Dear Graham,
I read the idea page and find out that following projects are really interesting and have a good potential for me, 1 - Improve / Create Simple Android OSM editor 2 - OSM Application for Android 3 - Offline Map Viewer App with Notes - Enhancing NeoMap App for Android 4 - Android Application to have complete tracking record of Friends using OSM Data 5 - Nominatim (or alternative) 6 - HTML Based Micromapping Editor I did three major project in my university which is really similar to these kind of projects, Following description will give an idea bout those projects, 1 - Did a major Android development project called Travel Ceylon(http://www.insightforfuture.blogspot.com/2012/01/travel-ceylon-inteligent-travel-planner.html) as my 3rd year software project at the university. It was a Android application which is capable of providing trip plans in side Sri Lanka. It uses a web service to get details to generate trip plans. That web service also created by me. Using that Axis2+Java web service my application generates trip plans intelligently considering users interests. * Interest list of the traveler. * Starting position. * Destination position. * Time period of travel. * Special places to be included. * Special places to be avoided. * Which cities do you want to stay. Also I am currently developing a standalone version of Travel Ceylon app. I use my web service to get details about cities and places in Sri Lanka. In my standalone app, I integrate all these data into the application itself using a SQLite database. My android App’s codebase - https://code.google.com/p/travel-ceylon-android-client/ My Web Service’s codebase - https://code.google.com/p/travel-ceylon-web-service/ You can visit my blog link to see complete set of screen shots of my app. In near future I will release it to Android Market. 2 - MYJE - Make Your Journey Easy : Navigational System : This project is a navigational system for Sri Lanka, which provides you the paths to unknown destination and guide you through the path. Users are guided though direction commands to their destination. 3 - I did some development regarding finding bus roots in Sri Lanka. For example if you are in Sri Lanka, You have to go by several buses to reach a place. So I Purposed an app can suggest those buses and routes on users request. 4 - These days I am developing an Android application for Sri Lanka Police Department. The university choose me to do that project. Police department want a application which shows mobile communication details of a place. They want to use it in their crime investigations. 5 - Also I am a major web developer of my University, Currently I leading a team which creates a new web portal for our computer engineering department. I am really familiar with technologies like HTML,javascript,php etc. So having those experiences in Map related things, Android development etc. I think I want to do a project with you. So to proceed with my proposal work, I will do the things what you asked me. I have lot of data related to Sri Lanka. So can I contact those possible mentors directly to discuss about those projects sir? Because I have lot of things to ask?
