The SWG discussed today that there would be interest in hosting a 3 days virtual code sprint for OGC API - Coverages in February 2024, tentatively the week of the 12th.

The effort would continue the good implementation momentum from Testbed 19 GDC API Technology Integration Experiments, and provide validation for the latest OGC API - Coverages candidate standard, which we hope will be in the Request for Comments period at that time.

This will be a SWG Code Sprint, organised by SWG Members, and open to the general public.

  • SWG/DWG Chair identifies a date for the code sprint. The code sprint will be held from Tuesday, February 13th to Thursday, February 15th, 2024.
  • SWG/DWG Chair identifies a mode for the code sprint, if it is to be a hybrid event. This will be a virtual-only code sprint.
  • At least 3 months before the envisioned event date, the SWG/DWG Chair submits an Event Request to the OGC Event Manager.
  • OGC Staff discuss the proposed sprint schedule and together deconflict the event from other OGC event

  • SWG/DWG Chair identifies SWG Member to serve as SWG Event Organizer. Jerome St-Louis confirmed as the SWG Event Organizer.

The OGC API - Coverages Virtual Code Sprint would have to be before 26 February to avoid clashing with the next Joint OGC ASF OSGeo Code Sprint.

@ghobona Yes this is why we tentatively suggest the week of the 12th (though this makes it less than 3 months away, can that still be ok?)

@jerstlouis I have just connected you with OGC's Event Manager via email so that the dates can be checked for calendar conflicts.

Thanks a lot @ghobona we'll start with that.

Hoping to make progress on some of the other SWG Event Organizer items as well today.

@jerstlouis I tried to add myself to the wiki page here, but I don't have write permissions on this repo. Not sure if anyone else who is not a committer here, tried to register.
