<div dir="ltr">OSGeo Folks,<div><div><br></div><div>I had announced yesterday that the code sprint would be held Mar 2 - 6, based on the previously published Doodle poll. However, some folks noted that the FOSS4G-NA conference is now scheduled for the following week (Mar 9 - 13).</div><div><br></div><div>For some people, this might be an opportunity to make a single, longer trip to the US and reduce travel time and costs. For others, this may be a hardship to be away from family or work for an extended period. </div><div><br></div><div>As a result, I'm going to re-open the poll for potential Code Sprint dates. If you've already voted, you may want to consider revising your response. If you haven't already voted, now is the time to get your opinion registered. I'll keep this open until Fri, Sept 26.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Robert<div class="gmail_extra"><div></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><span></span><span></span><br>------------------<br>Robert Cheetham<div><br><div>Azavea <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse"> | 340 N 12th St, Ste 402, Philadelphia, PA</span><br><a href="mailto:cheetham@azavea.com" target="_blank">cheetham@azavea.com</a><span> | T <span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice">215.701.7713</span></span></span></span><span> | F <span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice">215.925.2663</span></span></span></span></span><br>Web <a href="http://www.azavea.com/" target="_blank">azavea.com</a><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse"> | Blog <a href="http://azavea.com/blogs" style="color:rgb(28,81,168)" target="_blank">azavea.com/blogs</a> | <span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:arial;font-size:small">Twitter</span> <a href="http://goog_858212415" target="_blank">@</a></span><a href="http://twitter.com/rcheetham" target="_blank">rcheetham</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/azavea" target="_blank">@azavea</a></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#073763"><i>Azavea is a <a href="http://www.bcorporation.net/what-are-b-corps" target="_blank">B Corporation</a> - we apply geospatial technology for civic and social impact</i></font></div><div><font color="#073763"><i>while advancing the state-of-the-art through research. <a href="http://jobs.azavea.com/" target="_blank">Join us</a>.</i></font><br><br></div></div></div></div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">At this year's code sprint in Vienna, Azavea was asked to consider reviving our proposal to host a code sprint in Philadelphia. We've done some research on venues and have a couple of possibilities. I've revised our 2014 proposal and now have a 2015 proposal page up at </div>

</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">While Azavea could potentially host a smaller sprint (up to 40) in our office, we'd like to anticipate the kind of crowd that attended this year's code sprint in Vienna (70 - 80)</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I would also like to propose that we consider expanding the scope by inviting both OSGeo and the Eclipse Foundation's <a href="http://www.locationtech.org/" target="_blank">LocationTech</a> projects (JTS, uDig, GeoTrellis, GeoMesa, Geogig, GeoJini, etc.). There are several developers that work on both OSGeo and LocationTech projects, and we think this would be an opportunity for people to work together. That said, this would also likely require a larger venue and there are likely other considerations before pursuing this idea.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm interested in your feedback. I'd like to potentially book a block of hotel rooms as well as settle on some dates.</div>
