The GRASS GIS team will participate in the Portland Code Sprint 2014 at FOSS4G 2014 in US. The sprint will be held the day after the main conference (Saturday, September 13th 2014).
Purpose
This Portland FOSS4G Code Sprint 2014 is a great occasion for folks to support the development by actively contributing to the source code, manuals or likewise. This code sprint is targeting members of OSGeo software projects.
For this meeting, we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS project and the interfaces to QGIS, GDAL, PostGIS, R statistics, Sextante, gvSIG, OGC Services (esp. WPS) and more. This includes developers, documenters, bug reporters, translators and others. We'll try to make a major step forward towards a stable GRASS GIS 7 release.
Sponsors
We welcome inkind as well as direct financial contributions to help reducing travelling and accommodation expenses for GRASS developers with far arrival If you are interested to sponsor the GRASS Community Sprint, please read about
- sponsoring the GRASS project at http://grass.osgeo.org/donations
Note that it is also possible to buy a round of beer for the developers with a quick click using the PayPal "Buy [pizza/beer/...] Now" button
For any questions, please contact Markus Neteler <neteler at osgeo.org>. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to the GRASS GIS project.
This GRASS GIS Community Sprint is a great occasion for you to support the development of GRASS. With your contribution you'll enable more developers to meet. The community sprint is an important opportunity for the GRASS developers to discuss and collaboratively resolve bugs, plan the direction for the project and work on new features. Please see below for the more detailed agenda. The developers and contributors are donating their valuable time, so it would be great if in-kind funding can be made available from within the community to cover out-of-pocket expenses. All of the work that takes place at the community sprint will be directly contributed back into the GRASS project to the benefit of everyone who uses it.
The Portland event is especially interesting since important OSGeo projects come together!
Thanks to our sponsors
We are greatful to the organizers of FOSS4G Portland and to the Eliot Center for hosting us!

Participation
In person
Please fill the related table on the wiki page of the sprint.
Via IRC chat or hangout
IRC
- #grass on Freenode
For details, see IRC
Hangout/Videobridge
There is the option to use Google+ Hangout, it is technically limited to 10 people and may require everyone to have G+ social media accounts to participate. More Information on G+ hangout.
Similarly multi-video conference calls can be done with Skype if the conference call initiator is a paid-up commercial Skype customer.
The FOSS Jitsi VoIP, IM, and video conferencing software produces a trivial to set up VideoBridge server software to the same. New: https://meet.jit.si -- zero-conf free no-accounts needed video conferencing; chat, etherpad, and prezi built in. (needs recent Opera or Chrome/Chromium with WebRTC support)
Further discussion on the pros and cons of these can be found on the Talk side of this wiki page.
Please add yourself here below (please add also your gmail account for G+ hangout):
- ...
Individual Preparation
- Bring your own computer
- Bring power connector adapter if needed (USA (Type A) (Type B))
- Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working GRASS development environment if possible.
Broadcast & Video
Perhas during the event :)

FAQ
- How was it last time?
- Very nice, see GRASS Community Sprint Vienna 2014!
- Is the GRASS Community Sprint just a coding event?
- It is mainly a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in the GRASS project and/or are committed to improving the GRASS project.
- On demand we can do some presentations of current working GRASS implementation and new upcoming features to spread the idea of Open Source GIS software
- Is the GRASS Community Sprint for developers only?
- No: anybody can help, with testing, checking out bugs and fixes, documentation and more.
- Where can I get help and more information about the community sprint?
- Contact Markus Neteler, ... (add)
