= Introduction =
During the [http://2010.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2010 conference] in Barcelona, Spain, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Breakout Sessions sessions will be held on Wednesday 8th September ('''and possibly at other times as well - depending on interest'''). A number of rooms will be available. Most popular sessions will get bigger rooms.

'''Room allocation to be determined'''

==Organising Contact==
* [[Tyler Mitchell]]
* [[Mauricio Miranda]]
* Other volunteers welcome - sign up here!

==Timeslots Available==

At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 18:00 to 19:00.

Remember the Gala Dinner is scheduled at 20:00.

=Room Assignments=
== Rooms Available ==

We will need to share the biggest rooms because we have more sessions than rooms.

Add your name to the "Moderator" column if you feel as a session's leader.

Please, contact us to ask for changes.

== Organizing Contacts ==

*Wladimir Szczerban, Enric Rodellas

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

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

== Venue ==

==About The Program==
===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?===
'''Plan A:'''

In order to minimize the likelyhood of disappearing students we will ensure that the OSGeo administrative contact and the mentor have full contact information (email, home phone, etc) so that we can keep in touch with them.

In addition, we will make our reporting requirements clear up front. Letting the students know that we will require weekly progress reports, participation on public IRC channels and mailing lists will all help ensure ongoing commitment to the work.

'''Plan B:'''

Leveraging Open Source software from the OSGeo stack, coupled with high-accuracy data sources, volunteers from the open source community will process the data, including student metadata, and the results will be used for the targeting instructions for high-powered space-based lasers. Results of this will be displayed on a large video wall, which will prove that the student really has disappeared, and should act as a deterrent to future student disappearances.

([http://ossim.telascience.org/ossimdata/nhv/DSCF0129.JPG resized from] )

===What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?===
Project steering committees will appoint replacement mentors if existing mentors become unavailable or unresponsive during the project period.

===What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project has asked for weekly attendence at IRC meetings or status email.

Further more the mentors are encouraged to actively involve the students in the community, but having the student interact with the mentor throught the community channels rather then directly.

Other possibilities include:
# Having potential students work with their potential mentor to prepare a brief plan for the implementation of their project.
# Setting milestones that need to be reached by the student. These milestones would be defined before the student's work begins. A student would subsequently write a brief e-mail informing the appropriate OSGeo or project-specific mailing list when they have reached a milestone, giving a brief description of the work completed to that date.
# Selecting students that have shown interest previously in the geospatial field.

===What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?===
The steps taken depend on the individual projects, as example last year GeoTools project asked that students act as a "module maintainer" for their work. This role has an expected level of support associated with it.

Apart from that, we are relying on the open development process and the appreciation that students will receive for implementing these needed features to provide positive feedback for the students. The projects will be encouraging the students to take ownership of their work, and to contribute in other areas they may be interested in. In some cases students may also have opportunities for future contract work if they make a good impression on community members.

FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint

Wiki-Pgiraud: /* Attending */

Back to [[FOSS4G2007]]...

== Organizing Contacts ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

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

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

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

On the Friday after the conference, a [http://www.foss4g2007.org/code_sprint/ big room] with internet connectivity, lots of tables and flip charts will be arranged. Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

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 below for your project.

== GeoTools ==

=== Attending ===

* Andrea Aime
* [[User:Jdeolive | Justin Deoliveira]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* [[User:Chorner | Cory Horner]]

=== Goals ===

We are going to to do a cross project code sprint (with GeoServer and uDig developers) focused on changing the internals over to the new Feature model. If we run across any old Filter code we will take care of it as well. The "old" Feature interface will still be available for client code to use - this sprint is just focused on updating (and testing the heck out of) our internals.

=== Preparation ===

We need *good* code examples of how to do the following before we start: Use SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder, use SimpleFeatureBuilder. It may also help to have a big old class diagram of the Feature model.

We expect each developer to have a working build of trunk, have read the interfaces for SimpleFeature and the above code examples.

=== Out of Scope ===

There are lots of things that are going to have to follow out of scope for this sprint. I am going to bring attention to the following explicitly. *Performance* (the implementation of SimpleFeature available here is for the transition period only - optimize on your own time after we have updated the codebase to handle it). *Javadocs* - much of the javadocs will be out of date by the time we are done, type a sentence and move on.

During the code sprint you will be tempted - when you run into any good ideas on these topics simply fire an email off to the devel list and we will revisit it later.

== GRASS ==

=== Attending ===

=== Goals ===

* Hack session

== GDAL Bug Squash ==

Details at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BugSquash2007

== GeoNetwork / Metadata Madness ==

=== Goals ===

Building crawler/harvester/aggregator applications on top of the GeoNetwork metadata catalog network and similar interfaces. Plugging client stuff like gvSIG and uDig into it.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:JoWalsh|Jo Walsh]]
* [[User:Fxp|François Prunayre]]

== OpenLayers ==

=== Attending ===

* [[User:crschmidt|Christopher Schmidt]]
* [[User:aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:tschaub|Tim Schaub]]
* [[User:euzuro|Erik Uzureau]]
* [[User:ominiverdi|Lorenzo Becchi]]
* [[User:SchuylerErle|Schuyler Erle]]
* [[User:pagameba|Paul Spencer]]
* [[User:pgiraud|Pierre Giraud]]

=== Goals ===
Hack, hack, hack. I think this will be OpenLayers 2.6 or 2.7?

Some specific ideas:
* OL Context/WMC+ - read/write support for and OWS Context style doc
* SLD support - edit/read/write
* Renderer Optimizations
** consider attributing geometry components with a minResolution below which the renderer doesn't deal with them
** clipping - svg supports clipping, we need to consider clipping or another method of dealing with geometries that extend beyond the renderer bounds
** add <canvas> renderer
* integrate emanual's animated zooming stuff

== QGIS ==
=== Attending ===
* [[User:Gsherman|Gary Sherman]]
* [[User:Aaronr|Aaron Racicot]]
* [[User:hdus|Horst Düster]]
* [[User:spacedman|Barry Rowlingson]]

=== Goals ===
Here are some goals/wishes/ideas for the code sprint:

1. I would love to get some traction on expanding the "Tim Tutorials" into a more generic and robust framework for stand alone apps. Focusing on the Python bindings would be my preference. (Aaron Racicot)

2. Build an ''all-in-one'' data browser:
* Display a tree of all QGIS supported types, including PostGIS and WMS
* Support drag and drop from the browser to the QGIS map canvas
* Include file/layer management tools

3. I would prefer a discussion in which direction symbolisation should go. (Horst Düster)

== SWIG Bindings ==

SWIG bindings are increasingly used and could be used by many projects. GDAL uses them, and this sprint will focus in GDAL's (new generation) bindings but more general discussion, goal setting, and talk on integration is very much hoped for.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:ajolma|Ari Jolma]]
* [[User:szekerest|Tamas Szekeres]]

=== Goals ===

* present a short introduction to SWIG (AJ: I'll prepare this)
* develop a vision of how we integrate tools and create common look and feel high-level programming interfaces with SWIG bindings

Specifically for GDAL (from Tamas Szekeres' email):

* harmonize the typemap usage between the various bindings (and update the README.typemaps accordingly)
* determine which of the gdal/ogr features should be added to (or perhaps removed from) the SWIG interface.
* look over the possibilities to automate the creation of the code-comment-documentation for the various languages.
* construct the expected object model diagram to follow by the various languages (and publish the model itself)
* discuss the language specific issues and the expected treatments.

== Udig / JGrass ==

Cross project code sprint with the JGrass and uDig projects.

=== Attending ===

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]
* [[User:jeichar | Jesse Eichar]]
* [[User:silli | Silvia Franceschi]]
* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]

=== Goals ===
Currently these are proposals we are working on selecting a subset of these goals.

{| border="1"
|-
! Topic
! Description
|-
| Animation Framework
| If we could code up an example animation (say a point moving over a road network), then it becomes much easier for newcommers to work on fleshing this out. We could come up with a list of topics as the meeting draws nearer and decide on site as to which we wanted to tackle.
|-
| Debug uDig Trunk
| uDig trunk was moved to GeoTools trunk some time ago but the changes were major and many bugs still exist. Styling for example still doesn't work
|-
| Simple Feature
| GeoTools is doing a cross project code sprint and will need a uDig developer to update our trunk to SimpleFeature
|-
| Better GRASS compatibility
| better GRASS compatibility through JGrass
|-
| Wizard and DND
| Separate catalog wizards and Drag and Drop code to simplify both problems
|-
| Rendering
| Rendering has been in need of an overhaul for quite some time. Lets fix it
|-
| Remove Cruft
| Lets comb the code base and get rid of some of the ugly/unused
|-
| 3D visualization
| let's talk a bit about 3D, jogl, jirr and other nasty things and udig
|-
| Italian translation of uDig
| I know this is rather utopic, but you never know :)
|-
| Definition of a portable workspace
| UDig should have the possibility to export the workspace, either automagically or even by just moving a folder from one user to the other. It's about relative paths, about copying data eventually into the workspace and things like that. I believe this is a critical problem for usability. Should remember to isolate username/password information as well.
