[OSRM-talk] Want to contribute to OpenStreetMap in GSoC 2023

[Veenit Kumar]

Hi everyone,

I am Veenit. I am enthusiastic about contributing to OpenStreetMap in GSoC
2023.

I have participated in GSoC 2021 as a Student Developer. I have contributed
to the pgRouting project under OSGeo - Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
Here's my project and work [1] and [2].

pgRouting extends the PostGIS/PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide
geospatial routing and other network analysis functionality.


While contributing to pgRouting, I came across OpenStreetMap. I used this
tool also [3]. It is an import tool for OpenStreetMap data to the pgRouting
database.

So, I have a good idea about OpenStreetMap, how it works and how we can
export its data.

I have already created an account and started mapping some features.
Currently, I am understanding and familiarizing myself with the OSM data
model and methods of mapping, development environment, etc in detail.


I am looking forward to a project around Routing in OpenStreetMap this
year, as I have expertise in C++, routing, Python and Graph Theory and
algorithms.


I came across this project idea for GSoC'23: OSRM Python Bindings [4]. I
find this interesting as it matches my skillset, so I would love to jump on
and contribute to it.

I am currently going through README, setup and documentation of OSRM [5].


I would love to hear any comments and suggestions from you!


Cheers!

Veenit
