<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Alexei,<div><br></div><div>We have not yet fully worked out the details but basically my idea is to run a one day event with a few projects to choose from. So far we have:</div><div>- GIFramework Maps (<a href="https://github.com/Dorset-Council-UK/GIFramework-Maps">GitHub - Dorset-Council-UK/GIFramework-Maps: A .NET based web map built with OpenLayers and Bootstrap</a>)</div><div>- Terra Draw (<a href="https://github.com/JamesLMilner/terra-draw">GitHub - JamesLMilner/terra-draw: A library for drawing on maps that supports Mapbox, MapLibre, Google Maps, OpenLayers and Leaflet out the box</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>We are hoping that those running sprints will publish the goals for the day prior to the event but I think the focus of the event itself will be on growing the open communities. With that in mind we are hoping that delegates will leave the event more confident in how to develop on the open source projects at the event. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm hoping that we will be able to run it so you can try both projects or focus on one but I haven't had a chance to agree the format yet. I've got some ideas on how to achieve that goal but more details will be released nearer the event.</div><div><br></div><div>I attended the code sprint back at FOSS4G Nottingham and it was an amazing learning opportunity but I've not managed to join another in the UK since as I've not been able to travel to another FOSS4G and so I'm hoping this event will provide a great opportunity to help grow the UK open development communities by supporting new and upcoming open projects as well as established ones. </div><div><br></div><div>Is that helpful? </div><div>Paul </div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 15 Jan 2024 at 20:51, Alexei Schwab via UK <<a href="mailto:uk@lists.osgeo.org">uk@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg8416649698255287204"><u></u><div><div>Hi Paul,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Could you share some info about the purpose/format of the event?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Alexei</div><div><br></div><div>On Mon, 15 Jan 2024, at 13:15, Paul Wittle via UK wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="m_8416649698255287204qt"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello everyone,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm excited to say that we are now really starting to get going on organising a UK code sprint for 2024! This is really exciting news for any of us that want to get more involved with the open source applications we love and use here in the UK. <br></div><div><br></div><div>To help us with the planning of the event we have pencilled in for Tuesday the 30th of July at the Weymouth Pavilion, Dorset!<br></div><div><br></div><div>We would be grateful if you could fill in the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5lENX6KpoRwv3sYrSYDVQCr-ruCSPHvhMJ8ChSApdiQ-CmA/viewform?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Google Form</a> to help us understand how many people want to come. We will close this poll at the end of the week because we need to firm up the estimates with the venue and book it in by the end of the month. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We are making a special effort to ensure that this event is going to be fun as well as useful and informative so we have deliberately picked a beautiful venue with view over Weymouth beach in the summer so that people can enjoy amazing Dorset coastline as they code. We also hope this will make it more accessible to university students by ensuring it falls in the holiday period and hopefully will not clash with academic events.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We are really excited to be running this new event for 2024 for please let us know if you would like to join us. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>Paul Wittle<br></div></div></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>UK mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:UK@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">UK@lists.osgeo.org</a><br></div><div><a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/uk" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/uk</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
