Hi all, I would like to invite the OSM community – and particularly developers of open source software from the OSM ecosystem – to add project ideas for Google Summer of Code 2019 to the wiki:
https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Project_ideas During GSoC, university students receive stipends from Google and spend a couple months contributing to FOSS projects. Students are mentored by more experienced contributors during that time. And while students aren't restricted to the suggested project ideas, most end up picking something from that list. OSM has successfully participated as a mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code for over a decade, and members of the Engineering Working Group are currently working on the application for this year. We hope to have at least some content on the ideas page by the application deadline (Wednesday – see https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline for the full timeline), but of course you'll be able to edit your project ideas and add more of them afterwards, too. GSoC is always an opportunity for FOSS projects to attract new developers and get some cool features implemented, so I hope to see a lot activity again this year!
