- Back to the main OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2016 wiki page.
OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2016
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.
- 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 (see below)
- There is a 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 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_2016_Administrative wiki page.
The ideas pages
[Check back often, it's a work in progress]
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:
OSGeo Foundation member projects
- More coming soon: Get started talking to your favorite project's development team today!
Guest projects
Like-minded geospatial projects to take part under OSGeo umbrella. If you wish your software project to be listed here, please contact Madi or Anne.

Other like minded projects do not participate to GSoC under OSGeo umbrella, but with their own organization. You may want to visit also their page:
Don't see in the list the project you're interested in?
Contact them in their developers mailing list! Feel free to propose your own idea and get feedback!
I want to apply as a student
Before applying as a student, check out the Google Summer of Code Recommendations for Students page.
Which project do I choose?
Most of the software projects are available pre-built on our Live demo { DVD | USB stick | VirtualMachine } with project overviews and short tutorials where you can try everything out.
