The focus of the sprint will be standards for geospatial information, and their support in various Free and Open Source projects. OSGeo projects can register their interest in participating through the sprint wiki page: <</span><a

Even if you are not a developer, there are lots of ways to be involved in the code sprint, without actually writing code; e.g.: testing, documentation, issues. As in previous code sprints, this sprint will include a mentor stream targeted at newcomers, which includes an onboarding day with lots of introductory tutorials.</span></p>
