Venka, Does it get easier than this for having the whole world in the palm of your hand? Be sure “Auto-run” in the third column is checked: http://jsbin.com/canayolane/1/edit?html,js,output

The Europa Challenge is a well-designed ‘code sprint’ opportunity for doing this world some good. So it would seem a good way for the Code Sprinters to double-down on their efforts while fully supporting the OSGEO Code Sprint Paris 2016. I too am not connected in that realm, so am quite alien to making this idea work. But the Europa Challenge has respectable pedigree and deserves the attention. Anyway, just a thought. . . -Patrick From: Venkatesh Raghavan [mailto:ragha...@media.osaka-cu.ac.jp] Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2016 6:28 PM To: Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX); OSGeo Discussions; OSGeo Board Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints Hi Patrick, On 2/22/2016 9:32 AM, Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX) wrote: Venka, Howdy! Any reason why the Paris Code Sprint couldn’t include the Europa Challenge criteria? I am not sure that I understand what you mean by "include the Europa Challenge criteria". Since the Europa Challenge is open to all [1], I do not see any reason why the project team or individuals participating in the code sprint cannot send in their entries for the Europa Challenge. I would encourage you (or Maria) to send the info about the Europa Challenge to the Code Sprint ML [2] (I am not subscribed to the list). You request the organizers to print the Europa Challenge brochure [3] and leave copies at the registration desk of the Code Sprint venue to increase visibility amongst the Paris Code Sprinters.

Then that code sprint would be getting *double exposure* and have a shot at the NASA Crystal Bull, http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/ That’s two finish lines for the price of one sprint! We will treat Code Sprinters as grad students or SME, no mentor required. -Patrick (650) 604-5656 (office) (650) 269-2788 (cell) From: Discuss [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Venkatesh Raghavan Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2016 3:35 PM To: OSGeo Discussions; OSGeo Board Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints Dear All, Considering OSGeo budget for 2016, I think, it could be possible to support 3 or 4 Code Sprints at similar sponsorship levels for each sprint as in the past. I would like to propose to have code spread across three or four periods across the year e.g Jan-March, April-June, July-Sept, Oct-Dec and have RFP's for code sprints just like we have for our annual conference. OSGeo Code Sprint in Paris starting from today (22 Feb., 2016), fits very well for the first quarter of 2016. I see a great lineup of projects and participants for the Paris Code Sprint [1]. Code sprints are an integral part of FOSS4G Conferences which is our largest gathering of users and developers. It will be appropriate that OSGeo Foundation supports Code Sprints at FOSS4G conferences as an official event for the July-September period.

Up to now a request-voting-fund approach has been followed without any specific plan. Since the board f2f meeting (thank you community for supporting that as I believe it was an enormous opportunity for OSGeo to speed up advances and was so fruitful) a budget has been draft and resources has been allocated. With this mail I would personally like to ask a few questions the different communities: - who is intended to present a fund request for sprint code in 2016. This will give an idea of the number of expected requests. - do you have preferences on criteria for assign resources and eventually what is your choice motivation? Thank you, Maxi
