Congratulations and Welcome to GeoTools Summer of Code. Your proposal 3D Rendering Pipeline for GeoTools was accepted.
My name is Jody Garnett and I have the pleasure of being your mentor over the course of the summer (My background is with GIS and OpenGL). Jesse Eichar will be backing me up (he has some experience with JOGL under the confines of SWT). We are both located in the Victoria, Canada (Pacific Time Zone) so a lot of our communication will be via email, IRC and the usual open source tools of the trade. There are a few details, including contact info, about myself here: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/~jive I am of course available to answer your questions, but most of the time we will be on the public email lists - since our goal is to get you involved in the community. I understand that your project will not start until May 28th, however there are a few things you can do to get ready. Read the Developers Guide: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Home - checkout and compile GeoTools The developers guide has detail on how to check out and compile, and covers a lot of the steps we will take during your first week: requesting an unsupported module, obtaining svn access, and so on. When your project starts there will be a couple of ways to make progress visible to the community. We ask you to make a blog entry (on the GeoTools site) and attend the weekly IRC meeting. There will also be a wiki page and issue tracker for your module. For right now it would be great if you subscribed to the developers email list: * http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Mailing+Lists Once subscribed you can send an email introducing yourself to the community, and then I recommend lurking until your finals are done.
