Dear GRASS community,
I am Linda Kladivova, a master student of Geomatics from Czech Technical University in Prague currently studying at Kansas State University in the US, coming home at the beginning of June.
I would like to work on a new GRASS GIS startup mechanism. It is a very important topic and I remember, when I started with Grass, it was not much pleasant for me and fully understand that this start can discourage many people from doing more work. But It is a pity because Grass GIS can offer a lot of useful things.
For my technical knowledge, I am used to working with QGIS, ArcGIS and I have experience with simple tasks in the Grass environment as well. In my life, I was mainly focused on databases - SQL (PL/SQL) and I also deal with the development of automation scripts related to databases via Powershell and Python. I do not have any experience with wxPython, but had several courses at school focused on C++ (Qt framework). I think this project would generally enrich me in terms of programming. Those experiences I could then definitely employ when programming my diploma thesis - a library in Python addressing the problem of missing personal data in the Czech Cadastre Exchange Format. You can have a look at it at my GitHub profile: https://github.com/lindakladivova/2019-d-ctios
I would be very happy to participate in this project that really makes sense and helps people. I have already contacted and discussed the features of the project with Anna and Vaclav Petras and Martin Landa. All three would be willing to be my mentors.
Thank you for your consideration and hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Linda
Big big +1 for this!!
I guess you already saw https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/New_Startup for a history of discussions and different ideas on the topic through the time
Wish you all the best and I look forward to reading your proposal soon
