  2. Google Summer of Code in Geoinformatics • Table of Content • What is GSoC • How does GSoC work? • GSoC 2006 Statistics • GSoC in Geoinformatics 2006 • GSoC in Geoinformatics 2007 (new!!!)

  3. What is Google Summer of Code • Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that offers student developers stipends to create new open source programs or to help currently established projects. • Project for student developers • Project for mentoring organizations and Open Source communities • Project for Google

  4. Students perspective (L)earn a lot!!! • Get stipend – 4 500 USD • Get involved in Open Source Development • Get involved in real word programming • Meat other specialist – community core members

  5. Communities Perspective • Get new code – new functionality • Get new developers • Get money – 500 USD per successful student

  6. Google perspective • Google has a lot of Open Source project • Advertisement • Recruitment process

  7. How GSoC works – preliminary part • Start during Spring • Google addressed Open Source communities • Open Source communities prepares ideas • Students make proposals • Accepted application are announced • Mentors get in touch with students • 28. May – students start to work (at home)

  8. How GSoC works – main part • Accepted application – student get 500 USD • 17. July – mentors make evaluation - when positive student receive 2000 USD • End of August – final evaluation – students receive 2000 USD and mentoring organizations receive 500 USD

  9. Communication • Mail list (community list, Google GSoC list) • Weekly reports • IRC meetings • SVN – code review • FAQ

  10. GSoC 2006 statistics

  11. GSoC 2006 Statistics • 6388 Applications • 3044 Applicants • 1260 Mentors • 630 Accepted Students • 456 Schools • 102 Open Source Organizations • 90 Countries

  12. Projekty u jednotlivých organizací

  13. Statistiky

  14. Project focused on Geoinformatics - 2006 • Mentoring organization Refractions Research • Project focused on GeoTools and uDig • GDAL ImageIO integration • uDig GPS Record Import and Spatial Report Processing • Coordinate System Transformations

  15. Project focused on Geoinformatics - 2007 • Mentoring organization OSGeo • Open Source communities: • GDAL, GeoServer, GeoTools, GRASS, MapGuide, MapServer, OpenJUMP, PostGIS, uDig

  16. OSGeo projects • GRASS Modules for line generalization and smoothing, GDAL Raster Driver for PNG/JPG Tile Structure + gdal2tiles utility, Materialized Views with Geometric Support, Plugins for multidimensional raster data sources, Caching data in uDig, JtileCache, Shortest path in free (vector) space avoiding obstacles module in GRASS, GDAL: KML read support for the existing driver, New Transformation Algorithms for GeoTools and uDig, Coverage model and operations for PostGIS, GeoServer Style Editor, Implementation of An Interactive GeoRSS tool in uDig, A Synthetic Aperture RADAR Processor using GDAL, 3D Rendering Pipeline for GeoTools, OGC WMS GDAL driver, 3Dimensional Rendering Pipeline Component for GIS Servers

  17. Conclusion • GSoC approach • Takes place during summer • Students are accordingly honoured • Projects are focused on real software products • Third party mentoring organizations • It's fun!!

  18. Thanks for your attention
