Hello FOSS4G 2016 code sprinters,
this is a kind reminder to come join the FOSS4G 2016 code sprint in Bonn in August 2016. Why? Because it's gonna be awesome!
This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.
We are happy to have found a really great location for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue. Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.
We have already 30 registration for the code sprint. Already 10 projects registered and will come together to work on their code (GRASS GIS, QGIS, PyWPS, GIS.lab, Mapbender, MapServer, OpenLayers, EOxServer, LASzip for LAS 1.4, GDAL).
We will provide food & fun for you.
