Google has announced the results of the GsocC applications. We have
received 27 applications, of which only 3 have been an obvious no-effort
application. 7 of these applications have gotten mentors that would be
willing to coach the project. These projects were ranked with input from
me, SteveC, Frederik Ramm and others. We have received 4 slots from
Google, meaning that the following 4 projects will be paid by Google:
-Internationalization setup for OSM web pages and map tiles
Arindam Ghosh Mikel Eruch Maron
-Improved GPS workflow In Java Open Street Map Editor or JOSM
Subhodip Biswas Raphael Mack
-Osmarender's WYSIWYG GUI frontend: an hybrid web/
standalone-user/developer oriented architecture approach
Mario Ferraro Frederik Ramm
-Route altitude profile based on NASA SRTM data.

--------------------------------
The following three applications had mentor, but did not receive funding
from Google. I hope they will still try to pursue their project, even if
not paid. Extra credit goes to Matthew Ludlum for trying very hard to
get a Mapnik mentor in order to followup the Generalization algorithm
(how icons/labels are drawn at what zoom level), sorry that it did not
work out, but with only 4 slots it would have been difficult anyway.
-Support for OSM data in SUAS MapServer
Qian Min Dr. Franz-Josef Behr
-Connecting external opening times from wikis with openstreetmap
Johannes Böck Sebastian Spaeth
-Replication of the Geoname-Database
Veronica Wendlik Hakan Tandogan
Welcome to the new community members, we hope to see their progress
documented in blogs/wikis and in weekly progress reports (once the
coding season starts). People, give them a helping hand if needed, we
all know how steep the OSM learning curve can be.
