I was sad *not* to do some developer focused workshops. I am a developer and frankly I need more developers on the different open source projects I am involved with. I would like nothing more then to set up a workshop to inspire and involve new contributors in lots of 40.
Folks, I'd like to raise (re-raise?) that we are planning to have some facilities available Friday for coding sprints, hack-a-thons, or similar activities by projects. My hope for the GDAL project is to treat this as more of a hack-a-thon (loosely collaberation) with an opportunity for developers who want to learn about GDAL getting involved, as well as existing hard core GDAL hackers. I believe the conference planners expect to provide tables, chairs, power and internet connectivity. Projects should bring laptops, energy, and ideas. I think the Friday code-sprint / hack-a-thon day may be the best part of the conference for developers like me. I'm also hoping with different projects nearby it will be a good day for inter-project efforts.
As for any play time with developers (new and old) I am saving my energies for the code sprint.
Doh! I see Jody already mentioned this. Oh well, consider this amplification!
