Hello all
There is about two weeks left before the joint OGC-ASF-OSGeo code sprint
in Switzerland [1]. The main sprint goals are to support the development
of open standards for geospatial information and to support the
development of free and open source software which implements those
standards. Registration is free and still possible until April 18th.
Developers who are new to OGC standards, OSGeo or ASF projects are
welcome as well.
OGC is still looking for mentors for providing guidance to developers
that are new to OGC standards or to your project. A mentor can provide
tutorial about how to get some practical results with a project using
OGC standards. A mentor can also help new developers to contribute to
your project, for example with tests or documentation. More details with
mentoring examples are available at [2]. The mentor does not need to be
physically present at the code sprint.
The section about Apache projects is currently a bit short [3]. It
currently contains:
* Apache SIS
* Apache Baremaps
* Apache Superset
If a project would like to be added to this list, please edit the
above-cited page (it is a wiki). In previous years (this is the third
code sprint edition), I think that we had Apache Jena among other
projects. Mentoring can be done remotely via "Discord" channels.
Sections of [3] where a project could be added are:
* Which Apache projects are going to participate?
* Project and Working Group Pitches
* Mentor streams
Thanks in advance to anyone who may volunteer!

P.S.: this email has been sent to Apache projects listed in the
Geospatial category [4]. I noticed that Sedona are Baremaps are not
listed there. If you would like to be listed, you can add a <category>
tag in your DOAP.RDF file, for example like [5].
