Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Newbie,Contribute through GSOC Program
Hi Jayesh, It is totally upto you to decide which OSGeo project to work. There are plenty of opportunity in every project. Here are some pointers. 1. Start by checking out (not download) source from the project repository 2. build it own your own. There is always a howto build for every project. 3. Read the project documentation and try some tutorials 4. Try to write a simple hello osgeo project application using the API 5. Prepare an idea rather than a gsoc proposal( you should start working on idea to proposal when gosc program gets announced) as early as possible As you are from IIIT-H and was interested to work on OSGeo project you should talk with prof. Rajan of LSI lab and other students in the lab participated in GSoC in past years.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] WAP SMS in GIS
Hi, you dont need internet to do this. Web mapping can be detached from the whole thing. But we dont want to do that because primary users of this need to be accessed on web. Since we are not pushing everything from local db to server db as the last step. A net connection is not required as long as the parser and database is running on the same system where the Modem is connected.
