Hi Aakash,
great to hear this!
As a first thin I would suggest you to build the android QGIS so you get
all dependencies working and so on.
Some bugs I'd suggest you to look into, are:
- http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5170
- http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7732
- http://hub.qgis.org/issues/6037
For your application, it is fairly straight forward, you need to write a
proposal similar to [1] where you explain what you would like to
achieve, subscribe and introduce yourself to the qgis-developer (added
to CC) [2] and see what people think. I'd like to mentor you, just
please remember that this is a serious commitment.
Regarding your skills, it looks good, and yes qml is not that hard to learn.
Looking forward to read and comment on your proposal
ciao

Hi Marco,
I am really eager to participate in this year's GSoC, continuing on the
QGIS for Mobile Phone Devices project. I understand that it is a bit too
late to express my interest. However, my final exams were on, and so, I
was busy in that. Now, I am free and can give all the time for working
on the proposal, understanding the code and going through the documentation.
To demonstrate my understanding of the code, I can work on fixing a few
bugs fromhttp://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/issues. Also, if you
have any task in mind which you would like me to do, which might help
you judge my skills, I would be really happy to do it.
Regarding my past experience, I would like to say that I have experience
in C, C#, Java and Python. I gained some development experience in C++
when I used it for developing a Clutter + GTK based UI for 'Flashback'.
It is a rudimentary versioning file system which my team built for a
college competition. I have not used Qt before, and hence I am not
familiar with QML. However, I am sure it will not be difficult to learn.
I have used XAML for working on WPF GUIs and also Glade while working
with GTK.
I have some previous experience in working on Open Source projects. I
have previously participated in GSoC 2011, under ASCEND
<http://www.ascend4.org/>. Here is a link to my work log -
http://ascend4.org/User:Aakash .
I have some experience in coding for mobile devices. I used the Windows
Phone SDK to develop a wifi based remote control for Lego Mindstorm
robots. A ‘server’ would listen for commands over a socket and forward
those to the Lego robot via bluetooth. So, the robot could effectively
be controlled by any device which could send commands to this server.
A client application was developed for Windows Phones. This application
presented a Joystick UI to the user, for controlling the robot’s
acceleration. I also implemented a feature with which the user could
record a joystick action and replay it later. The feature also allowed
users to compose new movements using combinations of previously recorded
actions. All this was done as part of a research project at Microsoft
Research, Bangalore during December 2012. I had also interned at
Microsoft Research in Summer 2012, but that was on a different project
I have completed courses (both - Theory and Labs) in Algorithms,
Software Engineering, Compiler Design and Operating Systems and done
well in all of them.
I have also attached my latest resume for your reference.
It would be really great if you could guide me as to how I should go
about with my application, given that very little time is left, and so I
should make the best possible use of it. I am really looking forward to
working on this project.
Thank you.
