<span style="display:inline">My project for GSoC 2021 is "A new render type: On-the-fly Raster Calculator for QGIS" as you can see in [4]. The main aim of the project come out after some community feedback and some calls with mentors, so during this summer
I will work on the implementation of a new <b style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:400">virtual raster data provider that would be useful to compute some raster algebra operation on a raster file without the need to take disk space (because
it should avoid the creation of derived files) and with the possibility to see the results of the computation on the fly on the screen.</span></b> </span></div>
