[GRASS-user] Contribution to GRASS GIS

Dear community members,

I am Ashutosh Mitra from India. I am pursuing a masters in Geoinformatics from CSRE, IIT Bombay. I have had exposure to ArcGIS, GRASS GIS, spatial database, QGIS, etc. in the past. Also, I have done projects in GIS for making an AR app for COVID19 to detect the number of cases in a particular direction. And another project for detecting straight lines in an image using Hough Transform. Currently, I am studying courses like GIS and Remote sensing applications to hydrocarbon and mineral exploration.

I am very much interested in contributing to the open-source community as it will help to improve my skills, build connections and learn new things.

Thus, I would like to contribute to OSGEO in Google Summer of Code 2021 for the project

· GRASS GUI: Single window layout

Link to my projects:

I would be grateful if I could get direction to proceed from your side.

Regards

Hello Ashutosh,

thank you for contacting us! You are a little bit ahead of us, we will create the 2021 GSoC page shortly, perhaps adding other topics. If you are interested in Single window layout, please go ahead with the test of skills as listed on the 2020 GSoC page [1]. Additionally, check GRASS GitHub page for GUI bugs and enhancements, since this topic requires you to be quite familiar with the existing GUI code base. To start, try e.g. issue 1189 [2].

Best,
Anna
