And many thanks to Andreas for helping out in the lab. It's always a pleasure to meet all the other developers in person. Now if we can just get Cameron on a plane...
I think limiting the amount of material to be covered really helped this year. I've uploaded my notes and the presentation for the lab (written after the fact) to http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/FOSS4G+2007+Lab+materials and put a link from the MapBuilder home page. The code sprint was a really interesting experience to see that much brain power chugging away in one room and much was accomplished including the SLD editing, animated zooming and documentation. There was also much interest in Proj4js and it was pointed out that there is no web presence for this project so I created http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Proj4js as a place holder for search engines to index until there is a better web presence for this. Thanks to Richard for helping out at the demo and for the discussions on the API and mathematical details. This will surely be evolving for the better.
