Joint OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint announcement

[Martin Desruisseaux <ma...@geomatys.com>]

Hello all

The Joint OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint has been officially announced:

    https://www.ogc.org/pressroom/pressreleases/4659

The code sprint will be from March 8 to 10 (registration closes on March 
1st), is free and is open to anyone (even if not active members or 
contributors of OGC, OSGeo or ASF). The goal of the Code Sprint is to 
advance support of open geospatial standards within the developer 
community, while also advancing the development of the standards 
themselves. There will be an opportunity for joint discussion with other 
participants, as well as daily briefings from each project and working 
group.

On the ASF side, we had last year participation from Apache ActiveMQ, 
Jena and SIS. For Apache SIS, I would focus on making the library more 
accessible with bridge to Python language and more visual components. 
Some other proposals are updating the Geospatial Integrity for 
Geoscience Software (GIGS) tests and implementing the Gridded Geodetic 
data eXchange Format (GGXF).

The following GitHub issue can be used for listing ideas. Please feel 
free to add your own. More detailed pages for those ideas will come in a 
few weeks.

Mentors will be available for helping.
