I'd definitely be interested.

I was thinking about hosting a code or doc sprint for OpenJUMP in the
spring. My main motive was setting aside some time to code, which I have
done a lot of lately. My goal was to work with other OpenJUMP users around
the world through web communication and coding tools.

I was wondering if there would be any interest in organizing a chapter event
around the code sprint. It doesn't have to focus solely on OpenJUMP. (I
realize there aren't many of you that use OpenJUMP. We Java coders are a
rare breed.) We could also work on other projects that are of interest to
chapter members. I know Alex likes QGIS and Brian tinkers with PostGIS.

I'm certainly willing to put together a simple list of OpenJUMP coding tasks
for the code sprint if people want to come to the event looking for
something to do. I'm also willing to teach a morning workshop on Java coding
and the OpenJUMP API. (If people aren't interested in OpenJUMP I can talk
about my GPX module in GeoTools or my add-on code for JTS.) If we plan the
sprint for sometime in May, I can provide refreshments. We could even do a
barbeque at lunch. I know people don't like to come to Stockton, but I'm
willing to host at my home.
I'm willing to move to another location if someone is gracious enough to
host the event.

The purpose of this e-mail is to stick my toe in the water and see how many
people might be interested.

If there is strong interest, I'm we would do a Friday of instruction and a
Saturday of coding.

Either way, I'll do something in the spring. I'm simply looking at it as an
opportunity to get together as a chapter.

Let me know what you guys think.

Landon

Chapter members:

I haven't posted anything to the web yet, but the Central California Valley
Geospatial Professionals Group is going to have its second meeting Spring
Meeting on Friday, March 16th, from 11 to 1. Lunch will be provided. The
meetings for the group are held at the SSJID office in Ripon.

Bruce Joffe is going to be our main speaker. He is going to talk about
strategies for licensing of public geospatial data. I'm looking for a second
speaker. Please let me know if you are interested in speaking at the
meeting. If you can't speak, I hope you will be able to attend.
The meeting is attended by the GIS staff of several local government
agencies, and is a good opportunity to talk with prospective clients if you
are a GIS consultant. I haven't had the same success as getting my group off
the ground as Ragi, so let me know if you have suggestions on how to keep
things moving forward.

Before the March meeting I hope to coordinate the formation of Utility,
Public Land Survey System, and Flood Hazard Management working groups. The
groups will focus on standards for the exchange of GIS between public
agencies, other data sharing arrangements, and the application of GIS to
solve problems of the local communities in the working group focus area.
Please let me know if you are interested in taking participating in one of
the working groups.

Thanks.

Landon
