Topics are not reserved on a first come first serve basis. Any student can apply for any topic. During the selection phase a decision is then made based on the applications.

AFAIK, you can even apply for two different topics.

At this stage you should spend time getting familiar with GRASS GIS and its build environment. And discuss the two ideas more in detail here on the list to get a better feeling of what they're about.
