[QGIS-Developer] Google summer of code project - Improving QGIS 3D

[Martin Dobias]

Hi all

I am happy to announce that there will be a summer of code project
this year dedicated to improvements in QGIS 3D. Please join me in
welcoming Belgacem Nedjima to our community! I hope this will be yet
another successful project for QGIS :-)

Peter Petrik and myself will be serving as mentors for Belgacem, but I
am sure that other developers will be happy to help him whenever
needed.

Starting today we are entering community bonding period which will
last until the end of May - during this time students are expected to
familiarize themselves with the community and the development process
within the project. Then from the beginning of June until the end of
August students work on their projects.

If everything goes well, you can expect exciting new features in QGIS
3D, such as support for textured objects, export of data from QGIS 3D
scenes, directional lights and more 3D rendering techniques! The full
proposal is here:
