Venka,
Howdy! Any reason why the Paris Code Sprint couldn’t include the Europa
Challenge criteria?
I am not sure that I understand what you mean by "include the Europa
Challenge criteria".
Since the Europa Challenge is open to all [1], I do not see any reason
why the project
team or individuals participating in the code sprint cannot send in
their entries for
the Europa Challenge.
I would encourage you (or Maria) to send the info about the Europa
Challenge to the
Code Sprint ML [2] (I am not subscribed to the list). You request the
organizers to
print the Europa Challenge brochure [3] and leave copies at the registration
desk of the Code Sprint venue to increase visibility amongst the Paris Code
Sprinters.

They would simply use the Europa Challenge criteria submit their results there
in addition to the Paris Code Sprint!
Then that code sprint would be getting *double exposure* and have a shot at the
NASA Crystal Bull, http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/
That’s two finish lines for the price of one sprint!
We will treat Code Sprinters as grad students or SME, no mentor required.

Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints
Dear All,
Considering OSGeo budget for 2016, I think, it could be
possible to support 3 or 4 Code Sprints at similar
sponsorship levels for each sprint as in the past.
I would like to propose to have code spread across three or four
periods across the year e.g Jan-March, April-June, July-Sept, Oct-Dec
and have RFP's for code sprints just like we have for our annual
conference.
OSGeo Code Sprint in Paris starting from today (22 Feb., 2016),
fits very well for the first quarter of 2016. I see a great lineup
of projects and participants for the Paris Code Sprint [1].
Code sprints are an integral part of FOSS4G Conferences which is our
largest gathering of users and developers. It will be appropriate that
OSGeo Foundation supports Code Sprints at FOSS4G conferences as
an official event for the July-September period.

Dear All,
this is to acknowledge that there is a topic on discussion within the board
directors on assigning funds to sprint code requests.
Up to now a request-voting-fund approach has been followed without any
specific plan.
Since the board f2f meeting (thank you community for supporting that as i
believe it was an enormous opportunity for OSGeo to speed up advances and
was so fruitful) a budget has been draft and resources has been allocated.
With this mail I would personally like to ask a few questions the different
communities:
- who is intended to present a fund request for sprint code in 2016. This
will give an idea of the number of expected requests.
- do you have preferences on criteria for assign resources and eventually
what is your choice motivation?
Thank you,
Maxi
