What activities or tasks do you plan to work on during the code sprint?
Post your ideas as comments in this GitHub Issue.
In this section, projects and working groups have the chance to do a five minute pitch to introduce themselves. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to the project/working group and invite others to collaborate on specific tasks during the code sprint. If you are interested in doing a pitch, please record a short video (5 mins) and link it below. We would recommend adding your pitch before the pre-event webinar, on the March 13 at 14 UTC. We will refer to the pitches during the webinar.

If you are coming to an OGC Code Sprint for the first time, you may be a little lost and confused about what you should do when you get there. That is why we will have an onboarding day, to help you get started in the OGC Community. In the discord server, you will find a section of called "mentoring", which contains multiple channels. On day 1 of the code sprint, we will feature a stream of tutorials, which will take place at the V:👥 [#Mentor Room].
On the first day of the code sprint, there will be a mentor stream onboarding session at the V:🎙 Mentor Room.
25th of March, 10:10 - 10:30 UTC - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=25&month=3&year=2025&p1=224&p2=179&p3=16&p4=44&p5=240&p6=136&p7=133&iv=0
If you would like to present a hands-on, entry level, tutorial, just add an entry bellow, following the same format. Please choose a time slot on day 1 (the 25th of March), that does not conflict with any of the scheduled events.
