[OSGeo-Discuss] 3.0 OpenLayers code sprint - call for sponsorships
Hello, This mail is a call for sponsorships to organize the « 3.0 OpenLayers code sprint ». This event enables European OpenLayers community and OpenLayers developers from around the world to meet. The likelihood of an OpenLayers code sprint (for version 3.0) is taking shape. It is scheduled to take place for 4-5 days during the month of March 2009 in France, in a remote and isolated part of the Alps (a quiet place to achieve better work on this major release!). The cost of the stay (travel expenses excluded) is about 750 € per person. As organizers, we want to cover all incurred expenses during the event as well as the maximum of travel expenses i.e. a budget of about 10'000 € for 6 persons. Only the time spent at the event would then be at the charge of the developers (and/or their respective organization/company). Any kind of support is welcome... A PayPal account is an easy means to carry out a sponsoring activity, even a small one, as an individual or as a company's endorsement. For a larger sponsorship, please do not hesitate to contact me or Virginie Jourdan directly – virginie.jourdan at camptocamp.com : we can suggest a communication partner plan (based on OpenLayers community's sponsoring activities). Thank you for supporting this initiative which will encourage the promotion of French and European Open Source Geoinformatics within the OSGeo.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 3.0 OpenLayers code sprint - call for sponsorships
Hi David, this event seems really a good idea. I have a couple of doubts: why not to join the OSGeo Hacking Event in Bolsena [1] in June? maybe two hacking events so close in time are too many. This year the event in Bolsena has been successful to many, afaik. Well at least to me. :-) The other problem I have is that I will go to the Spanish FOSS GIS [2] meting of Girona in mid march. ciao lorenzo [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Hacking_Event_2009 [2] http://www.sigte.udg.es/jornadassiglibre/ David JONGLEZ wrote: Hello, This mail is a call for sponsorships to organize the « 3.0 OpenLayers code sprint ».

David, It looks like this is shaping up to be quite an event! The dates on the wiki page still seem very open, but you mention mid-March. Can we be more precise with the dates that are being considered? March is already not that far away and it would help to have a tighter window for us to start pitching this to mgmt. As for the lodging, all these ski chalets sounds wonderful. The only thing I would suggest is that, given the nature of this work to be done (sounds to me like probably more debating than coding, necessarily) it will be crucial to have a big meeting space and a projector so that people can make presentations to the group as a whole. It is great to see CampToCamp stepping forward to organize this event, I think it will be a great opportunity to get some good work done. Erik ps.
