Hi. Is there an OpenLayers code sprint planned or being planned? I haven't checked the wiki yet. Looking forward to meeting you all at the conference. Eric

There will be many of us there for the week, > hope to see you > too! > Erik > > Free and Open Source Geospatial Conference 2008 (FOSS4G2008) > > FOSS4G2008 will be taking place this year in September / October this > year in South Africa. FOSS4G is a an annual gathering place for Free > and Open Source projects with a geospatial leaning. The conference > venue is the Cape Town International Conference Center (CTICC) in the > Foreshore area of Cape Town - the beautiful 'mother city' of South > Africa. > > Demo Sessions: > ======================= > > We will be holding a demo theatre during tea breaks and lunch times. > Demos are a great way to show off your work to decision makers, GIS > professionals and fellow code crunchers. The demos will be restricted > to 10 minutes each (including questions and setup time) so they need > to be brief and to the point. If you would like to demo your project, > something you have achieved with FOSS geospatial, or anything else > relevant to a geospatial practitioner audience, you can register by > following the instructions provided on the demo wiki page here: > > http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_Demos > > > Lightning Talks: > ======================= > > During the plenary session on Monday 29 July, there will be eight > lightning talks of 5 minutes each. Time limits will be strictly > adhered to and we are looking for the most entertaining, thought > provoking and informative speeches possible. The speeches will be > presented to the entire conference. If you are interested in making a > lightning speech, or know of any good candidates to give such a > speech, please visit the lightning talks wiki page to register your > interest here: > > http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_LightningTalks > > > Code Sprint: > ======================= > > We will be holding an all day code sprint on Saturday 4 October - the > day following the end of the main conference activities. Given that > most FOSS projects are conducted as virtual collaborations over the > internet, the code sprint is a rare opportunity for you to get > together in person with other developers in your project. > > The code sprint is also a great opportunity for those who are > interested in getting involved in a project to go and meet the > developers face to face and get some help in getting started with > development. If you are not a developer, but interested in other > aspects of project development, (documentation, creating demonstrator > implementations of software etc.) the code sprint is an equally good > opportunity to collaborate. > > We will provide a venue, lunch and refreshments, internet connection > and flip charts. If you have other special requirements let us know > and we will see what we can do. > > In order to provide the very best experience for you it would be > helpful to get an idea of how many people are likely to attend. We > have created a Wiki page at: > > http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint > > On this page you can create a section for your project and list the > people planning to attend. The page also provides a space to help you > organise your code sprint day by writing up the goals and preparation > work needed for your sprint. > > > Contact Info: > ======================= > > > The code sprint, lightning talks & demo session organiser is Tim > Sutton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - if you have any questions or special > requirements, please don't hesitate to ask. If you haven't already > registered for the conference, we advise doing so as soon as possible > to secure your place.
