[udig-devel] Re: [Geotools-devel] An example of code sprint - crash the party

[Chris Holmes]

If possible I'd really push for at least three to four days for 
sprinting.  The non-geo half of TOPP has lots of sprinting experience, 
indeed they're off to a sprint next week.  They say one day can be 
successful, but you need to have a really good idea of what you're doing 
beforehand, and to be pretty experienced with sprints.  They've done up 
to 8 days, so 3-4 sounds like a good amount to get started with.

I think it could make good sense to have geotools/geoserver/udig all 
sprinting in the same place.  Have a few different goals, with different 
groups of people focused on them, but easily be able to grab people from 
other groups.

I'm planning on having all of TOPP out at the conference, and can 
definitely have us all come early or stick around after to work away. 
If there's a good space out there we could all get that would be great.
