== OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2019 ==

The [http://www.osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders and the future of the geospatial industry; show us what you've got!

* '''Students: check out the [[Google Summer of Code Recommendations for Students]] page. If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentors via the OSGeo-SoC mailing list''' ([[#How to get in contact via mailing lists|see below]]) And look at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities GSoC Roles and Responsibilities ] to understand a successfull teamwork and interplay of project, mentors and students.

* There is a [https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/flyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

* Ok, [[OSGeo]] is involved in working with maps and things, but what kind of projects does it really do? Have a look at the [http://planet.osgeo.org/ live blog feed] to see what people are working on right now.

* Mentors, there's an additional link providing some tips and specifying your responsibilities on the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2019 Administrative]] wiki page.

== The ideas pages ==
'''''[Check back often, it's a work in progress]'''''

To add your page, please contact the GSoC admin team to let them know of your ideas page, by sending an email to [mailto:gsoc-admin@osgeo.org gsoc-admin@osgeo.org]

Each participating project's list of ideas is on the respective projects' wikis, with a short description of the project and what type of students would be interested in it:

[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course,
but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.

== Dates and Times ==

March 24-28 2014

Note: March 19-21 FOSSGIS Berlin

Duration: Full week

== Agenda ==

TBD

== Hotel ==

A hotel block is planned to be negotiated. Details will be provided here.

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Vienna
* Accommodation for four nights
* Breakfast and dinner (partly)

Google Summer of Code 2011 Ideas

2011-03-21T21:04:14Z

Wiki-MartinDobias: /* The ideas pages */

[[Image:GSOC_2011_URL.png|400px|center]]

see also [[Google Summer of Code 2010 Ideas]]

* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2011]] wiki page.

=OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2011=

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders; show us what you've got.

'''If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentoring organisations via soc at lists.osgeo.org'''

* There is a [http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

=What to expect during the summer?=

==Be prepared to be in constant communication with your mentors and project==
You and your mentors will decide on the specifics, but we will expect you and your mentor to communicate *a lot*. Part of the idea of SoC is to intergrate you into the developer community, so you should get involved from the start. The more you communicate the easier it will be. Don't be afraid that the mentors will request your phone number. It is only to make sure that we can reach you, in case of problems.

==Weekly reports==
Yes, every week we expect to see a report posted to the soc@osgeo mailing list that at least answers the following questions:
# What did you get done this week?
# What do you plan on doing next week?
# Are you blocked on anything?
These questions BTW are the same as are used in real-work, when developing with the
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development) Scrum] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development development process]. ;)

If you want, feel free to write *more*. But three sentences is the bare minimum. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND YOUR PROGRESS REPORTS ON TIME*, if you don't send this email your mentors will start to get twitchy, and *especially* if they don't get any responses to their emails / don't see you in IRC. Twitchy mentors is not what we want. If you are blocked by finals, that's cool. We have all studied at some point, just tell us about it, be honest. If you don't know how to proceed and your mentor isn't answering *definitely* tell about it. The SoC project admins will always be available. Basically the point is that you open up the communication channels, and keep them open. That way you will have a super summer, and get paid ;)

Last year this weekly report proved to be very popular among the students and mentors alike, so we will keep it up.

==Wiki page and blogs==
In addition to weekly reports we ask you to maintain a wiki or blog page for your project. You should store your weekly reports there and add other information, like how to compile and test your program. If applicable add screenshots and other nice info.

Wiki and/or blog space can and will be provided by OSGeo if your project doesn't have anything already set up for this.

=Timeline=
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline

* March 18: Google announces accepted organizations. If OSGeo is accepted as an organization for Google Summer of Code, start talking to us earlier rather than later.
* April 8: Student application deadline. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted! There is two way feedback during the application process which really helps you improve and clarify your application before this final deadline.
* April 25: Accepted student proposals are announced.
* May 23: Coding begins!
* July 11: Mid-term evaluation.
* August 22: Pencils down!

* [[OSGeo_Cartographic_Engine#Ideas_for_Summer_of_Code_2010_Project | Cartographic Engine project ideas built on Mapnik]]: Refining much needed high quality hardcopy output tools that encourage collaboration. Built on Mapnik, applications like QGIS, GRASS, MapServer, etc. can output using these features. Focused initially on building specs that support Mapnik as the engine, but that could be applied generally across OSGeo projects as well.
* [http://www.spatialytics.org/google-summer-of-code-2010-ideas/ Spatialytics.org GSoC 2010 Ideas]: Spatialytics.org is the new home of the three open source Geospatial BI projects (GeoKettle, GeoMondrian and SOLAPLayers). Geospatial Business Intelligence (BI) tools, such as spatial ETL (Extract, Transform and Load), geo-analytical dashboards and Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing (SOLAP) allow decision-makers to rapidly analyze large amount of data at different levels of time, geography and detail in order to make better decisions.
* [http://www.mapwindow.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code MapWindow GIS SoC Ideas]: MapWindow is a free, extensible, geographic information system (GIS) that can be used as an alternative desktop GIS, to distribute data to others, to develop and distribute custom spatial data analyses, written in .NET (C++, C#, VB.NET). If you're a talented VB.Net, C#, or C++ programmer, you could be the perfect fit to work on this project. We have a couple of ideas that could be done over the summer; feel free to suggest your own ideas or plug-ins as well.
* [[MapServer_2010_SOC_Ideas | MapServer GSoC Ideas]]: MapServer is a Web Mapping Engine; an Open Source platform for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web.
* [[Live_GIS_Disc_GSoC_2010 | OSGeo Live]] is a stack of 35+ of the best GeoSpatial Open Source packages bundled as a LiveDVD and Virtual Machine on top an Xubuntu linux ditribution. There are opportunities to address packaging and cross project quality control through application of systematic testing processes. Through this project, developers will gain a broad understanding of the full GeoSpatial Open Source stack.
* [[gvSIG GSoC 2011 Ideas|gvSIG]] is the free GIS project developed by the gvSIG Association. gvSIG is at this time a group of software developments for [http://www.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/description2/view?set_language=en Desktop],[http://www.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-mobile/description-2/view?set_language=en PDAs] and [http://gvsigmini.org mobile phones].
