<div dir="ltr"><div>OSGeo Developers,</div><div><br></div><div>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><br></div><div>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/">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><br></div><div>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><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br>Robert</div><div><br></div><div>
