Hello Biswesh,
great to see interested students that early. Let me start by noting that
it's still a bit time until we know if Google even accepts us as a
mentoring organization!
For development related questions this mailing list you choose is a good
start. You might also want to check out our
Hi all,
next week, starting with March 20th, students can start to apply for a
project and submit proposals until April, 4th. That's why we should
start and add mentors to the GSoC platform so they can see and read
student proposals as early as possible. For that I have to invite you as
a mentor.
Hello Subhani,
thank you for your interest in our great project OpenStreetMap!
As you might have noticed on the GSoC page, there's a link for each
organization where you can find a list of project ideas students might
work on. Our list is in the wiki, here:
Hi all,
as a little follow-up: The EGW has discussed about this year's GSoC,
about interested students and the current list of project ideas. We have
a really nice list of project ideas, but we don't have a mentor for each
of them. As an admin I have to make sure we have at least one mentor per

you have started in the right direction for sure. We value students
being proactive, students that make themselves known to our beloved

as you might know, OpenStreetMap and the ecosystem is realy huge. There
is not a single "OpenStreetMap repository". We have different editors,

quick update on that. As you might be aware, we had been accepted as an
organisation for this year's GSoC and today was the deadline for student
applications.

the applications carefully the next weeks. I'll keep you

your project sounds really interesting and I hope you'll succeed with
it. And I'd be very happy if you'd switch to OSM instead of Google Maps

However, I'm afraid we can't accept you for this year's GSoC mainly for

waypoints and direction vectors to look at, i.e. the

there seems nobody eager to apply to GSoC this year. However, I

attention to OSM and gets some coding done, so we should
