[Qgis-developer] Suggestion for GSoC project for QGIS

[Julia Wagemann]

Hi all,
my name is Julia Wagemann and I saw the call of OSGeo for Mentors for 
GSoC. I had a look to the proposed projects and I would be interested to 
be a mentor. I further have two ideas for projects and Helmut advised me 
to discuss these within the QGIS developers mailing list

My background is in Environmental Informatics and I am currently working 
at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in a project 
where we explore the opportunity to provide a more standardised and 
easier access to our data with the help of a OGC Web Coverage Service. I 
have experience with QGIS and lately, I am working a lot with Jupyter 
Notebooks.
I have two ideas for projects for students to work on during GSoC:

- Plugin for WCS2.0 in QGIS
QGIS supports by default Web Coverage Service 1.0. A project could be to 
develop a plugin for supporting Web Coverage Service 2.0 in QGIS.

- Examples of geospatial workflows in Jupyter Notebooks
I am a strong advocate of Jupyter Notebooks and one project could be, in 
alignment with the project proposed for GRASS GIS (adding functionality 
for running GRASS GIS modules in Jupyter Notebooks), to develop a set of 
used-cases to show how Jupyter Notebooks are beneficial for the 
generation of entire geospatial data analysis workflows, from data 
access to data manipulation and data visualisation. Examples could 
harness QGIS, and in the best case, open data.

What is you opinion about the suggestions and would you be interested in 
co-mentoring one of those?
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Julia
