Introduction (Kinshuk Sanand) and feedback on draft proposal

I am Kinshuk Sanand, a sophomore at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Lucknow (IIIT Lucknow), India. I am interested in geospatial systems, backend infrastructure, and open-source development. I have built GeoMatch, a high-performance geospatial matching engine, and actively exploring OSGeo projects.

Contributor to GDAL and PROJ. Currently exploring istSOS and preparing a GSoC proposal related to RBAC and user management.

merged PRs:

PROJ:

  • #4692:Refactor time parsing with thread-safe localtime and leap year fix

GDAL:

  • #14038:apply ellipse rotation in quadtree path

  • #14036:remove redundant IsAboveTerrain calls to halve I/O

  • #14055:Update broken Trac/SVN links to GitHub

  • #14034:Fix copy-paste typo in SSE RMS overview resampling

  • #14078:replaced defunct Google Maps API link

  • #14080:fixed broken external links in software_using_gdal.rst

I want to deepen my understanding of geospatial infrastructure and contribute improvements to istSOS, particularly around user management, RBAC integration, and administration workflows.

I currently don’t have an OSGeo service account

I have made a draft proposal for istSOS ,wanted to know where do i share it to get feedback from the mentors of the istSOS community
