told &amp;quot;I see value in LASzip becoming a de-facto standard that provides compression to the LAS format. If this is to happen then it needs to be bundled together with appropriate reference implementations, examples and documentation as a standard and so ensure that issues as defined earlier in email do not occur.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''June 2013: ESRI asked to sponsor clean LASzip DLL'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: At that time [http://laszip.org LASzip] was an open source project without sponsorship. The original funding from [http://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Locations/ColdRegionsResearchandEngineeringLaboratory.aspx USACE] that had turned [http://laszip.org LASzip] from an academic prototype into an industry strength compression engine had long run out. So Martin asked ESRI to become a sponsor to create the clean [http://laszip.org LASzip] API that ESRI was after. The answer was: &amp;quot;ESRI often helps in the financing of Open Source projects and I could foresee ESRI possibly helping in LASzip. [...] If you are interested in promoting LASzip as such a standard and doing the required work then I would recommend you put together a proposal and I can look to get ESRI as a sponsor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Immediately Martin proposed to ESRI: &amp;quot;I hereby propose to write an easy to use open source DLL wrapper for LASzip that will make it easier to integrate LASzip in a standardized manner into other software products such as ArcGIS, LP 360, or Terrasolid. This will come with example code on how to use the DLL for reading and writing LAZ files and include a few compressed example files. I hereby ask ESRI to provide funding for this effort without imposing any limitations on the produced DLL API.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''July 2013: ArcGIS 10.2 includes [proprietary] LAS indexing '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: With the release of ArcGIS 10.2 in July 2013, ESRI introduced spatial indexing to speed up area-of-interest queries. The new proprietary *.lasx files with seemingly identical functionality to the open *.lax files that had been [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/j0qA8NBMHJs/discussion announced] in May 2011 and were [http://rapidlasso.com/2012/12/03/lasindex-spatial-indexing-of-lidar-data/ presented] at ELMF in November 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''July 2013: Open LASzip API released'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: After more requests for an easier interface to [http://laszip.org LASzip] (in particular for [http://forsys.cfr.washington.edu/fusion/fusionlatest.html USDA's FUSION]), Martin [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/oplsDhhnhDQ/discussion released] a clean, well-documented, and easy-to-use LASzip DLL (without ESRI funding). Martin expected that developers at ESRI would now use it to add read and write support for [http://laszip.org LAZ] to their next release of ArcGIS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''December 2013 : ESRI discovered to be secretly developing proprietary LAS format'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In December of 2013, several LAStools users contacted Martin with suspicions that ESRI may be creating a proprietary LAS compression. Martin [http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ broke the news] as soon as it became evident that ESRI had used the time it needed to resolve &amp;quot;legal issues&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;code problems&amp;quot; to put together their own proprietary compressed format with near-identical performance and functionality to [http://laszip.org LASzip]. A few days later ESRI released an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214/ official FAQ] to confirming this was the case. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: From day one, Martin has worked with stakeholders, including ESRI, to avoid format fragmentation. Martin's core argument for resolving this to everybody's benefit was that - coincidentally - a natural break was happening in the LAS format with the introduction of the new LAS 1.4 point types. Martin outlined a detailed plan for how a joint development of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for LAS 1.4 between rapidlasso and ESRI could exploit this natural break in the LAS format to accomplish two things at once:&lt;br /&gt;
:# Add the unspecified technical additions that ESRI had hinted at desiring, and &lt;br /&gt;
:# Extend the [http://laszip.org LASzip] compression scheme to handle the new point types introduced with the LAS 1.4 specification. As there was no pressing need at the time to handle LAS 1.4 Martin had delayed the extension of [http://laszip.org LASzip] to the new LAS 1.4 point types to make sure a cooperation with ESRI would remain a viable option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''1 April 2014: Positive reception to &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; / LASzip collaboration April Fools announcement'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In an attempt to convince ESRI management of the community desire for an open standard, Martin released an April Fools' Day [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ prank press release] pretending that ESRI had already agreed to the envisioned collaboration to develop a joint LiDAR compressor. Community [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ jubilant reactions (see comments)] left no doubt about the sentiment on this issue within the LiDAR community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''October 2014: Announcement of [open] LAS Compatibility mode'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/ Digital Coast, NOAA Coastal Services Center] became a Gold Sponsor of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for the development of the [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/10/06/rapidlasso-announces-laszip-compatibility-mode-for-las-1-4/ LAS 1.4 compatibility mode] that was [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/nUFMkKSz53g/discussion beta-released] in November 2014. This allowed support for the new point types in [http://laszip.org LASzip] without closing the door on a potential cooperation with ESRI for a joint LAS 1.4 compressor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''November 2014: ESRI announces proprietary extension to LAS 1.4'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In November 2014 [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated ESRI announced] that they had added their [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated own extension] for the new LAS 1.4 point types to &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;, dismissing the opportunity to develop a joint compressor and avoid format fragmentation by exploiting this &amp;quot;natural break&amp;quot; in the LAS format as Martin had suggested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Since then, ESRI has been [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/11/06/keeping-esri-honest/ promoting] &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;. By including the term &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;zLAS&amp;quot;, the distinction between the open LAS format and proprietary format is blurred. This is likely to mislead novice and future users, thereby endangering many years of standardization work. To date, [April 2014], the [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/committees/standards/LAS_1_4_r13.pdf custodians of the LAS format], the LAS Working Group (LWG) of the ASPRS has [http://rapidlasso.com/2015/02/22/lidar-las-asprs-esri-and-the-laz-clone/ yet to make an official statement] regarding use of the &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; name in promoting a proprietary LiDAR format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Value of Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The importance of Open Standards is described in most government IT policies. For instance, the United Kingdom policy states:&lt;br /&gt;
: … Government assets should be interoperable and open for re-use in order to maximise return on investment, avoid technological or supplier lock-in, reduce operational risk in ICT projects and provide responsive services for citizens and business. This should also lower barriers to entry for more diverse sources of IT services, including citizens and SMEs. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;All about Open Source – An Introduction to Open Source Software for Government IT, Version 2.0, United Kingdom Cabinet Office https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/78959/All_About_Open_Source_v2_0.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of Open Standards has been described in numerous national studies on the effects of standards on economic growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ... the national studies demonstrate that standards have a positive influence on economic growth due to the resulting improved diffusion of knowledge. The contribution of standards to the growth rate in each country is equivalent to 0.9% in Germany, 0.8% in 0.3% in the UK and 0.2% in Canada. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prof. Dr. Knut Blind, Prof. Dr. Andre Jungmittag, Dr. Axel Mangelsdorf [http://www.din.de/sixcms_upload/media/2896/DIN_GNN_2011_engl_akt_neu.pdf &amp;quot;The Economic Benefits of Standardization&amp;quot;], ''DINN, 2000''.

== Purpose ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous &lt;br /&gt;
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012), &lt;br /&gt;
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011), &lt;br /&gt;
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and &lt;br /&gt;
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting &lt;br /&gt;
members of the &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, &lt;br /&gt;
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, &lt;br /&gt;
but we hope that &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; members will give this event special consideration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Venue ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The City of Vienna MA 14 gladly provides the location for the Vienna Code Sprint for up to 60 sprinters in  [http://www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan/grafik.aspx?lang=de-AT&amp;amp;bookmark=zHClRv95TUbsTHFEFcAeRO5RphlRnHnkur2pH4Oprw-b-b&amp;amp;bmadr=25723751 their very new office called STAR 22].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Individual Preparation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Bring your own computer&lt;br /&gt;
* Install git, subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FAQ ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?&lt;br /&gt;
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.&lt;br /&gt;
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?&lt;br /&gt;
** While this is not a presentation-oriented event like FOSS4G, there will be the possibility to have presentations. There are plans to get a dedicated room with beamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas&lt;br /&gt;
* Skiing: The idea is to find a not too far away place the weekend after the sprint. Please add your name if you're interested: [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn't it a bit late for skiing at this time of the year in eastern Austria?&lt;br /&gt;
Yes that's probably right but there should be snow left within 2-3 hours drive. Anyway, given the 'high' interest I didn't assign high priority to this ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Budget ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;

== Individual Preparation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Bring your own computer&lt;br /&gt;
* Install git, subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FAQ ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?&lt;br /&gt;
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.&lt;br /&gt;
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?&lt;br /&gt;
** 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas&lt;br /&gt;
* Skiing: The idea is to find a not too far away place the weekend after the sprint. Please add your name if you're interested: [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn't it a bit late for skiing at this time of the year in eastern Austria?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Budget ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous &lt;br /&gt;
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012), &lt;br /&gt;

[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and &lt;br /&gt;
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting &lt;br /&gt;
members of the &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, &lt;br /&gt;
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, &lt;br /&gt;
but we hope that &amp;quot;C Tribe&amp;quot; members will give this event special consideration.&lt;br /&gt;

== Einführung ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bitte tragen Sie sich in die [[Deutsch#Mitgliederliste | Mitgliederliste]] ein, wenn Sie Interesse an einem deutschsprachigen [[Local Chapters]] haben. Der Eintrag ist freiwillig, dieses Wiki und alle enthaltenen Informationen sind öffentlich sichtbar. Die Kommunikation erfolgt über die [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/viscom-discuss-de Mailing-Liste discuss-de] ([http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/viscom-discuss-de/ Archiv]) oder dieses Wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
Eingeladen an dem deutschsprachigen Local Chapter mitzuwirken sind ausdrücklich alle Interessierten, völlig unabhängig davon ob Anwender oder Entwickler, völlig unabhängig davon ob erfahren im Umgang mit OS-GIS-Software oder &amp;quot;Neuling&amp;quot;. Die OSGeo lebt von der Beteiligung jedes Einzelnen, jeder Beitrag ist willkommen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Unser Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
Wir brauchen einen offiziellen Namen für die deutschsprachige Gruppe der OSGe, Vorschläge:&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo DACH &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Der Begriff der &amp;quot;Foundation&amp;quot; lässt sich ebenfalls nicht gut [http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&amp;amp;lang=de&amp;amp;searchLoc=0&amp;amp;cmpType=relaxed&amp;amp;sectHdr=on&amp;amp;spellToler=on&amp;amp;search=Foundation&amp;amp;relink=on direkt übersetzen], in vielen Dokumenten ist deshalb von der &amp;quot;OSGeo Foundation&amp;quot; zu lesen, was allerdings gegen die Vorgaben zur Nutzung des OSGeo Logo und Markennamen geht.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rechtsform, Konto ==&lt;br /&gt;
Die OSGeo Foundation ist als non-profit Firma in Delaware, USA gegründet worden. Dort gibt es auch ein Konto und wird das Budget verwaltet. Für formale Arbeiten und als zentrale Anlaufstelle für Fragen rund um die OSGeo wurde Tyler Mitchell als Executive Director angestellt, seine Stelle wird auch aus diesem Budget finanziert. Unabhängig davon werden wir nationale Konten benötigen, da die Transferkosten und der Aufwand, Geld über internationale Grenzen zu transportieren, nach wie vor unsinnig ist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Deutschland gibt es bereits ein Netzwerk und Organisation für die Förderung Freier Software. Die GAV e.V. (GRASS Anwender-Vereinigung) ist eine formale Organisation der Rechtsform &amp;quot;eingetragener Verein&amp;quot;, die bereits seit 1999 die gleichen Ziele verfolgt wie die OSGeo. Der GAV und OSGeo sind im Gespräch, wie eine Kooperation gestaltet werden kann. Eine erste, pragmatische Kooperation betrifft die Überschüsse der letzten FOSSGIS-Konferenzen, die das Organisationsteam zweckgebunden an den GAV e.V. gespendet hat. Bei Konferenzen und zu Marketing-Zwecken der OSGeo auf Messen im deutschsprachigen Raum konnte dieser Überschuß bereits sinnvoll genutzt werden, z.B. um den Druck von Informationsmaterial zu finanzieren.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Ziele ==&lt;br /&gt;
Die Ziele der deutschsprachigen OSGeo Arbeitsgruppe entwickeln sich durch die Beiträge der Mitglieder. Eine erste Orientierung geben die [[Local Chapter Guidelines | Richtlinien für lokale Gruppen]], einzelne Schwerpunkte werden sich im Laufe der Arbeit herauskristallisieren. &lt;br /&gt;
* Bereitstellung eines Netzwerkes für die Mitglieder, ggf. mit Job-Börse.&lt;br /&gt;
* Organisation der jährlichen deutschsprachigen Konferenz (siehe [[FOSSGIS 2006]])&lt;br /&gt;
* Kontaktstelle für neue Mitglieder und Sponsoren &lt;br /&gt;
* Führung eines Regionalbüros mit Konto, Telefon, Ansprechpartner&lt;br /&gt;
* Übersetzung von Dokumenten, Inhalten, Webseiten und Lokalisierung von Software (Anpassung an örtliche Besonderheiten)&lt;br /&gt;
* Lösungen im deutschsprachigen Raum bewerben&lt;br /&gt;
* Erstellung von regionalisierten Software-Paketen &lt;br /&gt;
* Training, Support und Entwicklung von e-Learning Inhalten in deutscher Sprache&lt;br /&gt;
* Förderung von offenen Standards und freien Zugang zu räumlichen Daten im deutschsprachigen Umfeld.&lt;br /&gt;
* Förderung der OSGeo Foundation durch Präsentationen, Informationsveranstaltungen, Messestände, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Komitees ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An dieser Stelle folgen nach und nach die Komitees der deutschsprachigen OSGeo Gemeinschaft. Fühlen Sie sich frei selber ein Komitee zu gründen oder sich einem bestehenden anzuschließen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Kommunikation ==&lt;br /&gt;
Die Kommunikaiton läuft über dieses Wiki, Mailing Listen, Webseite und natürlich das persönliche Gespräch auf Messen, Konferenzen und Anwendertreffen. Das neue OSGeo Portal bietet eine einfache Möglichkeit zur Übersetzung ins Deutsche. Falls Sie bei der Übersetzung gerne helfen möchten wenden Sie sich bitte an die Translation Group des [[WebCom | Website Committee]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Steuerung ==&lt;br /&gt;
Die deutschprachige Gruppe der OSGeo ist noch informell. Beteiligen Sie sich an der Gestaltung, indem Sie sich einbringen. Entscheidungen werden wie bei Open Source  üblich per Email an die Mailing Liste geschickt und diskutiert. Beschlussfähige Vorschläge werden von einem Mitglied vorgeschlagen und von einem zweiten Mitglied unterstützt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wahl ===&lt;br /&gt;
Die Wahl erfolgt über Ablehung, Zustimmung oder Gleichgültigkeit:&lt;br /&gt;
 -1 = Veto, Ablehung&lt;br /&gt;
 -0 = nicht einverstanden, beugt sich aber der Mehrheit &lt;br /&gt;
  0 = trägt die Entscheidung der anderen mit, kann aber nicht beurteilen, ob sie gut ist (zu wenig Information, keine Zeit sich zu informieren, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
 +0 = unterstützt den Antrag passiv, kann aber nicht aktiv zum Thema beisteuern&lt;br /&gt;
 +1 = Zustimmung, unterstützt den Antrag voll und arbeitet auch mit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Veto ===&lt;br /&gt;
Wer mit -1 wählt legt ein Veto ein. Damit das Veto angenommen werden kann muss es innerhalb der Wahlfrist begründet und am besten gleich mit einem Alternativvorschlag eingebracht werden. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Unterstützung ===&lt;br /&gt;
Wer mit +1 wählt muss auch bereit sein aktiv mit der Lösung mitzumachen. Sonst gibt es zu viele faule Beobachter und zu wenige Arbeiter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Veto überstimmen ===&lt;br /&gt;
Ein Veto kann überstimmt werden&lt;br /&gt;
* durch eine absolute Mehrheit der Mitglieder&lt;br /&gt;
* oder wenn mindestens vier Mitglieder mit einer +1 wählen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alle Ergebnis können immer angefochten werden (bis uns was besseres einfällt).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Offizieller Status und Dokumente ==&lt;br /&gt;
Die OSGeo Foundation ist eine rechtliche Organisation die aus mittlerweile 59 Mitgliedern und 9 Direktoren besteht. Alle offiziellen Projekte und Dokumente müssen von dem Direktorium abgenommen werden bevor sie offiziellen Status erreichen. Offizielle Dokumente werden in den statischen Dokumenten-Ordner auf osgeo.org hinterlegt und werden dadurch &amp;quot;Official Policy&amp;quot; der OSGeo Foundation. Sobald die Mitgliederliste 10 bis 15 Einträge hat, die sich aktiv einbringen wollen, können wir einen Antrag auf einen eigenen Projektbereich mit Dokumentenordner, SVN, Webseite, etc. und offiziellem Status beantragen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Die Sammlung deutschsprachiger Dokumente ist der Migration zum Opfer gefallen, wird aber nach und nach wieder aufgebaut. Falls Sie selbst Dokumente beisteuern können wenden Sie dich bitte an das [[Promotion and Visibility Committee]].&lt;br /&gt;
