Afternoon:</div><div><br></div><div>OSGeo is a Foundation, as such there are lots of projects to look at. Perhaps one of them strikes your interest?</div><div><br></div><div>If you are unsure where to start I recommend volunteering on the OSGeo Live DVD project (<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc</a>) which is a good introduction to what is available.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally OSGeo does have individual "chapters" in each region - including one in your area (<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/India" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/India</a>). I recommend having a look at their activities, and introducing yourself on their mailing list.</div>

on various set of map data. In order to create overlays, OpenMap GIS provides
the functionality to create basic set of overlays which include point, line,
polyline, polygon, splines etc. I was assigned a task to establish a
connection between OpenMap and PostgreSQL using JDBC, with the aim of storing
the overlays drawn on any particular layer of OpenMap along with its user given
unique name and attributes, which may be retrieved as and when required.</p><p style="margin:0px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px">Kindly guide me on how I can start and make my contribution. I look forward to a positive response from you.</p>
