Hello All, My name is Zeke Krautwurst and I am interested in participating in GSoC this summer through GRASS GIS. I have been in contact with developers Vashek Petras and Anna Petrasova at NCSU. Vashek recommended that I reach out to the broader dev community as well, potentially to find a lead mentor.
As part of my Master of Geospatial Information Science and Technology coursework at NCSU, I am working on a few projects using Python, PostgreSQL, and database development that I think will apply to the needs of the *GRASS GIS Locations created from public data <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017#GRASSGISLocationscreatedfrompublicdata>* project. Through April, I will be creating a GUI and Python scripts to convert multiple formats of publicly available microbiome data into a standardized geospatial format. I also hope to create a normalized PostgreSQL database that accommodates the scripts, the microbiome data, and associated metadata which could all be deployed through a web-based framework. I want to use GRASS GIS for both of those assignments in place of ArcMap and I think that completing those projects will give me the experience I need to be useful to the GRASS GIS project over the summer. Additionally, I am looking to develop and complete my MGIST capstone project this coming Fall and I would be happy to continue this work through graduation in Dec 2017. Thanks for your time and please let me know if anyone has any feedback or advice! Best, Zeke -- Zechariah F. Krautwurst NCSU College of Natural Resources MGIST Candidate 2017 zfkra...@ncsu.edu
