[Geoserver-devel] GSOC 2015?

Hi List,
It's probably a bit late now (closing date for ideas is 18th Feb I believe), but does GeoServer do anything with the Google Summer of Code? I can see a blog post from 2009, but not seen any mention this year, nor does it appear to have come up at the GT/GS meeting.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I am trying to think of a good project suitable for a student. Most of our rainy day projects are large and/or un-exciting.

a) Port user interface to newer wicket? Only exciting if they get to improve the workflow …
b) Update CITE-Tests - not sure how to interest a student in this …
c) Migrate off vec-math - seems to be going ahead on its own

Ideas:

  • Update gt-tile module to latest GeoTools and use as a basis for a “cascading” tile service
  • vecmath was mentioned on the user list, not sure if it is suitable as a student project
  • REST API cleanup - might actually be interesting

We are pretty stretched in terms of volunteers. Perhaps Ben would be in position to mentor a student?

Historically we have not done so well due to lack of volunteers for mentoring. I guess the professional life of the average geoserver developer is just too busy (I’ve certainly tried and failed… Twice)

I’ve been mentoring GeoMesa projects this year with Facebook’s Open Academy. The spin-up for the full cloud stack is a quite a bit. I’ve been thinking that I might like to identify smaller GeoTools and/or GeoServer tasks for students to team up on during the semester long efforts.

Crossing threads, that may give a way to put some effort behind my ‘warm and fuzzy’ feelings for concurrent rendering code.

Just to be clear, I’m not volunteering for GSOC, but rather suggesting a way that we could be involved in the future.

Cheers,

Jim

I was a co-mentor last year and would be willing to do so again (although time zones limited my involvement). The project was some updated ubuntu-gis packaging with some GeoTools included:

I have created the placeholder page:

I have put the strict “must introduce yourself on the developer list” requirement at the top of the page - hope nobody minds :slight_smile:
