I am glad to announce the OSGeo Montreal Code Sprint 2011 that will take place (in Montreal) on Tuesday-Friday March 15-18, 2011.
All the details are available or will be added to the wiki at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Montreal_Code_Sprint_2011 This is the 3rd edition of this North American code sprint, it was held in Toronto in 2009, NYC in 2010, and will be in Montreal in 2011. The theme for this year is "The Rendez-vous of the Tribes" ... sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all tribes (C, Java, JavaScript, etc.) to join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger. The sprint is open to all OSGeo project contributors willing to get their hands dirty working for the advancement of their OSGeo projects. It is not limited to developers: power users can also contribute to documentation (new docs or translations), in testing new features and helping test/reproduce bugs in various environments. If you plan to participate then please add your name to the wiki page to help us with planning, and join the discussion list to get the latest updates at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint Finally, like in previous years, we will be seeking sponsors (750$ each) to help support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. If you are interested in being a sponsor then please contact me off-list. Thank you to our first two sponsors: LizardTech (http://www.lizardtech.com/) and Azavea (http://www.azavea.com/), and to the "Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal" (CMM) for hosting us!
