Hi All, OSM has taken part in the Google Summer of Code programme for the last few years, and we are thinking of applying to take part again this year. The programme is to encourage university students to participate in open source projects. They receive a payment from Google to allow them to work on computer coding projects over the summer break rather than taking other work. OSM receives a small contribution for its participation too. To take part OSM has to provide a list of 'project ideas' for challenging, but achievable projects, then offer a mentor to help the successful students achieve their project goals. We have started an ideas page at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012. Please will you have a look, and add any project ideas you can come up with to the list? Also, if you would be willing to act as a mentor, please make a note on that page too. We need to complete the project ideas list this week, so please put down anything you can think of eary. If you would like any more information, please let me know. Thanks Graham. -- Graham Jones Hartlepool, UK. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- Parveen Arora www.parveenarora.in E-Mail: m...@parveenarora.in _______________________________________________ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
