[SoC] GSoC 2023 - Community Bonding Period Report

[Filippo Finke]

Hello everybody,

I am writing this email to provide an update on the work I have completed
during the Community Bonding Period, which spanned from May 4th to May 28th.

The following tasks have been accomplished:

1. Introduced myself to the soc mailing list of OSGeo

2. Created my OSGeo User Profile: I have set up my OSGeo User Profile[^1]
to establish my presence within the community and provide a platform for
project updates and contributions.

3. Wiki and Repository Setup: I have added relevant links to my project's
wiki pages and public repository on the accepted student's wiki page[^2].

4. Familiarized with Documentation: To make sure I fully understood the
GSoC program requirements, I carefully read and studied the guide provided
by Google for GSoC students and the specific instructions given by OSGeo.

5. SensorThingsAPI Research: As the project involves implementing the
SensorThingsAPI, I dedicated time to researching and reading the
SensorThingsAPI official specification[^3].

6. GSoC Contributor Summit: I actively participated in the GSoC Contributor
Summit, which provided valuable insights into the program.

7. Welcome Meet with ORG Admins: I participated in the Welcome Meet
organized by the organization administrators.

8. Communication with Mentors: Maintaining good communication with my
mentors is important for a successful GSoC project. Throughout the
Community Bonding period, I have regularly been in touch with my mentors,
talking about project planning, answering questions, and getting guidance
on what to do next.

9. Project Setup: I created a local copy of the GitHub repository, which
will be my working space. I downloaded all the necessary components and
installed the required software packages for the project [^4].

_What did I plan to do the next week?_
Communicate with my mentors and teammates to discuss the project plan and
divide tasks. I will also be working on the project setup and start coding.

_Am I blocked on anything?_
I have been able to complete all the tasks. I have also been able to
communicate with my mentors and teammates without any issues.

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.

A longer version of the report can be found on the Wiki Page of the
Project[^5] or on my blog[^6].

Best regards,
Filippo Finke
