Hi there! My name is Facundo Ferrin. I am a nuclear engineer who is taking a master in Computer Vision in Barcelona, and finally I found my opportunity to contribute to OSGeo by applying two things that I really like: Python and Backend development 🙌. I do not know exactly what I should write in this first email, so I'll start by listing the projects I'm interested in.
I'm working in a company that is developing a platform for precision agriculture called Auravant (https://www.auravant.com/). I work as a backend developer and data analyst and I use daily almost every tool that you post in the ideas: GeoServer, PostGIS, QGis. I'm also porting a tool for polygon simplification called topoJSON ( https://github.com/fferrin/topojson). --- *MY MAIN IDEA* is to start porting GRASS tools into a python package that can be used in other projects (beyond the client to use by command line). I don't know if it's something you have in mind but for offline and automated analysis it would be very useful. I particularly had problems when I tried to simplify geometries since the geometry of polygons was not taken into account. --- If it's not a viable project at this point, there are two projects that also caught my attention: - Create new rules for the Topology Framework in gvSIG Desktop <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_GSoC_2019_Ideas> - QGIS 3D Improvements <https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2019-Ideas> I think that maybe I can apply some of the things that I learned from topoJSON for the first project, and things that I learned from the master to the second project. Learn C++ is in my schedule (because for Computer Vision is really important) so it will be really useful for me to program in C++, and in case that the project is hard enough, I could make it in Python (which has support for Qt) and it could be translated into C++ as a GSoC 2020 project. Hope to hear from you soon!
