Okay,
Google Summer of Code 2010 was announced yesterday [1], and
organizations have until friday to submit applications.
It is essential that any Mapnik users that are interested in mentoring
a project (or just have project ideas), please TODAY or TOMORROW, add
to this page:
http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Ideas
and skim:
http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010
I think we generally in good shape on the application, but I would
welcome any feedback (or edits):
http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Application
Also, the OSGEO foundation has successfully been involved with GSOC
for the last several years and have also applied with some project
ideas involving Mapnik:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Cartographic_Engine#Ideas_for_Summer_of_Code_2010_Project
Hopefully we'll both get accepted and mentors can encourage cross
collaboration between several students, but possibly also just focus
resources on the issues in Mapnik that are shared: notably multi-
resolution/scalable output for vector formats and paper printing.
Please, please edit the wiki(s) with any thoughts. Extra points for
condensing ideas and cross-linking!
Thanks,
Dane
