Hello everyone, <br>I am applying for the <b>MapServer</b> project for the <b>Google Summer of Code 2009</b> Programme.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>I am planning to contribute on the<b> SVG</b> symbols support in Mapserver.I am very much interested in this field.<br>
<br><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>I am always
fasinated by google earth. Look your self on the map excites very much. I wanted
to know how exactly all these things work. Then I came across the book GIS for
web developers. It gives every thing one need to know to start working with GIS
applications. It gives what are the formats available to represent the data,
where to download load the free data from, how this geospatial data is
stored in databases like PostGIS, what are the open source softwares available,
how to integrate them. I see more potential for growth in this area. I
would like to pursue my carear in GIS. I would like to contribute some thing to
this. Being new to this area I would like to choose KML or SVG since it does not
involve too many concepts related to GIS and should be a good start. I do not
know much about SVG I would like to consider that too.</span></font>Though i have less idea about the API's expecting for the SVG support, Iam sure i can do this project succesfully with some help.<br>
<br>I can also teach myself all the other requirements for the project during the "bonding" time(April 20 to May 15(coding begins))<br>I love the oppurtunity to work on Mapserver as part of GSoC 2009<br><br>I look forward to working with you over the summer!<br>
Thanks,regards<br>Kiran Anjaneya Varma<br>
