<div dir="ltr"><div>Sprinters,</div><div><br></div>Thank-you for your input on the dates for the next OSGeo Code Sprint. I've closed the poll and it now looks like the best dates will be Feb 2 - 6 or Feb 9 - 13. I'm going to work on looking for hotel blocks and venue reservations based on those two possibilities and will be back in touch as soon as we've decided on the best fit.<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br>Robert</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><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/" 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><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>
