As part of my efforts to be more active on the "open source geospatial
community" I have agreed to help Frank Wammerdam with the Google Summer of
Code coordination at the OSGeo. (Thanks to Paul Ramsey for some
encouragement in this regard.)
I'd really like to see some GeoTools and JUMP/OpenJUMP projects make it in
to the Summer of Code umbrella at the OSGeo. I am willing to prepare a
Summer of Code proposal for a DXF reader/writer that we can contribute to
GeoTools and use in JUMP/OpenJUMP and UDig. I am also willing to prepare a
proposal to add some improvements and new features to JTS. I would also
mentor both projects.
However, I don't know any students enrolled in programming courses that
would be interested in this. I know some of my fellow
JUMP/OpenJUMP developers and the GeoTools developers would be in a better
position in this regard. If I prepare one or two of the proposals I
mentioned will we be able to find interested students to participate?
Thanks for your help with this.
