Application for GSoC - Greta

Hello everyone!

My name is Greta, and I’m excited to join this community. I’m from Spain, and I’m a programming instructor specializing in languages like Python and C++. I’ve been focusing on data modeling for some time now and am eager to give my knowledge a more practical direction. I want to apply what I’ve learned in real-world projects and contribute to the open-source community in GSoC program.

I am mainly motivated by the opportunity to work on projects that impact issues like sustainability, urban planning, and natural resource management. Through OSGeo, I can contribute to technologies that help address global challenges.

I’m particularly excited about the improvement project for grass.jupyter because I see the potential to enhance its accessibility and usability further. By contributing to this initiative, I hope to help make GRASS GIS even more intuitive so learners and practitioners can more easily engage with geospatial data analysis in an interactive environment.

For now, I’m testing the software to explore potential improvements and try creating a test for the library, as mentioned in the project description. I also planned to start with a GitHub issue labeled “good first issue.” I hope I’m on the right track.

Hi Greta!

Welcome! Yes, you are on the right track. There are couple places you can start with. I saw your comment at r.proj: Add unit tests · Issue #2512 · OSGeo/grass · GitHub and that may not be the easiest task to start with, so I would suggest instead:

Also look at our contributing guidelines when contributing a PR. Feel free to ask if you are stuck. Looking forward to your contributions!

Thank you very much for your guidance! Today, I sent a pull request for the first one you recommended: r.proj: Add unit tests · Issue #2512 · OSGeo/grass · GitHub
