Hello all
The joint OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint will start in 2 weeks, with a
pre-event webinar in 2 days (Wednesday this week). This event is free
for anyone to participate, and thanks to Ordnance Survey sponsor a
little bit of funding will be available for participants who apply and
who are selected as eligible (more details later). The schedule is below:
https://github.com/opengeospatial/developer-events/wiki/2022-Joint-OGC-%E2%80%93-OSGeo-%E2%80%93-ASF-Code-Sprint
Any development activity related to OGC standards can be proposed. Some
proposals are listed below. Mentors will be available in each topic for
helping participants. If any other project are interested (e.g. Jena,
Drill, etc.), please let us know. You may reply on this geospatial
mailing list or create directly pull requests on OGC GitHub repository.
Proposal: GGXF implementation
The Gridded Geodetic data eXchange Format (GGXF) is an OGC
standardization effort for distributing datum shift grids (in
replacement of e.g. NADCON and NTv2), geoid models, and more geodetic
gridded data. A draft of the standard and a prototype in Python are
available. We propose to start implementation experiments in projects.

Proposal: GIGS implementation
The Geospatial Integrity of Geoscience Software (GIGS) is an IOGP effort
for providing tests for coordinate operations. IOGP is the organization
maintaining the widely-used EPSG geodetic database. GIGS tests are
available as dataset (CSV files), web service and executable JUnit
tests. The JUnit tests can be executed on any GeoAPI 3.0
implementations. It includes at this time Apache SIS, PROJ-JNI, and UCAR
library through GeoAPI wrappers. For more details, see:
https://github.com/opengeospatial/developer-events/tree/master/2022/Joint-OGC-OSGeo-ASF-Code-Sprint%202022/ideas/GIGS
Proposal: Apache SIS developments
Development ideas for Apache SIS (Spatial Information System) project
includes GGXF implementation, Visual components for Apache SIS, SQL
frontend with Calcite for SIS data stores, revamp the ShapeFile reader.

Mentoring
Projects can propose tutorials for beginners. On the mentor stream,
developers will have the opportunity to give their first steps using the
standards and projects, and hopefully this will build an engagement
which will continue past the code sprint. More information are there:
