Community Manager | Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 | No Comments »
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects (.pdf flyer here). The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is gathering ideas around Geospatial projects.
Spatialytics.ORG is among the projects listed on the OSGeo GSoC wiki page.
Spatialytics is interested in having students working on different ideas to improve the Spatial ETL GeoKettle, the SPatial OLAP server GeoMondrian and/or the SOLAP mapping component SOLAPLayers. Visit the Spatialytics.ORG GSoC ideas page. The project ideas proposed on that page, if selected, will be mentored by Dr. Thierry Badard who also leads the GeoSOA research team at Laval University in Quebec City.
GSoC remaining timeline :
- April 9th 2010: Student application deadline. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted! There is two way feedback during the application process which really helps you improve and clarify your application before this final deadline.
- April 26th 2010: Accepted student proposals are announced.
- May 24th 2010: Coding begins!
- July 12-16th: Mid-term evaluation.
- August 9th: Pencils down!
