[OSGeo-Discuss] how did the Paris code sprint go

[Jody Garnett]

I second the idea of build boxes being very important to the well being of
projects. I was not aware that OSGeo had been running one, or that it had
been taken away.

I assume you have looked at solutions like Travis which are "free" to open
source (in exchange for the advertising they get by being exposed to your
developer and community).

Boundless, CSIRO, and GeoSolutions provided build boxes for GeoServer
(testing different integration functionality important to their business).
They are invaluable to keeping quality up.

Sandro we are setting up priorities for the foundation, I really encourage
you to take part and submit a PostGIS build box as an idea. I know the real
stop gap is volunteer time, I would hope such a useful idea would attract
people.
