Tell us about you in 30 seconds or less!

🌐 (5 minutes) Lightning demo¶

What’s new? Show & tell. Post on Zulip to request a show & tell slot; by default, QuantStack will demo awesome JupyterGIS progress each meeting!

💡 (5 minutes) What will we hack on?¶

• What do you want to work on today?

  • For ideas, check out the hackathon and good first issue labels on the JupyterGIS project!

• Add your ideas to the “ideas” list below.

• Add your favorite emoji or a + next to ideas you’re excited about.

  • Press the colon (:) key on your keyboard or navigate to “Insert > Emoji” in the menu bar to open the emoji browser.

Ideas¶

• More robustly defining the symbology schemas and generating those forms from the schemas (geojupyter/jupytergis#754)

• Support vector layer sub-types (polygon, line, point)

🪄 (all the minutes) Hack together!¶

Form teams from the ideas generated in the step above!

Breakout rooms¶

None today, all together!

💬 (10 minutes) Share out¶

Think about: What exciting things did you accomplish? What loose ends remain? Big questions? Big ideas?

Please write for people who don’t have full context; link to related issues and documentation!

• Separate the RJSF schema pre-processing (creating forms.json) into a separate NPM script

  • “forms.json is legacy code” -- from before we had a registry of json schemas. Now that we have a registry, we could get rid of it! Consider generating the schema registry from the source files, dereferencing on the fly if needed.

  • Matt will document this :)

• Vector sub-types: When adding a layer that has multiple types, create a group of layers instead of displaying a QGIS-ish dialog allowing the user to select from the available types. (Maybe we implement that later!)
