Google has announced the results of the GsocC applications. We have received 27 applications, of which only 3 have been an obvious no-effort application. 7 of these applications have gotten mentors that would be willing to coach the project. These projects were ranked with input from me, SteveC, Frederik Ramm and others. We have received 4 slots from Google, meaning that the following 4 projects will be paid by Google:
-Internationalization setup for OSM web pages and map tiles Arindam Ghosh Mikel Eruch Maron -Improved GPS workflow In Java Open Street Map Editor or JOSM Subhodip Biswas Raphael Mack -Osmarender's WYSIWYG GUI frontend: an hybrid web/ standalone-user/developer oriented architecture approach Mario Ferraro Frederik Ramm -Route altitude profile based on NASA SRTM data. Sjors Provoost Artem Dudarev -------------------------------- The following three applications had mentor, but did not receive funding from Google. I hope they will still try to pursue their project, even if not paid. Extra credit goes to Matthew Ludlum for trying very hard to get a Mapnik mentor in order to followup the Generalization algorithm (how icons/labels are drawn at what zoom level), sorry that it did not work out, but with only 4 slots it would have been difficult anyway. -Support for OSM data in SUAS MapServer Qian Min Dr. Franz-Josef Behr -Connecting external opening times from wikis with openstreetmap Johannes Böck Sebastian Spaeth -Replication of the Geoname-Database Veronica Wendlik Hakan Tandogan Welcome to the new community members, we hope to see their progress documented in blogs/wikis and in weekly progress reports (once the coding season starts). People, give them a helping hand if needed, we all know how steep the OSM learning curve can be.
