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

[[Image:Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg|thumb|400px|Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg]] A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

*'''Rooms: (each room has a 60-70 person capacity)'''
**room 440/540 (bilevel)
**room 640

== What to Bring ==

*power bars (only outlets for 30 computers exist)

== How to get there from the Sheraton ==

The easiest way to get there from the Sheraton is to catch the free shuttle bus along 16th Street to Larimer, then it's about a half mile walk from there (7-10 minutes) - just take a left on Larimer and keep going straight into the campus. More detail to come shortly on how to get to the exact rooms etc.

Wiki-Panzel: Discussion topics for MapServerRenderer

== Code Sprint Participants ==

Phil Anzel: I'm interested in the MapServer renderer:
# Contour map and stream line labeling: I wonder if some control over inter-letter spacing (especially for increasing space between TrueType letters) might reduce letter overlap, beyond the use of the MAXOVERLAPANGLE parameter. Also I wonder if some local allowance for very erratic lines (with lots of short line segments) might relax label placement rules and provide for more label locations. Network willing, I can show some examples.
# Data source unavailability: can map image generation tolerate failure of individual DATA sources? Would it be possible to specify a retry mechanism? I'm thinking of data coming from either remote WFS, WMS (where there already exists a timeout specifier), or from ODBC sources. For example, if I'm somehow retrieving individual Bing tiles, and Bing is sluggish (I do not know if it is Bing or my environment), could I skip unavailable tiles? I've got more details on this specific use, and am certainly up for counsel.
# Robustness of SWIG wrapper for Map object: if instantiating and using the Map object in the DotNet environment (in C#), when the Map object instance is destroyed, is all native Map object memory freed? I'm doing this from memory at the moment, I have a specific code example that I'd like to talk about.
