[QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2021 Final Report
Hi all, Since Google Summer of Code is coming to and end I would like to share my final report. I tried to summurize the main information about the feature I've worked on, you can find the link in [1]. I also wrote weekly record during this summer that you can find on the OSGeo wiki page [2]. Thank you for the feedback and for the help that I recevied here, from the two mentors and in the preparation of the PR. I'm looking forward to work with QGIS again!

HI to everyone, I'm Francesco and, as Martin wrote, I'll work on "on-the-fly" raster calculator in the next months. Thank you for the welcome! I'm really excited about this project and I'm looking forward to getting the best out of this experience and contributing to the QGIS project. I'm really grateful and excitedabout this big opportunity and I hope to obtain some interesting results and to add some nice and useful features.

Hi again, Sorry for the delay. Julien, thank you for the message I agree with about Alister proposal! Alister, thank you for the explanation and for the advice! Concerning the project and so the renderer feature, the first result I would like to achieve is to style the layer, I agree it would be useful to use other layers, but I'm not sure if it should be allowed in a styling function for the reasons you pointed out in the first message or, at least, the styled layer should be "fixed" if other layers are to be chosen. For the addition of the Σ button next to all the "band" comboboxes, the existence of the subrenderer should've done this work only in one place, but I see your point. I will take it into account and discuss it with mentors that proposed the idea in the first place. Concerning the enhancement that you propose, I think it's more than reasonable (well, it would be really useful) and quite interesting, but I see it more like an improvement of the virtual raster capabilities and, I would say, it's beyond the scope of my proposal.

I already worked on a projet where such a feature could have been of great values, I will follow your work with interest. I like also the Alister proposal, and already thought about a "virtual raster" connected to a raster processing that you run on-the-fly according to the map extent. This way, we could run process on raster subpart, and update it while the user move in map. It would be interesting for raster stored on a server, like COG for instance. Don't know if it's technically feasible though.

In fact, I don't know SNAP very well but band math + virtual raster bands could be an inspiration for some aspects.

Hi Alessandro, First of all thank you for your feedback (let's hope for the best) and for your work. I did not forget your comment in my previous thread and I studied (I'd rather say I read, due to limited amount of time left) the existing documentation, I saw that hillshade benefits of openCL acceleration too. In fact, I discussed with mentors some extra features for the (possible, hopefully) new renderer (I think in the comment history you'll find openCL) but since openCL would add some extra complexities that maybe I wouldn't be able to manage in the GSoC coding time, I left it out of the proposal for the time being, and I added some possible modification and improvements to the raster calculator engine instead. By the way, and this is besides GSoC, the use of that framework and the possible results thrilled me and I'd like to improve the existing renderer feature for example. Given my knowledge of the topic at the moment this is more of an idea than a serious commitment but I'd like to to elaborate further this subject in the near future. Sorry for the long message, I hope my thoughts about it are clear.

Hello QGIS Dev, I’m Francesco Bursi, an M.Sc. civil engineer from Italy currently enrolled in a Master of Advanced Studies (Level 8 EQF) in giscience and geoinformatics at the University of Padua. Through this postgraduate course I’m doing an internship in Gter S.r.l. I’m really interested to take part to the GSoC 2021 and learning more about the development of QGIS. I would like to work on the first idea that has been proposed. I have to say in advance that I’m not proficient in C++ in particular, but I’m really eager to learn it (I’d love to). On the other side I’m proficient in pyhton, I know javascript, html and css, and I’m also proficient in SQL. I was and I am an enthusiast QGIS user, I’m currently working with Lizmap (I’m writing some js script to customize my maps), QGIS and PostgreSQL/Postgis db; I would like to contribute to the QGIS project and being part of the developer community. I would like to know if I’m eligible for this project and if I can share with you the python script that I wrote as a test as you suggested in the last point of the “Project Ideas”: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2021-Ideas P.s. I’d like to mention that Roberto Marzocchi, the CTO of the company in which I’m doing the internship -Gter Srl-, is available as a co-co-mentor if it’s possible. I mean that Gter srl can give me “operative and logistic” help if needed. Roberto worked in the development of some plugins for QGIS and he’s, of course, involved in a lot of project in the “gis/webgis world”, he never worked on QGIS core.
