[Board] geoserver code sprint

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jody,

I think it will be hard for everyone to follow the new OSGeo board's 
rule of not adding any topics to the board meeting 7 days or less before 
the meeting (as I see you have added one).  I was thinking of that 
today, before I saw your message (that it will be hard to not add more 
items).  Maybe now you will see what I was saying during that 
discussion, that important topics always come up in the few days before 
the meeting (as you've noted here).  I have no problem with another 
item, however now maybe you could listen to my earlier advice.

Regarding code sprint guidelines, the OSGeo Board can be approached for 
funding assistance, and there actually are good guidelines and steps for 
that process: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines

I would note that I am very open to supporting single-project code 
sprints like this, thanks for championing this for GeoServer.

Another resource for you is OSGeo's code sprint mailing list, where many 
past code sprint organizers live: subscribe at
