Looking forward to seeing some of you in person in London (and hopefully many of you remotely on IRC) starting tomorrow for the first ever Mapnik code sprint.
We've got a loose agenda for Friday, but highlights of plans tomorrow include Steve Chilton discussing ideas he has around advanced cartography features for OSM and Artem discussing a bit about architecture and the origins of Mapnik. I hope these conversations will lead into unplanned discussions and brainstorming about where Mapnik is going and what fun things we'd all like to be doing with the toolkit in the future - The goal being to set us up to both squash bugs over the next two days and also get priorities sorted for development over the next several months. I know we have some folks not arriving till Saturday (Ivan I think), or only able to visit on Sunday (Tom Hughes, Andy Allen, yes?), so just please list yourself and the days you will attend on the wiki and we'll get excited to see you when possible. http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/MapnikCodeSprint/MCS01 My thanks go out to Richard Weait who masterminded and planned this whole event - thank you Richard! And to Nick Black and Cloudmade for hosting us in London, and Mike Migurski for opening Stamen's doors in San Francisco. Sadly Richard could not join us in London, but I look forward to many more events like this one where he will hopefully preside. Cheers, Dane _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
