As Suchith has mentioned, GSoC is a great opportunity for students to participate in open source software development. OSGeo has been a participating organization for many years and several of our labs have had their students funded for summer through GSoC.
This is the 10th anniversary of GSoC and there is a mentor summit and a 10 year reunion
in San Jose, CA starting today. OSgeo delegates are Hamish Bowman and myself and we are bringing two students who participated this year for the reunion.

If anybody on this list managed to get selected for participation or will be there as delegate for a project outside OSGeo, please let us know (you can just send me an email) so that we can meet and organize a session for the un-coference and also let others in the FOSS community know about the geo4all initiative.

For example last year  Dr Luciene Delazari (Federal University of Parana, Brazil),  Piotr Pociask (GIS Support Sp, Warsaw) and Dr Mark Ware (University of South Wales) joined together for supervising the  Schematization Plugin for QGIS project that student Nishith Maheshwari (IIIT Hyderabad, India) carried out. Not only it will help produce a joint research paper but will now  enable more collaborative research ideas for the map generalization research community for extending this as an open schematization platform which other students in future can use to build upon. It is an excellent example of how we can build ideas for collaborative research for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs for the future. This will also help us build ideas for next year’s GSoC by having members of ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs network collaborate on other interesting ideas.

We are also planning to arrange the inaugural ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Award for Open Geospatial Science will be for the best student winning team at the NASA World Wind Europa Challenge competition.

So please let me know your thoughts/ideas before 27th Oct  and we can include this.

Best wishes,

Suchith
