Google Summer of Code 2012 Ideas

[[Image:Gsoc-2012-logo-color.png|350px|link=http://code.google.com/soc/]] @ [[Image:OSGeo_300_127_pixel.png|link=http://www.osgeo.org]]

-----
* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2012]] wiki page.

* See also ideas from [[Google Summer of Code 2010 Ideas|2010]] and [[Google Summer of Code 2011 Ideas|2011]]
-----

=OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2012=

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders; show us what you've got.

'''If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentoring organisations via soc at lists.osgeo.org'''

* There is a [http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places and [http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/flyer/google_summer_of_code/ an OSGeo flavoured one as well] (TODO: update to 2012).

* Ok, [[OSGeo]] is involved in working with maps and things, but what kind of projects does it really do? Have a look at the [http://planet.osgeo.org/ live blog feed] to see what people are working on right now.

=What to expect during the summer?=

* A group of past GSoC students, mentors, and Googlers have prepared this short book just for you: [http://google-opensource.blogspot.co.nz/2011/02/flip-bits-not-burgers-student-guide.html Flip bits not Burgers: The Student's Guide to the Summer of Code] -- READ THIS eBOOK

==Be prepared to be in constant communication with your mentors and project==

You and your mentors will decide on the specifics, but we will expect you and your mentor to communicate *a lot*. Part of the idea of SoC is to intergrate you into the developer community, so you should get involved from the start. The more you communicate the easier it will be. Don't be afraid that the mentors will request your phone number. It is only to make sure that we can reach you, in case of problems.

==Weekly reports==
Yes, every week we expect to see a report posted to the soc@osgeo mailing list that at least answers the following questions:
# What did you get done this week?
# What do you plan on doing next week?
# Are you blocked on anything?
These questions BTW are the same as are used in real-work, when developing with the
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development) Scrum] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development development process]. ;)

If you want, feel free to write *more*. But three sentences is the bare minimum. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND YOUR PROGRESS REPORTS ON TIME*, if you don't send this email your mentors will start to get twitchy, and *especially* if they don't get any responses to their emails / don't see you in IRC. Twitchy mentors is not what we want. If you are blocked by finals, that's cool. We have all studied at some point, just tell us about it, be honest. If you don't know how to proceed and your mentor isn't answering *definitely* tell about it. The SoC project admins will always be available. Basically the point is that you open up the communication channels, and keep them open. That way you will have a super summer, and get paid ;)

Last year this weekly report proved to be very popular among the students and mentors alike, so we will keep it up.

==Wiki page and blogs==
In addition to weekly reports we ask you to maintain a wiki or blog page for your project. You should store your weekly reports there and add other information, like how to compile and test your program. If applicable add screenshots and other nice info.

Wiki and/or blog space can and will be provided by OSGeo if your project doesn't have anything already set up for this.

=Timeline=

* '''[http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/faqs#timeline The official timeline]'''


* March 16: Google announces accepted organizations. If OSGeo is accepted as an organization for Google Summer of Code, start talking to us earlier rather than later.
* '''March 26''': Student applications open. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted! There is two way feedback during the application process which really helps you improve and clarify your application before the final deadline. The better your involvement with your potential mentors during this period, the better your chances of being selected.
* '''April 6''': Student application deadline.
* April 23: Accepted student proposals are announced.
* '''May 21''': Coding begins! (you may unofficially start a week or two earlier if you know you'll have to take a week or two off during The Summer or you'll be sitting finals in the first week(s) of the program. ''This must be reflected in your application timeline'')
* July 13: Mid-term evaluation.
* '''August 13''': Pencils down!
* August 24: Final evaluation deadline
* August 27: Final results announced
* August 31: Students begin submitting required code samples to Google

= The ideas pages =

Each participating project's list of ideas is here, with a short description of the project and what type of students would be interested in it:



* [http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_SoC_Ideas GRASS SoC Ideas]: GRASS GIS is an open source GIS focusing mainly on analysis. It is written as a collection of stand-alone C programs and has a new GUI written in Python. If you know Python, or want to implement algorithms in C take a look!

* [http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2012 Quantum GIS SoC Ideas] Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats.





* [[OpenRouter 2012 SOC Ideas|OpenRouter/pgRouting 2012 SOC Ideas]]: OpenRouter/pgRouting is a couple of projects that are building routing and driving direction libraries and applications that can be integrated with other applications.









* [[MapServer 2012 SOC Ideas|MapServer GSoC Ideas]]: MapServer is a Web Mapping Engine; an Open Source platform for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web.



* [[GvSIG GSoC 2012 Ideas|gvSIG]] is the free GIS project developed by the gvSIG Association. gvSIG is at this time a group of software developments for [http://www.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/description2/view?set_language=en Desktop],[http://www.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-mobile/description-2/view?set_language=en PDAs] and [http://gvsigmini.org mobile phones]. The gvSIG project looks for students with Java skills that want to develop new ideas on any of gvSIG products.



* [http://opticks.org/confluence/display/opticksDev/Google+Summer+of+Code Opticks Ideas]: Opticks is an extensible [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_sensing remote sensing] and imagery analysis desktop application. It provides a framework to process remote sensing data such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspectral_imaging Hyperspectral] (HSI), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-spectral_image Multispectral] (MSI), and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_aperture_radar Synthetic aperture radar] (SAR) imagery and video. The application is written in C++ and licensed under LGPL v2.1. Extensions are written using C++ or Python. You can review the [http://opticks.org/confluence/display/opticksExt/All+Opticks+Extensions available extensions] and [http://opticks.org/confluence/display/opticks/Feature+Tour+-+Your+Data feature tour] to get a better idea of what Opticks can do.

== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

----

Great idea! I'd like to add a related get together. Anyone interested in starting the day with some tai chi and chi gong, let's meet in the Sheraton pool area (5th floor of the Tower building) at 6:00 am. If there's inclement weather, let's meet in the lobby of the Sheraton. If you are interested but are not staying at the Sheraton, let me know (retrev@csh.rit.edu or retrev on twitter) and we'll meet somewhere more convenient.

== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

----

Great idea! I'd like to add a related get together. Anyone interested in starting the day with some tai chi and chi gong, let's meet in the Sheraton pool area (5th floor of the Tower building) at 6:00 am. If there's inclement weather, let's meet in the lobby of the Sheraton. If you are interested but are not staying at the Sheraton, let me know (retrev@csh.rit.edu or retrev on twitter) and we'll meet somewhere more convenient.

== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

----

Great idea! I'd like to add a related get together. Anyone interested in starting the day with some tai chi and chi gong, let's meet in the Sheraton pool area (5th floor of the Tower building) at 6:00 am. If there's inclement weather, let's meet in the lobby of the Sheraton. If you are interested but are not staying at the Sheraton, let me know (retrev@csh.rit.edu or retrev on twitter) and we'll meet somewhere more convenient.

== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

== Free meditation and relaxing movements sessions ==

There are so many interesting people and ideas at FOSS4G that I’ve found it can be really helpful to have a quiet, meditative moment or two to let it all sink in. The intention is to help one release stress and relax muscles that commonly become tight from computer/desk work, travel, carrying bags.. the common issues that tend to manifest at a week-long conference! I’ve been leading meditation sessions for co-workers at MIT and receiving very positive feedback about how helpful they are.

My plan is to hold a few 30-minute, sessions of relaxed meditative breathing and gentle movements during the FOSS4G conference at the following times:

*Wed. 8 pm
*Thurs 5:30 pm
*Friday 5 pm - after the Annual General Meeting

These sessions are available to anyone, including people with no prior experience with any movement styles, those who do not feel particularly flexible, and folks who are in their work/meeting clothes. These sessions are being hosted by [[User:Lsweeney|Lisa Sweeney]] If you are interested please add your name below or email lsweenstar@gmail.com. I'll be seeking out room options and post them to this wiki page once identified.

----

Great idea! I'd like to add a related get together. Anyone interested in starting the day with some tai chi and chi gong, let's meet in the Sheraton pool area (5th floor of the Tower building) at 6:00 am. If there's inclement weather, let's meet in the lobby of the Sheraton. If you are interested but are not staying at the Sheraton, let me know (retrev@csh.rit.edu or retrev on twitter) and we'll meet somewhere more convenient.

FOSS4G 2011 Code Sprint

2011-07-21T18:39:30Z

Wiki-Pierre: /* PostGIS */

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

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 :)

== Venue ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Saturday September 17th, 2011''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2011&month=9&day=17&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 timeandate])

*'''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.

== Sponsor ==

Google Summer of Code 2011 Ideas

2011-03-22T18:15:37Z

Wiki-Pierre: /* The ideas pages */

[[Image:GSOC_2011_URL.png|400px|center]]

see also [[Google Summer of Code 2010 Ideas]]

* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2011]] wiki page.

=OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2011=

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders; show us what you've got.

'''If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentoring organisations via soc at lists.osgeo.org'''

* There is a [http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

=What to expect during the summer?=

==Be prepared to be in constant communication with your mentors and project==
You and your mentors will decide on the specifics, but we will expect you and your mentor to communicate *a lot*. Part of the idea of SoC is to intergrate you into the developer community, so you should get involved from the start. The more you communicate the easier it will be. Don't be afraid that the mentors will request your phone number. It is only to make sure that we can reach you, in case of problems.

==Weekly reports==
Yes, every week we expect to see a report posted to the soc@osgeo mailing list that at least answers the following questions:
# What did you get done this week?
# What do you plan on doing next week?
# Are you blocked on anything?
These questions BTW are the same as are used in real-work, when developing with the
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development) Scrum] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development development process]. ;)

If you want, feel free to write *more*. But three sentences is the bare minimum. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND YOUR PROGRESS REPORTS ON TIME*, if you don't send this email your mentors will start to get twitchy, and *especially* if they don't get any responses to their emails / don't see you in IRC. Twitchy mentors is not what we want. If you are blocked by finals, that's cool. We have all studied at some point, just tell us about it, be honest. If you don't know how to proceed and your mentor isn't answering *definitely* tell about it. The SoC project admins will always be available. Basically the point is that you open up the communication channels, and keep them open. That way you will have a super summer, and get paid ;)

Last year this weekly report proved to be very popular among the students and mentors alike, so we will keep it up.

==Wiki page and blogs==
In addition to weekly reports we ask you to maintain a wiki or blog page for your project. You should store your weekly reports there and add other information, like how to compile and test your program. If applicable add screenshots and other nice info.

Wiki and/or blog space can and will be provided by OSGeo if your project doesn't have anything already set up for this.

=Timeline=
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline

* March 18: Google announces accepted organizations. If OSGeo is accepted as an organization for Google Summer of Code, start talking to us earlier rather than later.
* April 8: Student application deadline. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted! There is two way feedback during the application process which really helps you improve and clarify your application before this final deadline.
* April 25: Accepted student proposals are announced.
* May 23: Coding begins!
* July 11: Mid-term evaluation.
* August 22: Pencils down!

== Theme ==

[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011]] : '''The Rendez-vous of the Tribes'''

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

== MapServer ==

* 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
* SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
* rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
* Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)

* INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
* Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
* layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
* use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
* profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

== PostGIS ==

* 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type even if it means putting off til 2.1)
* 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
* Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
* Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain
* Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
* 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
* shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)
while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808
got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

Also add more regression tests for shp2pgsql,pgsql2shp
* Incubation issues -- not fun stuff but needs to be addressed, get list of all contributors, decide if each file will have blanket copyright with reference to contributor file, what to do with files that have no copyright markings

== PostGIS raster ==

*Ticket fixes Pierre: (792 & 762), 825, 633, 766, 651, 490,
*Ticket fixes David: 582
*Ticket fixes Jorge: 851, 837
*Look at ticket 650 (GDAL Polygonize with real values) with Frank (Pierre)
*ST_SetRotation & ST_Rotation (ticket 482) (David)
*rt_raster_deserialize for header only in order to make get functions faster
*pl/pgSQL script fixes (tickets 643, 644, 645) (Pierre)
*ST_MapAlgebra optimization & neighbourhood (David)
*ST_Intersection optimization (David)
*Optional tickets 165, 301, 484

== GDAL/OGR ==

* SWIG/Ruby bindings? (JimK)
* Merge the two MrSID Drivers (Raster and Lidar) into one

== libLAS ==

* Discussions
** hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
** mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
** mpg to give a small code walkthrough via projector
** Try to get FrankW to discuss features/failures/successes of both GDAL and OGR's driver models
** Investigate and discuss using boost-style traits for class description
** Investigate Point Cloud Library's (PCL) template-driven point classes and their applicability and/or adaptability for libPC.

* Technical support / Infrastructure
** Get hg access for all sprint participants
** Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
** hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
** Add CMake detection for MG4
** test harness for the command line apps

* Development
** Crib up the text, MG4, and BAG drivers
** Add MG4/L support to libPC
** Plan for adding octree libpc::Stage
** finish the native LAS driver
** flesh out the dump routines for each major class
** light up pcinfo

== TinyOWS ==

* MapFile parser, to allow a single configuration file for both MapServer and TinyOWS.

== ZOO Project ==

* ...

== GeoPrisma / OpenLayers / GeoExt ==

* GeoExt ux - LayerTreeBuilder: add support for multiple layers when calling a WMS service.
* GeoExt ux - LayerTreeBuilder: make the display of a Legend widget configurable on a per-layer basis?? (instead of on per-layer type basis).
* GeoExt ux - AttributeFilterPanel: add flexibility in how the Vector features are retrieved (i.e. using a Vector layer object to query an existing layer or using a Protocol object and creating a new Vector layer on the fly). This widget has a lot of overlap with GeoExt's FormPanel (in fact it was derived from it), we should try to merge the functionality of both widgets in a single one.
* GeoPrisma - AttributeFilterPanel widget: #175 - write a sample (we may need a PostgreSQL server on the geoprisma.org machine), documentation and merge the branch to the trunk.
* GeoPrisma: #168 - switch to ExtJS-style i18n for client widgets (maybe do 1 or 2 widgets as a proof-of-concept)
* GeoPrisma: #149 - deprecate the PDFPrint widget ?
* GeoPrisma: #164 - Add Vector layer type support for MapFishPrint service.
* GeoPrisma: make projection configurable for measuretool widget, just like what was done with getmouseposition (using proj4js)
* GeoPrisma: add a new WFS proxy ?

== OpenLayers ==

* ...

Montreal Code Sprint 2011

2011-02-10T15:37:46Z

Wiki-Pierre: /* Participation */

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done in previous years at the [[New York Code Sprint 2010]] and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]]).

We have started a [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

== Timing ==

Dates: Tuesday-Friday, March 15-18, from approximately 9am-4pm

== Venue ==

Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)
[http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1002+sherbrooke+west+montreal+qc&sll=45.502703,-73.575719&sspn=0.00943,0.014977&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1002+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Qu%C3%A9bec+H3A+1Y1&z=16 1002, Sherbrooke West, suite 2400, Montreal QC]

* 2 large adjacent conference rooms located on 24th floor of a tower with great view of the city ([[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 - Possible Venues#pictures-cmm |see pictures]])
* Possibility to remove the wall between the two rooms to make a single larger room
* RJ-45 and power plugs in the floor
* Larger room: 14 tables for two = 28 person capacity
* Smaller room: 6 tables for two = 12 person capacity
* Possibility to rearrange the tables to fit our needs (e.g. make tables/teams of 6-8 people for instance)
* Projector in each room
* White boards on the wall between the two rooms (become unavailable if we remove the wall)

== Sponsors ==

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

To sponsor, please contact Daniel Morissette (dmorissette at mapgears dot com) directly.

[[Category:FOSS4G2010]] [[Category:FOSS4G]] [[Category:Code Sprints]]
== 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 ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Friday, 10 Sep 2010''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&month=9&day=10&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=31 timeandate])

More than 100 attendees are expected!

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

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:

FOSS4G 2010 Code Sprint

2010-08-27T15:15:36Z

[[Category:FOSS4G2010]] [[Category:FOSS4G]] [[Category:Code Sprints]]
== 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 ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Friday, 10 Sep 2010''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&month=9&day=10&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=31 timeandate])

More than 100 attendees are expected!

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

'''Please describe your Project.'''

A spatial data extender for the PostgreSQL open source RDBMS. Adds geometry types, indexes and hundreds of functions, allowing for storage, editing and analysis of geospatial data via SQL.

'''Why is hosting at OSGeo good for your project?'''

A consistent hosting platform, and affiliation with other members of the OSGeo community will be good from a technical development point-of-view and a community-building point-of-view.

'''Type of application does this project represent(client, server, standalone, library, etc.):'''

Server.

'''Please describe any relationships to other open source projects.'''

PostGIS is used extensively by other open source projects. Mapserver, Geoserver, gvSIG, QGIS, GRASS, GeoDjango, deeGree, and many others. PostGIS depends on the OSGeo library projects: GEOS and Proj4.

'''Please describe any relationships with commercial companies or products.'''

PostGIS is supported by numerous proprietary products, Safe Software's FME, Cadcorp SIS, Manifold, and ESRI's ArcSDE, to name a few.

'''Which open source license(s) will the source code be released under?'''

PostGIS has been and will continue to be released under the GPLv2.

'''Is there already a beta or official release?'''

Yes, PostGIS 1.4.0 was recently released. PostGIS has been released regularly since 2001.

'''What is the origin of your project (commercial, experimental, thesis or other higher education, government, or some other source)?'''

PostGIS was built originally and substantially maintained for most of its life (2001-present) by Refractions Research, but always released and developed as an open source project. Only in the last two years has the majority of maintenance effort moved outside the company.

'''Does the project support open standards? Which ones and to what extent? (OGC, w3c, ect.) Has the software been certified to any standard (CITE for example)? If not, is it the intention of the project owners to seek certification at some point?'''

PostGIS is certified as SFSQL compliant by the OGC at version 1.3. (And has maintained compliance at 1.4, though it is not certified at this time.) PostGIS is now using the ISO SQL/MM draft as a guide for future standards compliance. PostGIS also supports standard serializations, such as GML, KML, SVG, WKB, WKT and GeoJSON.

'''Is the code free of patents, trademarks, and do you control the copyright?'''

The code is free of patents and trademarks. Copyright is distributed amongst the various contributors.

'''How many people actively contribute (code, documentation, other?) to the project at this time?'''

Approximately a half-dozen.

'''How many people have commit access to the source code respository?'''

22

'''Approximately how many users are currently using this project?'''

Thousands. Over six months there were: 20K source downloads; 34K windows downloads; 106K web site visits; 68K unique visitors. There are 1770 subscribers to postgis-users and 267 subscribers to postgis-devel.

'''What type of users does your project attract (government, commercial, hobby, academic research, etc. )?'''

All.

'''If you do not intend to host any portion of this project using the OSGeo infrastructure, why should you be considered a member project of the OSGeo Foundation?'''

We intend to host everything except the web site and the build system with osgeo.org in the near future.

'''Does the project include an automated build and test?'''

Yes, but that has been and will continue to be hosted at Refractions in the near term.

'''What language(s) are used in this project? (C/Java/perl/etc)'''

C / SQL / Java

'''What is the dominant written language (i.e. English, French, Spanish, German, etc) of the core developers?'''

English

'''What is the (estimated) size of a full release of this project? How many users do you expect to download the project when it is released?'''

Source tar file is about 5MB in size. Windows downloads are handled via the PgSQL infrastructure. About 3K source downloads a month on average, perhaps 5-10K source downloads a month during a release.

Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda

2009-03-06T14:26:34Z

Wiki-Pierre: /* PostGIS WKT Raster */

== Theme ==

[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]] : '''The Need for Speed...'''

Performance is the universal feature, and the latest [http://blog.geoserver.org/2008/10/22/geoserver-benchmarks-at-foss4g-2008 Geoserver vs Mapserver] results indicate that there are places throughout the C stack that can use improvement.

== Proj4 ==

* Run Mapserver under load and review where Proj4 takes a hit (everywhere)
* Caching of PJ structs, Should make QGIS and Mapserver faster.
* Possibility of a new/simple API + optimized database sitting on top of PROJ4 to replace current init files and address some performance issues as well as allowing lookup of additional information such as axis order of a given SRS (required for WMS 1.3.0 and other OGC specs)
* bring epsgaxis axis flipping behavior into proj4 proper

== Mapserver ==

* Run the Geoserver benchmark tests under profiler and review results
* Single-pass querying, will bring WFS speed up to par
* Mapserver as Apache module, removes FastCGI instability and is potentially even faster, see [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2565 #2565]
* Roadmap for 6.0
* XML Mapfiles ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2872 #2872])
* coordinating and improving msautotest (what gets added, when, etc.)
* WMS 1.3.0 ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/473 #473])
* resolving msOWSDispatch ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2531 #2531])
* support for ITEM data types for WFS server ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/462 #462])
* Discuss issue of Hiding/enabling/ignoring layers in OGC Web Services (see [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/HidingLayersInOGCWebServices Trac wiki page])
* Discuss coordinate axis order for WFS 1.1.0 ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2899 #2899])
* OpenGL/Cairo/VtableRendering merge. Discuss some backwards compatibility changes implied by the rendering unification (notably on symbol orientation, and linestring markers)
* Choose one of Steve's logos
* Discuss better handling of resolution for printing maps

== GDAL ==

* Adding the ability to read z/x/y tiles (e.g. TMS, OSM, etc.) alongside the existing WMS reader support

== PostGIS ==

* Roadmap for 1.5+
* New on-disk format? Aligned double?
* New GEOS coordinate sequence to bind on top of aligned PostGIS structures?
* Profiling and review profile results

== PostGIS WKT Raster ==

*Discuss [http://postgis.refractions.net/support/wiki/index.php?WKTRasterHomePage WKT Raster] API, roadmap and funding
*Importer/exporter (raster2pgsql.exe, PGAdmin extension, new Paul's GUI, driver for GDAL, SQL importer function)
*Discuss WKT Raster and PostGIS web site, source integration and bug tracking.
*Discuss GiST index.
*Discuss Windows build.

== GEOS ==

* Administrivia, what to do without a full-time maintainer?
* Roadmap for 3.2?

Toronto Code Sprint 2009

2009-03-05T14:32:31Z

Wiki-Pierre:

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems, see the [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda]]. We have chosen a mid-North American location because this code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide) and many members of the "C Tribe" are clustered in the area. Toronto is also a major travel hub, for sprinters traveling from afar. Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Sponsors ==

We have received support from six sponsors, each providing a $500 sponsorship that will be put towards venue, internet and lunch costs.

Toronto Code Sprint 2009 Agenda

Wiki-Pierre: /* PostGIS WKT Raster */

== Theme ==

[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]] : '''The Need for Speed...'''

Performance is the universal feature, and the latest [http://blog.geoserver.org/2008/10/22/geoserver-benchmarks-at-foss4g-2008 Geoserver vs Mapserver] results indicate that there are places throughout the C stack that can use improvement.

== Proj4 ==

* Run Mapserver under load and review where Proj4 takes a hit (everywhere)
* Caching of PJ structs, Should make QGIS and Mapserver faster.
* Possibility of a new/simple API + optimized database sitting on top of PROJ4 to replace current init files and address some performance issues as well as allowing lookup of additional information such as axis order of a given SRS (required for WMS 1.3.0 and other OGC specs)

== Mapserver ==

* Run the Geoserver benchmark tests under profiler and review results
* Single-pass querying, will bring WFS speed up to par
* Mapserver as Apache module, removes FastCGI instability and is potentially even faster, see [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2565 #2565]
* Roadmap for 6.0
* XML Mapfiles ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2872 #2872])
* coordinating and improving msautotest (what gets added, when, etc.)
* WMS 1.3.0 ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/473 #473])
* resolving msOWSDispatch ([http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2531 #2531])

== GDAL ==

* ?

== PostGIS ==

* Roadmap for 1.5+
* New on-disk format? Aligned double?
* New GEOS coordinate sequence to bind on top of aligned PostGIS structures?
* Profiling and review profile results

== PostGIS WKT Raster ==

*Discuss [http://postgis.refractions.net/support/wiki/index.php?WKTRasterHomePage WKT Raster] API, roadmap and funding
*Importer/exporter (raster2pgsql.exe, PGAdmin extension, new Paul's GUI, driver for GDAL, SQL importer function)
*Discuss WKT Raster and PostGIS web site, source integration and bug tracking.
*Discuss GiST index.

== GEOS ==

* Administrivia, what to do without a full-time maintainer?
* Roadmap for 3.2?

== libLAS ==

* Supporting inline streaming compression
* Win64 builds
