Mike.
Thank you for your suggestion.
I do not know where the apache licence ref comes from.  This year's
application says GPL with a note saying some is PD.

 Hi All,
 Following Rajan's prompt I have made a start on a wiki page to detail
 OSM's participation in the 2010 Google Summer of Code (
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2010).

 The page includes a draft proposal for OSM to apply to GSoC when the
 programme starts, but I think it would be worth us starting on a list of
 potential projects.
 I have had a look through previous GSoC pages and the 'Student Projects'
 wiki page, but I am not sure which are still appropriate, and which have
 been superseded by other work.

 Please can you give some thought to potential projects for students and
 add them to the wiki page?  The thing to remember is that the projects need
 to be pretty well defined and be achievable in a relatively short time
 period.

 Feel free to add comments to the proposals so that we get the most useful
 set of potential projects.

 This is an opportunity for OSM to get some help with coding, and is a
 useful learning experience for students, so please give some thought to what
 you would like to see worked on!

 Thanks


 Graham.

I'm interested in helping as well.

I've started getting organized to have the Mapnik project participate  
for the first time:


http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010

But to the extent there is cross-over or it is more useful for me to  
help with a project from the OpenStreetMap side, I'm interested in  
that as well.

Re: [OSM-dev] GSoC'10

2010-02-06 Thread Graham Jones
Dane,
All offers of help welcome thank you!

I have made a start at a wiki page to collate the OSM application to Google
Summer of Code, and start to collect project ideas (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2010).   Please
feel free to add any ideas to that.

I haven't been through previous lists of suggestions yet - I think it would
be worthwhile to trawl through those and add ones that are still relevant.

As to whether it is more useful to get Mapnik registered in its own right or
not, I am afraid I do not know - I only got involved late on in last year's
GSoC so have no experience of the application process - Maybe Ian Dees or
someone with more experience of the GSoC application process can comment?
I suppose it depends on two things - (1) how likely mapnik is to be accepted
on its own and (2) what 'we' regard as the scope of OSM?   Personally I
think we should include tools that are used to process OSM data, which would
include mapnik, but others may disagree!

Regards


Graham.

I got the impression that Google would much rather have more organizations
represented in GSoC than less. I say go ahead and apply. As long as you have
some specific projects set up for possible applicants and a fairly decent
reputation as a real project, I imagine you'll be approved.
