GeoExt 2 Code SprintThis week is an important week in the history of
GeoExt: Developers from Austria, Canada, France, Germany, The
Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States have gathered in Bonn
(Germany) for a code sprint to work on GeoExt Version 2, which will be
based Sencha's Ext JS 4 framework.

The sprint is a joint effort of terrestris, Mapgears, Camptocamp and
OpenGeo, and is accompanied by developers from Occam Labs and m-click.

Other than with many code sprints where only the sprint venue and food
are covered by sponsors, the following sponsors generously provided
enough funds to cover travel, accommodation and a significant share of
the development costs:



- University of Bern, Centre for Development and Environment
- Swisstopo
- David Bitner, Metropolitan Airports Commission
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
- Jacob Westfall
- SYNCADD
- Mettenmeier GmbH Utility Solutions
- FOSSGIS e.V.
- Felix Reichert und Partner
- landplan Büro für Landschaftsgestaltung
Day 1 - Getting Started14 developers participated today, one of them
remotely via IRC. The goal was to get up to speed with Ext JS 4, and to
port some of the existing examples to the new GeoExt 2 code and GeoExt
4.
