It seems you have expertise in these specific areas, so it might be better
for you to consider also topics which are focused more on something related
to what you work on. The topics you can propose are not limited by the list
on the wiki [1]. However, it may be harder to find mentors in this case.

Also, for the programming now and during application period, you have a
choice of working on some ticket or you can implement some of your previous
work in GRASS GIS (or port it to GRASS GIS).

Hi

My name is Anisha and I am a fourth year student in Geological
Technology at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This January, I
built an ArcGIS plug-in in Python that automates the Laminar Flow Model
method to give a glacier's thickness distribution raster. For my thesis,
I will be working around developing a framework that gives
recommendation for specific Spatial Interpolation Techniques based on
user dataset.

When I learnt about some of the project ideas listed by OSGeo, I was
extremely eager to be a part of this open source community. I am
especially interested in 'Additional GUI tools for Image Analysis',
since I think these enhancements will make the interface very
user-friendly. I have less familiarity with GRASS-GIS but I am keen on
picking it up soon.


Concerning the specific project, please see some information in the 
thread at [1].


More generally, make sure to have gone through the more general material 
at [2].


At this stage you should spend time to get familiar with GRASS GIS. 
Install everything you need for compilation, check out the code, compile 
and read through some of the docs.

[GRASS-dev] Introduction for GSoC '17

2017-03-15 Thread Anisha Godha 
Hi

My name is Anisha and I am a fourth year student in Geological Technology
at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This January, I built an ArcGIS
plug-in in Python that automates the Laminar Flow Model method to give a
glacier's thickness distribution raster. For my thesis, I will be working
around developing a framework that gives recommendation for specific
Spatial Interpolation Techniques based on user dataset.

When I learnt about some of the project ideas listed by OSGeo, I was
extremely eager to be a part of this open source community. I am especially
interested in 'Additional GUI tools for Image Analysis', since I think
these enhancements will make the interface very user-friendly. I have less
familiarity with GRASS-GIS but I am keen on picking it up soon.

Thanks, and I hope to make a good contribution.
