<div>== Cascadia Local Chapter ==<br />
The Cascadia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia] chapter of the OSGeo is based on a regional FOSS GIS user group formed in 2007 called Cascadia Users of Geospatial Open Source (CUGOS)[http://www.cugos.org/]<br />
<br />
We are an active group of members who are passionate about Open Source software, GIS, and our region. We have members from all walks of life, a large spectrum of business and academia, and active OSGeo members (board members, charter members, and active project participants).<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Started in February 2007, CUGOS has quickly grown from a core of three founders to a mailing list of over 100 active members. Loosely based on the FRUGOS group [http://groups.google.com/group/frugos], we have held monthly meetings since inception and are active in local, regional and international FOSS GIS activities.<br />
In it's second year the group has started to branch out into other activities such as hosting code sprints and actively working toward hosting a regional FOSS4G mini-conference.<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
The OSGeo Cascadia Chapter strives to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The Chapter is focused on the Pacific Northwest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest] region of the United States as well as Southern British Columbia. The group hosts meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.<br />
<br />
== Continuing Goals ==<br />
* Hold monthly meetings (Third Wed of the month)<br />
* Advocate for the use of Open Source GIS at regional and state levels<br />
* Maintain an OSGeo presence at conferences<br />
* Host a regional FOSS4G mini-conference<br />
* Help act as a breeding ground for new projects<br />
<br />
== Near Term Goals ==<br />
[[Image:RoadFlaw_CodeSprint.jpg|thumb|right|Road Flaw Code Sprint]]<br />
* Facilitate learning through an ongoing project<br />
- RoadFlaw - http://roadflaw.activetools.org/ [http://roadflaw.activetools.org/]<br />
* Host a FOSS4G mini-conference in 2009<br />
- Initial Email Thread [http://groups.google.com/group/cugos/browse_thread/thread/815038cd910f8767]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
There are currently 100 people subscribed to the CUGOS mailing list [http://groups.google.com/group/cugos/about]. A typical meeting has around 15 participants and is consistently held at LizardTech [http://www.lizardtech.com/company/contact.php] in downtown Seattle [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1008+Western+Ave+Seattle,+WA+98104&spn=0.027654,0.040117&hl=en] on the third Wednesday of the month.<br />

= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 2:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''':<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. NOTE: Still trying to get some USB sticks and DVD's burned to be able to use the OSGeo live DVD image to play with. The intention is to have folks bring their linux laptop or have new folks use a live dvd and go over some command line foo in a small group for the 1.75 hours.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 4:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Option #1''':<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
'''Option #2''':<br> <br />
Maybe make an educational web map based on the Tissot circles. Maybe we can use the following old school blog post as inspiration to build a WMS that can be switched to any projection... or maybe play with drawing them as vectors in browser?<br />
<br />
[http://blog.perrygeo.net/2005/12/11/tissot-indicatrix-examining-the-distortion-of-2d-maps/ Tissot Circle Blog Post]<br />
<br />
'''Option #3''':<br> <br />
Hack on the CUGOS website, which is now hosted on gitpages:<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/cugos/cugos.github.com CUOGS GitHub website repo]<br />
<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />

<br />
One person noted that "my personal experience is that one can find street parking north of 50th, west of I-5, and down by University Village shopping center, if one is willing to walk 30 to 45 minutes () . But many of those areas were also being converted to resident restricted zones. Bus is really easy." <br> <br />

<br />
<br> <br />
The basic idea of this event (as determined by brainstorming ideas on IRC #cugos on irc://freenode and at the CUGOS April 2012 meeting) looks something like:<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning sessions (short talks followed by even shorter talks... 'lightning' style)<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-2:45: afternoon workshops<br>'''<br />
* '''15 minute break/networking''' <br />
*'''3-4:45: afternoon hack session<br>''' <br />
* '''15 minute wrap-up/networking'''<br />
* '''BEER!'''<br />
<br />
<br> Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> '''All skill and interest levels are welcome!''' -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />

<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 2:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''':<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. NOTE: Still trying to get some USB sticks and DVD's burned to be able to use the OSGeo live DVD image to play with. The intention is to have folks bring their linux laptop or have new folks use a live dvd and go over some command line foo in a small group for the 1.75 hours.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 4:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Option #1''':<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
'''Option #2''':<br> <br />
Maybe make an educational web map based on the Tissot circles. Maybe we can use the following old school blog post as inspiration to build a WMS that can be switched to any projection... or maybe play with drawing them as vectors in browser?<br />

<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />
<br />

On Wednesday May 16, 2012, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We are open to sponsors donating money for free food and drink.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
'''EVENTBRITE PAGE'''<br><br />
Please register here for this free event: ''' http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3254583547'''<br />
so we can plan for attendance and food ;)<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
The basic idea of this event is...well, it'll be determined in the next month by brainstorming ideas on IRC #cugos on irc://freenode and at the CUGOS April 2012 meeting<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning sessions (short talks followed by even shorter talk... 'lightning' style)<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-2:45: afternoon workshops<br>'''<br />
* '''15 minute break/networking''' <br />
*'''3-4:45: afternoon hack session<br>''' <br />
* '''15 minute wrap-up/networking'''<br />
<br />
<br> Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> '''All skill and interest levels are welcome!''' -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Anderson Hall (Forest Club room 207)<br> <br />
<br />
= Morning Session: Workshops/Talks (9am to 12pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Intro''' (5-10 minutes) - Aaron<br />
<br />
'''Kick off talk''' (30 minutes) - "Demystifying the Open Source Geo Software Stack" - Craig Miller<br />
<br />
'''Short Talks''' (15-20 min):<br />
<br />
* Mobile Development with HTML5 and Open Source at Pierce County WA, Jared Erickson<br />
* FOSS pipeline to produce meter-scale DEM and velocity products from commercial satellite imagery: First results for Antarctic/Greenland Ice Sheets, David Shean<br />
* The GINA project - Will from Alaska<br />
* ''Why choose? Use both closed and open source GIS (if you can afford it)'' '''OR''' ''R, PostGIS, and Sweave: reproducible research'' - Phil Hurvitz<br />
<br />
'''Lightning Talks''' (5-10 min):<br />
* Intro to TileMill - Dane Springmeyer<br />
* GIT basics - Intro to Git, GitHub, GitPages, and Giting your Git on - Aaron Racicot<br />
* Spatial in QT (short version!) - Craig Miller<br />
* Rendering OSM on AWS via Mapserver - mapserver-utils and mapcache - Greg Corradini<br />
<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 2:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''':<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 4:45pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Option #1''':<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />

On Wednesday May 16, 2012, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We are open to sponsors donating money for free food and drink.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
'''EVENTBRITE PAGE'''<br><br />
Please register here for this free event: ''' http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3254583547'''<br />
so we can plan for attendance and food ;)<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
The basic idea of this event is...well, it'll be determined in the next month by brainstorming ideas on IRC #cugos on irc://freenode and at the CUGOS April 2012 meeting<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning sessions (short talks followed by even shorter talk... 'lightning' style)<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-2:45: afternoon workshops<br>'''<br />
* 15 minute break/networking <br />
*'''3-4:45: afternoon hack session<br>''' <br />
* 15 minute wrap-up/networking <br />
<br />
<br />
<br> Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> All skill and interest levels are welcome! -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Anderson Hall (Forest Club room 207)<br> <br />
<br />
= Morning Session: Workshops/Talks (9am to 12pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Intro''' (5-10 minutes) - Aaron<br />
<br />
'''Kick off talk''' (30 minutes) - "Demystifying the Open Source Geo Software Stack" - Craig Miller<br />
<br />
'''Short Talks''' (15-20 min):<br />
<br />
* Mobile Development with HTML5 and Open Source at Pierce County WA, Jared Erickson<br />
* FOSS pipeline to produce meter-scale DEM and velocity products from commercial satellite imagery: First results for Antarctic/Greenland Ice Sheets, David Shean<br />
* The GINA project - Will from Alaska<br />
* ''Why choose? Use both closed and open source GIS (if you can afford it)'' '''OR''' ''R, PostGIS, and Sweave: reproducible research'' - Phil Hurvitz<br />
<br />
'''Lightning Talks''' (5-10 min):<br />
* Intro to TileMill - Dane Springmeyer<br />
* GIT basics - Intro to Git, GitHub, GitPages, and Giting your Git on - Aaron Racicot<br />
* Spatial in QT (short version!) - Craig Miller<br />
* Rendering OSM on AWS via Mapserver - mapserver-utils and mapcache - Greg Corradini<br />
<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 3pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''':<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 5pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Option #1''':<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />
<br />

One person noted that "my personal experience is that one can find street parking north of 50th, west of I-5, and down by University Village shopping center, if one is willing to walk 30 to 45 minutes () . But many of those areas were also being converted to resident restricted zones. Bus is really easy." <br> <br />

Another noted that "There are a ton of routes which stops near Anderson hall (Forest Club Room): [http://bit.ly/eKKmHE bit.ly/eKKmHE] (OneBusAway pointing to nearest bus stops north of Anderson) <br />

<br />
'''Short Talks''' (15-20 min):<br />
<br />
* Mobile Development with HTML5 and Open Source at Pierce County WA, Jared Erickson<br />
* FOSS pipeline to produce meter-scale DEM and velocity products from commercial satellite imagery: First results for Antarctic/Greenland Ice Sheets, David Shean<br />
* Rendering OSM via Mapserver - mapserver-utils and mapcache - Greg Corradini<br />
* The GINA project - Will from Alaska<br />
<br />

* Intro to TileMill - Dane Springmeyer<br />
* GIT basics - Intro to Git, GitHub, GitPages, and Giting your Git on - Aaron Racicot<br />
* Spatial in QT (short version!) - Craig Miller<br />
<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 3pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''':<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 5pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Option #1''':<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />

One person noted that "my personal experience is that one can find street parking north of 50th, west of I-5, and down by University Village shopping center, if one is willing to walk 30 to 45 minutes () . But many of those areas were also being converted to resident restricted zones. Bus is really easy." <br> <br />

* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 5pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
Option #1:<br> <br />
Split up into 2 groups... a server group and a client group. Have a functional demo in 2 hours, code in GitHub.<br> <br />
Server Group: Set up a simple WMS service via mapserver and postgis to serve King County data<br> <br />
Client Group: Make a simple web map using Google and OSM as base layers, adding in WMS from server group.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />

<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />

Intro (5-10 minutes) - Aaron<br />
<br />
Kick off talk (30 minutes) - "Demystifying the Open Source Geo Software Stack" - Craig Miller<br />
<br />
Short Talks (15-20 min):<br />
<br />
* Mobile Development with HTML5 and Open Source at Pierce County WA, Jared Erickson<br />
* FOSS pipeline to produce meter-scale DEM and velocity products from commercial satellite imagery: First results for Antarctic/Greenland Ice Sheets, David Shean<br />
* Rendering OSM via Mapserver - mapserver-utils and mapcache - Greg Corradini<br />
<br />
Lightning Talks (5-10 min):<br />
* Intro to TileMill - Dane Springmeyer<br />
* GIT basics - Intro to Git, GitHub, GitPages, and Giting your Git on - Aaron Racicot<br />

= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 3pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
Workshops:<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ Worshop Description]<br />

= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />

<br />
= Morning Session: Workshops/Talks (9am to 12pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
Talks (15-20 min):<br />
* Mobile Development with HTML5 and Open Source at Pierce County WA, Jared Erickson<br />
* FOSS pipeline to produce meter-scale DEM and velocity products from commercial satellite imagery: First results for Antarctic/Greenland Ice Sheets, David Shean<br />
<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
= Mid Afternoon Workshops (1pm to 3pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
Workshops:<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Windows Desktop" - Run by Dane Springmeyer (MapBox) - Windows represents over 80% of the computers worldwide. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Windows without sacrificing functionality and without endlessly battling with installations. Key gochas will be covered, and techniques for filling in the gaps between tools without resorting to compiles or running a VM. Make sure to read this [http://sproke.blogspot.com/2012/02/game-changer-open-source-mapping-in.html | blog post] before coming, and bring your laptop and an open mind.<br />
<br />
* "Open Source Mapping for the Linux Desktop" - Run by Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley) - Linux represents no where near 80% of the computers worldwide... yet it rocks. This workshop will detail how to get some key tools running on Linux and teach users how to leverage the power of the command line. We dont aim to convert you to Linux, but it might be an unanticipated outcome of participating in this session. We still have to work out how we will run this (i.e. VM, LiveDVD, do it yourself pre-install), but we can work that out in the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
* "gvSIG / Sextante 'everywhere' workshop" - Run by Karsten V (Terra GIS) - [http://www.terragis.net/2012/04/25/sextante-everywhere/ | Worshop Description]<br />
<br />
= Late Afternoon Hack Session: (3pm to 5pm)<br> =<br />

<br />
= Annual Book Drive =<br />
<br />
Once again this year, CUGOS will be having a book drive as part of the Spring Fling event!<br />
<br />
You will recall that the process works like this:<br />
<br />
Clean off your bookshelves to find good-quality books appropriate for the CUGOS audience. Bring them to the Fling, where we will have a table set up in the back of the room to display them on. Attendees will browse the offerings during the day, and if they see a book they could use they will take it home. <br />
<br />
The suggested donation will be $5 per book. All proceeds will go to cover the Fling expenses and CUGOS operations in general.<br />
<br />
Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to look over your shelves and find some goodies you can donate to the cause. Items appropriate for donating to the book drive include things like:<br />
<br />
* that extra copy of "Web Mapping Illustrated", which you never quite got around to having Tyler autograph for you<br />
<br />
* a mint-condition copy of O'Connell's "Software Project Survival Guide", which your boss gave to you because he didn't have time to read it and which you somehow never quite got around to either<br />
<br />
* your Physical Geography college textbook from 1989, which despite the coffee stains and cigarette burns is still perfectly usable because, hey, the earth doesn’t change very much very often anyway<br />

<br />
[http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo Live] provides [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD bootable ISO-Images] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine Virtual Machines] which allow users to try out fully-operational versions of popular Free Geospatial Software without the need to install a thing. Everything is set up for you ready to go: just reboot into it, glance at the help pages on the desktop, and go. The existing hard drive and operating system will not be modified in any way, everything happens in temporary system memory. As such it will run a bit slower than the "real thing" and you may want to grab a USB flash drive to save or transfer files with. You can load and boot a live-image completely from a USB stick too if you prefer.<br />
<br />
We do this in large part by maintaining automated build scripts which collect many [[OSGeo]] programs and sample data-sets together, and then combine them to form the Live disc or VM itself. By tweaking these scripts users are free to make their own custom distributions, for example localized in their own language and with local map data.<br />
<br />
* For the [http://2009.foss4g.org/ 2009 FOSS4G conference] a snapshot of Free Geospatial software has been collected onto the [http://arramagong.com Arramagong Live DVD and VM].<br />

Metrics from Ohloh: https://www.ohloh.net/p/OSGeo-Live<br />
<br />
= Use Cases =<br />
<br />
There are multiple use cases for this product:<br />
<br />
* '''Demo DVD''' that can be handed out at conferences.<br />This will contain a wide variety of applications, preconfigured with some sample data and containing introductory tutorials. It should be able to function completely offline, at least within the scope of the tutorials, and should provide an introduction to many products. This is very much a Live DVD, and as such should be conservative with regards to size (it will be run from RAM).<br />
* '''Education DVD'''<br />This seems to be a more involved version than the Demo DVD, including more involved material, including train-the-trainer style material. This is targeted at those who will be teaching others, be it in workshops or university classes/labs. My expectation (mleslie: feel free to correct me) is that this is more likely to be installed on machines and used as a teaching resource, as opposed to a toy to play with, as with the Demo DVD. This will require material developed through the [[Category:Education|Education initiative]].<br />
* '''Workstation Install DVD'''<br /> This need was seen in Cape Town, where the bandwidth seems to be a very limiting factor. Using the DVD to install either a complete OS, a set of packages to an existing Linux, or Windows installers completely offline is of great value in the developing world. Would it be of greater value to lose the Edu or demo material and put in complete application documentation?<br />

<hr />
<div>= Purpose =<br />
<br />
This is OSGeo's 4th annual "North American Codesprint" -- a time to bring members of OSGeo-related projects together to make decisions and tackle larger problems. <br />
<br />
Previous event have been held in [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011). <br />
<br />
= Timing =<br />
<br />
February 5-9, 2011.<br><br />
<br />
The event will be begin on Feb 5th (Sunday night arrival), span three full days of sprinting, and end after lunch on the 9th (Thursday).<br> <br />
<br />
= Venue =<br />
<br />
It will be held at [http://www.islandwood.org/ IslandWood], a nonprofit retreat center located on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_Island,_Washington Bainbridge Island], an island a few miles west of Seattle in the northwest United States. <br />
<br />
= Hosts =<br />
<br />
Rushing in where angels fear to tread, Michael P. Gerlek (mpg) is taking the lead on this event. [http://www.cugos.org/ CUGOS], the local OSGeo chapter, is the hosting organization. <br />
<br />
Local volunteers assisting include: <br />
<br />
*Craig Miller (Spatial Minds / CUGOS) <br />
*Michael Rosen (LizardTech / CUGOS) <br />
*Aaron Racicot (Z-Pulley Inc / CUGOS) <br />
*''&lt;add your name here!&gt;''<br />
<br />
= Sponsors =<br />
<br />
The Montreal sprint had ten $750 sponsors. We expect to have a similar number this year. <br />
<br />
If you think you know of a possible sponsor, or if you are a possible sponsor, contact Michael P. Gerlek (mpg@flaxen.com). <br />
<br />
= Budget =<br />
<br />
Details to come, but expected costs include: <br />
<br />
*facilities rental (conference rooms, etc) <br />
*lodging (on-campus rooms) <br />
*meals<br />
<br />
We expect to cover costs in three ways: <br />
<br />
*sponsorships <br />
*participant registration fees <br />
*surplus from previous years (approximately $2K)<br />
<br />
= Participant Costs =<br />
<br />
Participants will be responsible for paying their own transportation to and from IslandWood. In addition, participants will be expected to cover the costs of lodging (comparable to a hotel) and possibly some of their meal costs: US$525 is the target price.&nbsp; (with 30 registrants and 10 sponsors, this will get us to break-even point).&nbsp; Contact mpg@flaxen.com to register.<br />
<br />
= Food =<br />
<br />
IslandWood has an excellent on-site restaurant/cafeteria that emphasizes local, sustainable, and organic cuisine. <br />
<br />
*Breakfast: continental style <br />
*Lunch: boxed lunches <br />
*Dinner: full meal, choice of entrees, beer/wine available <br />
*Snacks: coffee, fruit, cookies, etc, will be provided in the meeting room<br />
<br />
Accomodation can be made for any dietary restrictions. <br />
<br />
= Communication =<br />
<br />
All planning will take place on this wiki, on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint tosprint mailing list], and on the #tosprint IRC channel. <br />
<br />
= Projects =<br />
<br />
These are the projects will be working on: <br />
<br />
*GDAL <br />
*MapServer <br />
*libLAS/PDAL <br />
*PostGIS <br />
*TinyOWS <br />
*''&lt;add your project here!&gt;''<br />
<br />
= Participants =<br />
<br />
If you want to come, please add your name (and project(s)) here and indicate either "I'm interested, but won't know for sure until closer to the time" or "I'll definitely be there, and would be willing to pay the registration fee in advance" <br />
<br />
*Michael P. Gerlek (Flaxen Geo) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite <br />
*Michael D. Smith (US Army Corps) -- libLAS/PDAL/MapServer/GDAL -- definite/can pay in advance <br />
*Frank Warmerdam (Google) -- tentative <br />
*Daniel Morissette (Mapgears) -- MapServer, GDAL/OGR -- 99% probability <br />
*Craig Miller (SpatialMinds) -- MapGuideOS (possibly), QGIS (possibly) -- 98% -- Have some things to work out. May add another project to the list in upcoming months. <br />

*Howard Butler (Hobu, Inc.) -- libLAS/PDAL -- definite/can pay in advance<br />
*[[User:Racicot|Aaron Racicot]] (Z-Pulley Inc.) -- QGIS, Mapserver -- definite/can pay in advance<br />
Note that once registration is open, it will be **first come, first served**. Space is limited, so those who pay first will be at the front of the line.<br />
<br />
= Agenda =<br />
<br />
Still tentative, something like this: <br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' <br />
<br />
*''arrival throughout the day'' <br />
*perhaps dinner provided<br />
<br />
'''Monday''' <br />
<br />
*continental breakfast <br />
*sprint all morning <br />
*boxed lunch <br />
*sprint all afternoon <br />
*group sit-down dinner <br />
*evening open/social time at the lodges<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday''' <br />
<br />
*continental breakfast <br />
*sprint all morning <br />
*boxed lunch <br />
*sprint all afternoon <br />
*group sit-down dinner <br />
*evening open/social time at the lodges<br />
<br />
'''Wednesday''' <br />
<br />
*continental breakfast <br />
*sprint all morning <br />
*boxed lunch <br />
*sprint all afternoon <br />
*group sit-down dinner <br />
*evening open/social time at the lodges<br />
<br />
'''Thursday''' <br />
<br />
*''departures throughout the day'' <br />
*continental breakfast <br />
*perhaps lunch provided<br />
<br />
= Non-sprint Activities =<br />
<br />
There will be one formal (but optional) "team building / outdoor fun" event, run for us by the IslandWood staff. Details TDB. Dress appropriately. The event will likely be 2-3 hours, before dinner on either Tuesday or Wednesday. <br />
<br />
IslandWood offers lots of trails, ponds, etc, for informal walks / jogs / etc you can explore at any time on your own. <br />
<br />
There will likely also be an informal walk down to the beach (2-3 miles, off campus), hosted by mpg. <br />
<br />
= Transportation =<br />
<br />
Getting to IslandWood is a 4-step process -- but don't panic, it's actually not as complicated as it sounds: <br />
<br />
'''(1) To SeaTac Airport''' <br />
<br />
Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to the [http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ Seattle airport]. <br />
<br />
'''(2) From Airport to Seattle Ferry dock''' <br />
<br />
From SeaTac, you will need to get to the Colman ferry dock in downtown Seattle. Two options: <br />
<br />
*a ~$40 cab ride, from airport to dock <br />
*a ~$3 light rail from airport, followed by a walk of a few blocks to the dock<br />
<br />
'''(3) From Seattle dock to Bainbridge dock''' <br />
<br />
Take the [http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/ScheduleDetailByRoute.aspx?route=sea-bi Seattle/Bainbridge] ferry, for about $7. Ferries leave every hour or less all day long, except between about 1AM and 5AM. <br />
<br />
'''(4) From Bainbridge dock to IslandWood''' <br />
<br />
Cabs are almost always available at the Bainbridge dock -- a trip to IslandWood is about 10 miles, should be ~$15 or so. (Note that you will likely be sharing a cab with someone else; the island has a limited number of cabs, so they carpool. Just go with the flow.) <br />
<br />
Depending on how things go, I might see if I can arrange a shuttle or something if multiple people are arriving all at once. Or if you get really stuck, you can call me and I'll just come get you. <br />
<br />
(see also [http://islandwood.org/about/directions this page] for more transportation hints) <br />
<br />
= FAQ =<br />
<br />
'''Q: I'm new to open source and OSGeo. Can I come too?''' <br />
<br />
This is a heads-down-and-laptops-open working meeting, aimed squarely at writing code/documentation and holding serious technical discussions about OSGeo-related projects. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects. If you're not already participating in one of the projects being worked on, this isn't the event for you. '''Q: But, that's not very fair. How am I supposed to learn about the projects and meet people?''' <br />
<br />
Each project has portals like mailing lists, wikis, and IRC channels for you to start to meet people and get involved. If you really want to participate in the sprint, you should get involved with the project ahead of time. <br />
<br />
'''Q: Will it be possible to give a presentation during this event?''' <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
'''Q: I'm just a poor student, but I'm an active member of the &lt;whatever&gt; project and I really want to attend. Are scholarships available?''' <br />
<br />
Maybe -- depends on how our budget turns out. Contact mpg@flaxen.com and we'll see what we can do.</div>Wiki-Racicothttps://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=IslandWood_Code_Sprint_2012&diff=56021IslandWood Code Sprint 20122011-07-14T16:31:36Z<p>Wiki-Racicot: </p>

Getting to IslandWood is a 4-step process -- but don't panic, it's actually not as complicated as it sounds: <br />
<br />
'''(1) To SeaTac Airport''' <br />
<br />
Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to the [http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ Seattle airport]. <br />
<br />
'''(2) From Airport to Seattle Ferry dock''' <br />
<br />
From SeaTac, you will need to get to the Colman ferry dock in downtown Seattle. Two options: <br />
<br />
*a ~$40 cab ride, from airport to dock <br />
*a ~$3 light rail from airport, followed by a walk of a few blocks to the dock<br />
<br />
'''(3) From Seattle dock to Bainbridge dock''' <br />
<br />
Take the [http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/ScheduleDetailByRoute.aspx?route=sea-bi Seattle/Bainbridge] ferry, for about $7. Ferries leave every hour or less all day long, except between about 1AM and 5AM. <br />
<br />
'''(4) From Bainbridge dock to IslandWood''' <br />
<br />
Cabs are almost always available at the Bainbridge dock -- a trip to IslandWood is about 10 miles, should be ~$15 or so. (Note that you will likely be sharing a cab with someone else; the island has a limited number of cabs, so they carpool. Just go with the flow.) <br />
<br />
Depending on how things go, I might see if I can arrange a shuttle or something if multiple people are arriving all at once. Or if you get really stuck, you can call me and I'll just come get you. <br />
<br />
(see also [http://islandwood.org/about/directions this page] for more transportation hints) <br />
<br />
= FAQ =<br />
<br />
'''Q: I'm new to open source and OSGeo. Can I come too?''' <br />
<br />
This is a heads-down-and-laptops-open working meeting, aimed squarely at writing code/documentation and holding serious technical discussions about OSGeo-related projects. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects. If you're not already participating in one of the projects being worked on, this isn't the event for you. '''Q: But, that's not very fair. How am I supposed to learn about the projects and meet people?''' <br />
<br />
Each project has portals like mailing lists, wikis, and IRC channels for you to start to meet people and get involved. If you really want to participate in the sprint, you should get involved with the project ahead of time. <br />
<br />
'''Q: Will it be possible to give a presentation during this event?''' <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
'''Q: I'm just a poor student, but I'm an active member of the &lt;whatever&gt; project and I really want to attend. Are scholarships available?''' <br />
<br />
Maybe -- depends on how our budget turns out. Contact mpg@flaxen.com and we'll see what we can do.</div>Wiki-Racicothttps://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=IslandWood_Code_Sprint_2012&diff=56020IslandWood Code Sprint 20122011-07-14T16:30:33Z<p>Wiki-Racicot: </p>
<hr />
<div>= Purpose =<br />
<br />
This is OSGeo's 4th annual "North American Codesprint" -- a time to bring members of OSGeo-related projects together to make decisions and tackle larger problems. <br />
<br />
Previous event have been held in [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011). <br />
<br />
= Timing =<br />
<br />
February 5-9, 2011.<br><br />
<br />
The event will be begin on Feb 5th (Sunday night arrival), span three full days of sprinting, and end after lunch on the 9th (Thursday).<br> <br />
<br />
= Venue =<br />
<br />
It will be held at [http://www.islandwood.org/ IslandWood], a nonprofit retreat center located on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_Island,_Washington Bainbridge Island], an island a few miles west of Seattle in the northwest United States. <br />
<br />
= Hosts =<br />
<br />
Rushing in where angels fear to tread, Michael P. Gerlek (mpg) is taking the lead on this event. [http://www.cugos.org/ CUGOS], the local OSGeo chapter, is the hosting organization. <br />
<br />
Local volunteers assisting include: <br />
<br />
*Craig Miller (Spatial Minds / CUGOS) <br />
*Michael Rosen (LizardTech / CUGOS) <br />
*''&lt;add your name here!&gt;''<br />
<br />
= Sponsors =<br />
<br />
The Montreal sprint had ten $750 sponsors. We expect to have a similar number this year. <br />
<br />
If you think you know of a possible sponsor, or if you are a possible sponsor, contact Michael P. Gerlek (mpg@flaxen.com). <br />
<br />
= Budget =<br />
<br />
Details to come, but expected costs include: <br />
<br />
*facilities rental (conference rooms, etc) <br />
*lodging (on-campus rooms) <br />
*meals<br />
<br />
We expect to cover costs in three ways: <br />
<br />
*sponsorships <br />
*participant registration fees <br />
*surplus from previous years (approximately $2K)<br />
<br />
= Participant Costs =<br />
<br />
Participants will be responsible for paying their own transportation to and from IslandWood. In addition, participants will be expected to cover the costs of lodging (comparable to a hotel) and possibly some of their meal costs: US$525 is the target price.&nbsp; (with 30 registrants and 10 sponsors, this will get us to break-even point).&nbsp; Contact mpg@flaxen.com to register.<br />
<br />
= Food =<br />
<br />
IslandWood has an excellent on-site restaurant/cafeteria that emphasizes local, sustainable, and organic cuisine. <br />
<br />
*Breakfast: continental style <br />
*Lunch: boxed lunches <br />
*Dinner: full meal, choice of entrees, beer/wine available <br />
*Snacks: coffee, fruit, cookies, etc, will be provided in the meeting room<br />
<br />
Accomodation can be made for any dietary restrictions. <br />
<br />
= Communication =<br />
<br />
All planning will take place on this wiki, on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint tosprint mailing list], and on the #tosprint IRC channel. <br />
<br />

<div>On April 20th, 2011, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We will provide FREE food and drinks, thanks to following sponsors: '''TerraGIS'''([http://terragis.net]), '''Spatialdev'''([http://spatialdev.com]), '''Zonar System'''([http://zonarsystem.com]) &amp; '''UW Geospatial Club'''. <br />
<br />
Please register here for this free event: '''http://cugos-springfling-2011.eventbrite.com/'''<br />
so we can plan for attendance and food ;)<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The basic idea of this event is to come in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then learn some high level stuff in the evening.&nbsp; As such, the day will be broken up as follows:<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning session -- "speed" workshops<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-4: afternoon session -- open hacking<br>''' <br />
*'''4-6: dinner<br>''' <br />
*'''6-8: evening session -- regular meeting<br>'''<br />
<br />
<br> Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> All skill and interest levels are welcome! -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />

'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br> <br />
<br />
Lunch is sponsor by '''Zonar System'''&amp; '''UW Geospatial Club'''. <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lunchtime roundtable: mpg will lead a spirited discussion entitled "Does the World Need an Open Source Server Framework for Lidar Data, and If So, How Would We Build It?"<br />
<br><br />
= Afternoon Session: Open (yet organized!) Hacking (1pm to 4pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br><br> <br> Idea is to have 2-3 pre-planned projects (topics) that small groups can self organize and hack on some code. There would be a group leader that will have much of the infrastructure set up ahead of time (test data, code repo, etc). Here are some ideas:: <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*OSM rendering test framework:: Leader MattK and GregC<br />
<br />
- Idea is to create as many rendering instances of OSM data as posible on the OBM server<br />
- Come up with test cases that will stress all rendering engines<br />
- Come up with jMeter test suites to run<br />
- Maybe a django project to run tests, visualize results, and even add and remove tests.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Restful interface to all OBM services:: Leader AaronR<br />
<br />
- Idea is to create a django project to wrap all OBM services (NAIP images, OSM rendering, etc) into a logical restful interface<br />
- Sub-projects include coming up with URL structures, implementing the restful interface, and finally implementing the pages (metadata, tests, examples, etc)<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Dinner Session (4pm to 6pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
We will be walking over to the University Ave for a no-host dinner sometime after 4pm, returning around 6pm.&nbsp; Exact venue to be determined on the fly; this session might even split into parallel tracks.<br><br> <br />
<br />
= Evening Session: Monthly Meeting and prepared talks (6pm to 8pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' 121 Raitt Hall<br> <br> First 10 minutes will be CUGOS intro and mini meeting:: <br />
<br />
*Aaron intro the group and what we are and invite new folks to participate as well as recap of rest of day <br> <br />
*MPG will be be presenting a short (~5 min) recap of last month's Montreal codesprint and suggest CUGOS to host the 2012 event<br> <br />
*Discussion of forming a nonprofit<br />
<br />
<br> 2 hours of talks -&gt; 6 - 20 minute talks (hard stop on timing):: <br />

One person noted that "my personal experience is that one can find street parking north of 50th, west of I-5, and down by University Village shopping center, if one is willing to walk 30 to 45 minutes () . But many of those areas were also being converted to resident restricted zones. Bus is really easy." <br> <br />

<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br><br> <br> Idea is to have 2-3 pre-planned projects (topics) that small groups can self organize and hack on some code. There would be a group leader that will have much of the infrastructure set up ahead of time (test data, code repo, etc). Here are some ideas:: <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*OSM rendering test framework:: Leader MattK and GregC<br />
<br />
- Idea is to create as many rendering instances of OSM data as posible on the OBM server<br />
- Come up with test cases that will stress all rendering engines<br />
- Come up with jMeter test suites to run<br />
- Maybe a django project to run tests, visualize results, and even add and remove tests.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Restful interface to all OBM services:: Leader AaronR<br />
<br />
- Idea is to create a django project to wrap all OBM services (NAIP images, OSM rendering, etc) into a logical restful interface<br />
- Sub-projects include coming up with URL structures, implementing the restful interface, and finally implementing the pages (metadata, tests, examples, etc)<br />

<div>On April 20th, 2011, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We will provide FREE food and drinks, thanks to following sponsors: '''TerraGIS'''([http://terragis.net]), '''Spatialdev'''([http://spatialdev.com]), '''Zonar System'''([http://zonarsystem.com]) &amp; '''UW Geospatial Club'''. <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The basic idea of this event is to come in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then learn some high level stuff in the evening.&nbsp; As such, the day will be broken up as follows:<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning session -- "speed" workshops<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-4: afternoon session -- open hacking<br>''' <br />
*'''4-6: dinner<br>''' <br />
*'''6-8: evening session -- regular meeting<br>'''<br />
<br />
<br> Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> All skill and interest levels are welcome! -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />

<br />
*Restful interface to all OBM services:: Leader AaronR<br />
<br />
- Idea is to create a django project to wrap all OBM services (NAIP images, OSM rendering, etc) into a logical restful interface<br />
- Sub-projects include coming up with URL structures, implementing the restful interface, and finally implementing the pages (metadata, tests, examples, etc)<br />

<div>On April 20th, 2011, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We will provide FREE food and drinks, thanks to following sponsors: '''TerraGIS'''([http://terragis.net]), '''Spatialdev'''([http://spatialdev.com]), '''Zonar System'''([http://zonarsystem.com]) &amp; '''UW Geospatial Club'''. <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The basic idea of this event is to come in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then learn some high level stuff in the evening.&nbsp; As such, the day will be broken up as follows:<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning session -- "speed" workshops<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>''' <br />
*'''1-4: afternoon session -- open hacking<br>''' <br />
*'''4-6: dinner<br>''' <br />
*'''6-8: evening session -- regular meeting<br>'''<br />

<div>On April 20th, 2011, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We will provide FREE food and drinks, thanks to following sponsors:<br />
'''TerraGIS'''([http://terragis.net]), '''Spatialdev'''([http://spatialdev.com]), '''Zonar System'''([http://zonarsystem.com]) & '''UW Geospatial Club'''.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The basic idea of this event is to come in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then learn some high level stuff in the evening.&nbsp; As such, the day will be broken up as follows:<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning session -- "speed" workshops<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>'''<br />
*'''1-4: afternoon session -- open hacking<br>''' <br />
*'''4-6: dinner<br>''' <br />
*'''6-8: evening session -- regular meeting<br>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
All skill and interest levels are welcome! -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Morning Session: Workshops (9am to 12pm)<br> =<br />
Sponsor by '''TerraGIS''' & '''Spatialdev'''<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br> <br />
<br />
'''12 - 10 minute slots''' (10 min lightning instruction, 5 minutes Q&A each):<br> <br />
Idea is a progression from server to desktop to web... hopefully utilizing common test data<br />
<br><br><br />
'''4 slots on server side tools:'''<br />
* Install and setup of PostgresSQL/PostGIS on Linux system - RogerA <br><br />
* R, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS: techniques for processing large data sets - Phil Hurvitz<br><br />
* tbd (maybe gdal/ogr tips and tricks) ??? <br><br />
* tbd (basic batch processing with bash and python) AaronR? <br><br />
* tbd (maybe basic dev env tools like git/svn) GregC? <br><br />
<br><br />
'''4 slots on desktop tools:'''<br />
* gvSIG spatial analysis basics - Karsten <br> <br />
* Basic LIDAR data processing - MPG (help from Roger) <br><br />
* Workflow Migration from ESRI to Open Source (python scripting) - Allison Bailey <br> <br />
* tbd (maybe qgis plugins) ??? <br><br />
<br><br />
'''4 slots on web tools:'''<br />
* OSM rendering (comparison of rendering tools and OpenLayers setup for OSM) - Matt K<br />
* tbd (maybe basic AJAX and jQuery) ??? <br> <br />

<br />
Lunch is sponsor by '''Zonar System'''& '''UW Geospatial Club'''.<br />

= Afternoon Session: Open (yet organized!) Hacking (1pm to 4pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br><br> <br />
<br> <br />
Idea is to have 2-3 pre-planned projects (topics) that small groups can self organize and hack on some code. There would be a group leader that will have much of the infrastructure set up ahead of time (test data, code repo, etc). Here are some ideas::<br />
<br> <br />
* Lidar:: Leader Michael Gerlek : "Does the World Need an Open Source Server Framework for Lidar Data, and If So, How Would We Build It?" <br />
<br> <br />
* OSM rendering test framework:: Leader MattK and GregC<br />
- Idea is to create as many rendering instances of OSM data as posible on the OBM server<br />
- Come up with test cases that will stress all rendering engines<br />
- Come up with jMeter test suites to run<br />
- Maybe a django project to run tests, visualize results, and even add and remove tests.<br />
<br> <br />
* Restful interface to all OBM services:: Leader AaronR<br />
- Idea is to create a django project to wrap all OBM services (NAIP images, OSM rendering, etc) into a logical restful interface<br />
- Sub-projects include coming up with URL structures, implementing the restful interface, and finally implementing the pages (metadata, tests, examples, etc)<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Dinner Session (4pm to 6pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
We will be walking over to the University Ave for a no-host dinner sometime after 4pm, returning around 6pm.&nbsp; Exact venue to be determined on the fly; this session might even split into parallel tracks.<br><br> <br />
<br />
= Evening Session: Monthly Meeting and prepared talks (6pm to 8pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' 121 Raitt Hall<br> <br />
<br> <br />
First 10 minutes will be CUGOS intro and mini meeting::<br />
* Aaron intro the group and what we are and invite new folks to participate as well as recap of rest of day <br> <br />
* MPG will be be presenting a short (~5 min) recap of last month's Montreal codesprint <br> <br />
<br> <br />
2 hours of talks -> 6 - 20 minute talks (hard stop on timing)::<br />
* "Open Data Kit project (http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit)" -Yaw Anokwa of UW <br> <br />
* "Publishing Data to GeoNetwork/GeoServer from ArcGIS using GeoCat bridge" from Jubal Harpster.<br />
* "ArcGIS, OpenGeoData, and R or Why I use the tools I do: the sordid life of a spatial statistics post doc" - Chris Fowler<br />
* "Open Source Lidar State of the Union" - MPG<br> <br />

<hr />
<div>On April 20th, 2011, CUGOS ([http://www.cugos.org/ www.cugos.org],[http://cugos.posterous.com]) will be holding a special all-day "spring fling" event at University of Washington Seattle Campus in place of our regular monthly meeting. We will provide FREE food and drinks, thanks to following sponsors:<br />
'''TerraGIS'''([http://terragis.net]), '''Spatialdev'''([http://spatialdev.com]), '''Zonar System'''([http://zonarsystem.com]) & '''UW Geospatial Club'''.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The basic idea of this event is to come in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then learn some high level stuff in the evening.&nbsp; As such, the day will be broken up as follows:<br> <br />
<br />
*'''9-12: morning session -- workshops<br>''' <br />
*'''12-1: lunch<br>'''<br />
*'''1-4: afternoon session -- open hacking<br>''' <br />
*'''4-6: dinner<br>''' <br />
*'''6-8: evening session -- regular meeting<br>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Details are given below, but be aware that all agendas and times are approximate -- we'll be loose and agile and nimble and react to changing events and schedules as our whimsies take us.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
All skill and interest levels are welcome! -- please join us for as much of the day as you can.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Morning Session: Workshops (9am to 12pm)<br> =<br />
Sponsor by '''TerraGIS''' & '''Spatialdev'''<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br> <br />
<br />
'''We are overbooked here -- need to work this out, likely move some talks into the evening<br>'''<br />
<br />
Six 30-minute slots:<br> <br />
* OSM for Openbasemap stuff from Matt Kenny/Greg Corradini<br> <br />
* Workflow Migration from ESRI to Open Source from Allison Bailey <br> <br />
* gvSIG spatial analysis basics from Karsten <br> <br />
* Basic LIDAR data processing (possible w/ mpg) from Roger <br><br />
* Install and setup of PostgresSQL/PostGIS on Linux system from Roger <br> <br />
* "R, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS: techniques for processing large data sets", from Phil Hurvitz<br><br />
<br />
'''Alternative - 12 - 10 minute slots''' (10 min lightning instruction, 5 minutes Q&A):<br> <br />
Idea is a progression from server to desktop to web... hopefully utilizing common test data<br />
<br><br />
'''4 slots on server side tools:''' <br><br />
* Install and setup of PostgresSQL/PostGIS on Linux system - RogerA <br><br />
* R, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS: techniques for processing large data sets - Phil Hurvitz<br><br />
* tbd (maybe gdal/ogr tips and tricks) ??? <br><br />
* tbd (basic batch processing with bash and python) AaronR? <br><br />
* tbd (maybe basic dev env tools like git/svn) GregC? <br><br />
<br><br />
'''4 slots on desktop tools:'''<br />
* gvSIG spatial analysis basics - Karsten <br> <br />
* Basic LIDAR data processing - MPG (help from Roger) <br><br />
* Workflow Migration from ESRI to Open Source (python scripting) - Allison Bailey <br> <br />

<br />
= <br>Meal Session: Lunch (12pm to 1pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br> <br />
<br />
Lunch is sponsor by '''Zonar System'''& '''UW Geospatial Club'''.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Afternoon Session: Open (yet organized!) Hacking (1pm to 4pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' Forest Club Room, Anderson Hall<br><br> <br />
<br> <br />
Idea is to have 2-3 pre-planned projects (topics) that small groups can self organize and hack on some code. There would be a group leader that will have much of the infrastructure set up ahead of time (test data, code repo, etc). Here are some ideas::<br />
<br> <br />
* Lidar:: Leader Michael Gerlek : "Does the World Need an Open Source Server Framework for Lidar Data, and If So, How Would We Build It?" <br />
<br> <br />
* OSM rendering test framework:: Leader MattK and GregC<br />
- Idea is to create as many rendering instances of OSM data as posible on the OBM server<br />
- Come up with test cases that will stress all rendering engines<br />
- Come up with jMeter test suites to run<br />
- Maybe a django project to run tests, visualize results, and even add and remove tests.<br />
<br> <br />
* Restful interface to all OBM services:: Leader AaronR<br />
- Idea is to create a django project to wrap all OBM services (NAIP images, OSM rendering, etc) into a logical restful interface<br />
- Sub-projects include coming up with URL structures, implementing the restful interface, and finally implementing the pages (metadata, tests, examples, etc)<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
= Dinner Session (4pm to 6pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
We will be walking over to the University Ave for a no-host dinner sometime after 4pm, returning around 6pm.&nbsp; Exact venue to be determined on the fly; this session might even split into parallel tracks.<br><br> <br />
<br />
= Evening Session: Monthly Meeting and prepared talks (6pm to 8pm)<br> =<br />
<br />
'''Venue:''' 121 Raitt Hall<br> <br />
<br> <br />
First 10 minutes will be CUGOS intro and mini meeting::<br />
* Aaron intro the group and what we are and invite new folks to participate as well as recap of rest of day <br> <br />
* MPG will be be presenting a short (~5 min) recap of last month's Montreal codesprint <br> <br />
<br> <br />
2 hours of talks -> 6 - 20 minute talks (hard stop on timing)::<br />
* "Open Data Kit project (http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit)" -Yaw Anokwa of UW <br> <br />
* "Publishing Data to GeoNetwork/GeoServer from ArcGIS using GeoCat bridge" from Jubal Harpster.<br />
* "ArcGIS, OpenGeoData, and R or Why I use the tools I do: the sordid life of a spatial statistics post doc" - Chris Fowler<br />
* "Open Source Lidar State of the Union" - MPG<br> <br />
* "OSM in Disaster Response - Humanitarian OpenStreetMap (HOT)" - Dane Springmeyer<br />
* "ERMA and the Gulf Coast - Open Source tools in government disaster response" - Aaron Racicot<br />

<div>== Cascadia Local Chapter ==<br />
The Cascadia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia] chapter of the OSGeo is based on a regional FOSS GIS user group formed in 2007 called Cascadia Users of Geospatial Open Source (CUGOS)[http://www.cugos.org/]<br />
<br />
We are an active group of members who are passionate about Open Source software, GIS, and our region. We have members from all walks of life, a large spectrum of business and academia, and active OSGeo members (board members, charter members, and active project participants).<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Started in February 2007, CUGOS has quickly grown from a core of three founders to a mailing list of over 100 active members. Loosely based on the FRUGOS group [http://groups.google.com/group/frugos], we have held monthly meetings since inception and are active in local, regional and international FOSS GIS activities.<br />
In it's second year the group has started to branch out into other activities such as hosting code sprints and actively working toward hosting a regional FOSS4G mini-conference.<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
The OSGeo Cascadia Chapter strives to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The Chapter is focused on the Pacific Northwest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest] region of the United States as well as Southern British Columbia. The group hosts meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.<br />
<br />
== Continuing Goals ==<br />
* Hold monthly meetings (Third Wed of the month)<br />
* Advocate for the use of Open Source GIS at regional and state levels<br />
* Maintain an OSGeo presence at conferences<br />
* Host a regional FOSS4G mini-conference<br />
* Help act as a breeding ground for new projects<br />
<br />
== Near Term Goals ==<br />
[[Image:RoadFlaw_CodeSprint.jpg|thumb|right|Road Flaw Code Sprint]]<br />
* Facilitate learning through an ongoing project<br />

<br />
== Membership ==<br />
There are currently 100 people subscribed to the CUGOS mailing list [http://groups.google.com/group/cugos/about]. A typical meeting has around 15 participants and is consistently held at LizardTech [http://www.lizardtech.com/company/contact.php] in downtown Seattle [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1008+Western+Ave+Seattle,+WA+98104&spn=0.027654,0.040117&hl=en] on the third Wednesday of the month.<br />

Loosely based on the FRUGOS group [http://groups.google.com/group/frugos], we have held monthly meetings since inception and are active in local, regional and international FOSS GIS activities.<br />
In it's second year the group has started to branch out into other activities such as hosting code sprints and actively working toward hosting a regional FOSS4G mini-conference.<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
The OSGeo Cascadia Chapter strives to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The Chapter is focused on the Pacific Northwest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest] region of the United States as well as Southern British Columbia. The group hosts meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.<br />
<br />
== Continuing Goals ==<br />
* Hold monthly meetings (Third Wed of the month)<br />
* Advocate for the use of Open Source GIS at regional and state levels<br />
* Maintain an OSGeo presence at conferences<br />
* Host a regional FOSS4G mini-conference<br />
* Help act as a breeding ground for new projects<br />
