Hello Lonvia,
I’m a student of Computer Science Engineering at SRM University, India ( http://www.srmuniv.ac.in/). I am interested in submitting my proposal for GSOC 2017 for either one of the Open Street Map projects 1. Improve Postcode handling or 2. OpenAddresses for Nominatim. I have extensive experience working with PHP and MySQL databases on various web based projects. I have undergone a PostgreSQL course on https://www.lynda.com/PHP-5-tutorials/PostgreSQL-9-with-PHP-Essential-Training/73930-2.html and http://www.tutorialspoint.com/postgresql/ and I’m quite comfortable working with Github. I have some experience with Google Maps API while working on a location based Click-and-Collect grocery shopping app. I plan to continue with coding for OSM even after the GSOC project and also plan to base my six months project in the eighth and final semester of my course on OSM. I understand that the list of accepted mentoring organizations will be published on February 27 and potential student participants will discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations from February 27 to March 20 and that student application period is open from March 20 to April 3, but I wish to start early. I have downloaded JOSM to edit my local area on the map, but I found ID editor to be an easier option. With regard to extraction of postcode data and exporting data to the Nominatim database related to the project titled “Improve Postcode Handling”, I have looked at API v 0.6 ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6 ), including the endpoints for capabilities (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/capabilities ), permissions (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/permissions ), change sets (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changesets ), nodes (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/12345 ), and trace metadata (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/gpx/12345/details ) in which I was asked for Authentication. I also went through the Overpass API ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API ), Overpass Turbo remote ( http://overpass-turbo.eu/ ) and Overpass Turbo Query form ( http://www.overpass-api.de/query_form.html ). Though I was able to download limited data using the “Download Map data from OSM server” tool in JOSM, I am not sure about the endpoint and query to get post codes using API v 0.6 or Overpass API. I would really appreciate any help on this. <http://overpass-api.de/api/> I’m confident of producing productive work during the GSOC period. Before I start working on the proposal for GSOC 2017, I would appreciate any guidance you could provide. Thank you. Regards, Hriday N Sanghvi
