I worked with geographical information systems before (ArcGIS) during one of the optional courses at my school. During the course I questioned the use of ArcGIS instead of the open source alternative QGIS and the answer was that ArcGIS have better 3D capabilities, so I would like to extend 3D features in QGIS so that I can hopefully convince the teacher to switch to QGIS.</p><p class=MsoNormal>For my technical knowledge, I am proficient at C++ and python, I use QT a lot and have worked previously on 3D graphics using OpenGL and tried to implement my own crude graphics engine as a hobby project. Also, I participate in competitive programming regularly and have good problem solving skills.</p><p class=MsoNormal>I would be very happy to contribute to this open source project in GSoC and beyond.</p><p class=MsoNormal>I want to discuss the features in demand for the project and issues that need to be resolved with the potential mentors for this project to make a good proposal for GSoC.</p><p class=MsoNormal>My GitHub profile : <a href="https://github.com/NEDJIMAbelgacem">https://github.com/NEDJIMAbelgacem</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for this great opportunity, I hope I hear from you soon.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,</p><p class=MsoNormal>Nedjima</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
