Code Sprint - Paris

Code Sprint

A European PostGIS code sprint will be organized in Paris next 15th and 16th of May.

The main aim is mainly to begin thinking about next releases... (and to give to Paul an opportunity to keep thinking about PostGIS even during holidays )

PostGIS (and related) devs who will be there:

• Paul Ramsey (PostGIS)
• Sandro Santilli (PostGIS)
• Mark Cave Ayland (PostGIS)
• Mateusz Loskot (GGL)
• Sébastien Loriot (CGAL)
• Olivier Courtin (PostGIS)

(If you are concerned and interested, just subscribe quickly)

Beginning at 10:00 AM on 15 May

Barcamp

On May 15th in the evening (6:00 PM) an event will be organized (still in Paris) to allow some happy few PostGIS (power) users to exchange with the PostGIS dev guys.

The goal is to enlarge the vision to broader future axes, through discussions and/or small working groups.

So if you are already involved in the PostGIS project (or willing to), want to exchange with the dev team, and/or meet some other PostGIS afficionados at a cool event, just come ! (beers included)

For practical reasons we have to limit the amount of participants to 15. First registered, first served.

(if you want additional information, or want don't have osgeo id to registered on this Wiki, send a mail to <postgis@…>)
