Hello NuPIC, The Center for Open Exploration is a non-profit working on analyzing global aviation and maritime position data. All the work they fund is open source, and they are interested in enhancing the current GeospatialCoordinateEncoder to include altitude information [1].
To motivate the NuPIC community to provide this enhancement, they have posted a $300 USD bounty [2] on it. The author(s) of the first PR that solves the issue and is merged into the codebase will be eligible for the reward money. To sign up for this bounty, you must use the BountySource interface [2] to register as a developer on the issue. This is the first time we've done something like this for NuPIC, so if you are going to try to fetch the bounty, I suggest you make your intentions known here on the mailing list. I would hate to have several parties working on the same solution at the same time, only to have one PR approved and the others forgotten. All PRs for this bounty MUST identify themselves by including the text "Fixes #1461" in the PR description to be eligible. NuPIC reviewers (probably Chetan, Scott, or myself) will be the final authorities on the PR approval and merge. And don't forget, you must sign the contributor license agreement [3] before your PR can be merged.
