[OSM-talk] Student Project Ideas

[Patrick Weber]

Hi list

This is my first post, as I only recently have become aware of OSM, but 
I am really impressed  with progress, and have been busy adding data on 
both my current home, South East London, and my native town of 
Luxembourg. I have posted the following idea to the Students project 
wiki page.  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Student_projects

I am a PhD Student at University College London, and have previously 
done a MSc in GIS at their Geomatics Department. As part of that MSc, 
students need to complete a Summer Term Project (Thesis). Subjects for 
these projects are quite varied, and interested students could take on 
projects related to OSM. As they are graded on the projects, there is a 
strong incentive for the students to deliver good results as well. I 
have a working relationship with various staff involved in the MSc 
still, and would be happy to coordinate project ideas and see if there 
is any interest from this years students.

The projects would run next summer. Please let me know if you think this 
is a good idea, obviously we need to coordinate this and make shure 
students get proper support both from the University and OSM if they 
want to take on a project.

Cheers

Patrick
