[OSGeo-Discuss] Mobile JavaScript Code Sprint, Lausanne, Switzerland, Feb 21 to Feb 25 2011

[Claude Philipona]

Hi,

We are glad to announce a one week code sprint focusing on Mobile
JavaScript that will take place in Lausanne - EPFL - Switzerland
(http://map.geo.admin.ch/?crosshair=bowl&zoom=6&X=152455&Y=533175) on
Monday-Friday February 21-25, 2011.

The code sprint focus will be the Mobile JavaScript development. The
main goal is to work on OpenLayers and extend its capabilities to
support mobile devices. The second goal is to evaluate Mobile
JavaScript libraries, like Sencha Touch or JQuery Mobile and begin
creating bridges to these libraries, similar to the way that GeoExt
connects OpenLayers and Ext.

The content of the code sprint will be openly discussed on the
OpenLayers community mailing lists, and we are sure that the work
started in February in Europe will continue at the Montreal code
sprint in March.

The following developers have already confirmed their attendance:
Christopher Schmidt, Tim Schaub, Eric Lemoine, Andreas Hocevar,
Frédéric Junod, Bart van den Eijnden, Bruno Binet and Pierre Giraud.
It would be a pleasure to welcome other developers or users willing to
support this effort in the Mobile development, so don't hesitate to
contact the organizers for further information.

The code sprint is sponsored by the following administrations,
universities and companies: Canton of Zürich, Canton of Neuchâtel,
City of Uster, City of Vevey, Geoportail Luxembourg, EPFL, Swisstopo,
OpenGeo, Nokia and Camptocamp.

The code sprint is organized by Camptocamp and Swisstopo.

We look forward to a great code sprint and don't forget that
Switzerland is a very nice place to ski! A ski event will probably be
organized before or after the code sprint. And finally, we also thank
all the sponsors for their support !
