Hi
My name is Anisha and I am a fourth year student in Geological Technology at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This January, I built an ArcGIS plug-in in Python that automates the Laminar Flow Model method to give a glacier’s thickness distribution raster. For my thesis, I will be working around developing a framework that gives recommendation for specific Spatial Interpolation Techniques based on user dataset.
When I learnt about some of the project ideas listed by OSGeo, I was extremely eager to be a part of this open source community. I am especially interested in ‘Additional GUI tools for Image Analysis’, since I think these enhancements will make the interface very user-friendly. I have less familiarity with GRASS-GIS but I am keen on picking it up soon.
Thanks, and I hope to make a good contribution.

Hi Anisha and welcome to GRASS GIS !

Concerning the specific project, please see some information in the thread at [1].
More generally, make sure to have gone through the more general material at [2].
At this stage you should spend time to get familiar with GRASS GIS. Install everything you need for compilation, check out the code, compile and read through some of the docs.

It seems you have expertise in these specific areas, so it might be better
for you to consider also topics which are focused more on something related
to what you work on. The topics you can propose are not limited by the list
on the wiki [1]. However, it may be harder to find mentors in this case.
Also, for the programming now and during application period, you have a
choice of working on some ticket or you can implement some of your previous
work in GRASS GIS (or port it to GRASS GIS).
