[OSM-talk] About GSOC 2012

[Graham Jones]

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in applying for GSoC with Openstreetmap.   This
list will be fine to ask questions.

Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

- It is important to understand the fundamentals of what OSM is, so if you
have not done so before, please start by creating an account and making
some improvements to the map in your local area.

- It would also be good to look at the OSM data structure.  Details of the
xml file format can be found on our wiki.

- The next stage is for you to develop a project proposal - our ideas
page<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012> lists
quite a few ideas, but these need some development to turn them into a
successful project proposal - you should be able to see our application
template on the Google GSoC web site.

Hope that helps.   Please feel free to ask more questions as you develop
your proposal.

Regards

Graham
