[GRASS-dev] GRASS GIS and GSoC

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Zeke,

I cannot offer to mentor your project, but I could make some shell scripts available for you, that turn publicly available data into GRASS Locations and mapsets.
It is not really much, but depending on the approach you choose they might be a helpful startingpoint.

BTW. comparable tools to r.modis for other sensors would be awesome too!!!

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello All,

My name is Zeke Krautwurst and I am interested in participating in GSoC this summer through GRASS GIS. I have been in contact with developers Vashek Petras and Anna Petrasova at NCSU.  Vashek recommended that I reach out to the broader dev community as well, potentially to find a lead mentor.

As part of my Master of Geospatial Information Science and Technology coursework at NCSU, I am working on a few projects using Python, PostgreSQL, and database development that I think will apply to the needs of the GRASS GIS Locations created from public data<https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017#GRASSGISLocationscreatedfrompublicdata> project.

Through April, I will be creating a GUI and Python scripts to convert multiple formats of publicly available microbiome data into a standardized geospatial format. I also hope to create a normalized PostgreSQL database that accommodates the scripts, the microbiome data, and associated metadata which could all be deployed through a web-based framework.

I want to use GRASS GIS for both of those assignments in place of ArcMap and I think that completing those projects will give me the experience I need to be useful to the GRASS GIS project over the summer. Additionally, I am looking to develop and complete my MGIST capstone project this coming Fall and I would be happy to continue this work through graduation in Dec 2017.

Thanks for your time and please let me know if anyone has any feedback or advice!

Best,

Zeke
