Re: [SoC] OSgeo GSoC - Introduction

Carol:

I would be interested in mentoring either a project related to java support for OSM data or KML, if you decide to go that way. 

If recommend packaging low level code as Geotools module and then creating a Udig plug-in if you have time.

I would want to run this by the geotools folks, as I'm not a cite geotools programmer.

Hello,

 

My name is Carol
Hansen, a Computer Science student in Chicago,
finishing up my senior year. I will be applying for Google Summer of Code
2012, and I was so excited to see OSGeo as one of the participating
organizations. Primarily, I am interested in applying my degree to GIS. As far
as my skills and background, I am familiar with Java (currently taking a
server-side course and coding Java Servlets and JSPs), Ecplise and RAD, HTML/CSS,
SQL, tiny bit of Python (going over basic scripting in my web-GIS course
this semester), ArcGIS, GRASS, and Google Earth. 

 

There are a
number of projects I am interested in contributing to, particularly with 

QuantumGIS and
uDIG, but I am having difficulty deciphering which ones I am best suited
for based on my background. I admit some of the Project suggestions went a
little over my head, but they involve technologies I would love to become
familiar with. 

 

Here are a few
of the projects I am interested in...Any suggestions?

 

QGIS Projects:

QGIS for
mobile phone devicesQGIS tool for
vector data mergingScripting:
Make QGIS scriptable, in order to be able to do reperitive tasks with a
simple scripting language. Qt includes a built in scripting interface
based on ECMA standards for making applications scriptable.Database
Manager: Integrate PostGIS Manager, SpatiaLite Manager, RtSqlLayer and
other related plugins to create a multi-db manager easily expandable to
manage other spatial DBs.







 

 

uDIG Projects:

Create an OSM
editor in uDig that would be the first full GIS based editor (ie. not just
a graph editor with background maps)Support
powerful OSM data mining capabilities in uDig and Geotools (perform queries on
open street map not currently possible in existing OSM tools, but
relatively easy with Neo4j)Support full
set of geospatial operations as in PostGIS Create a gis
general purpose database plugin for uDig with hibernate (also spatial).
The plugin would expose extension points to register spatially and
nonspatially enabled classes. With such a plugin one would be able to rely
on the neo4j database support easily from any udig plugin without having
to wonder what database is backing the persistence. Keeping the interfaces
clear, it would be fairly easy to allow for seamless connection to neo4j as to postgis.KML Reader and
Writer









 




What would be
the next steps to get involved and contribute?

 

Thank you!

Carol Hansen
