[SoC] General introduction - Proposal of two additional projects for GSoC

[Julia Wagemann]

Hi all,
as suggested at the OSGeo GSoC, I herewith would like to introduce 
myself. My name is Julia Wagemann 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 (WCS). I have 
experience with GRASS GIS, QGIS and lately, I am working a lot with 
Jupyter Notebooks.
I proposed two project ideas 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. To 
have a proper client for WCS 2.0 is in high need.

- 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 should 
harness QGIS and GRASS GIS modules, and in the best case, open data.

I added both project suggestions to the QGIS wiki.

If you are interested in co-mentoring one of the two projects, please 
get in touch and we can discuss the ideas further. I look forward to 
hearing from you.

Best regards,
Julia
