GSoC 2014 with GNOME Maps !!
01 May 2014I have been selected for GSoC this year with GNOME. My submitted Proposal is here and a very brief description for GNOME is here.
I will be working this summer on GNOME Maps.
My project will aim at displaying relevant Points of Interest (POI) near an area at the innermost zoom levels according to these mockups.
I will be mentored by Mattias Bengtsson and co-mentored by Jonas Danielsson. Mattias was the one to start the GNOME Maps application and was also a GSoC'13 student who worked on Routing for Maps and Jonas is currently the co-maintainer for the Maps.
I will be publishing my changes at Code Repo and specifically the POI Branch.
I will also be working with two other students Dario Di Nucci and Damian Nohales who have also been selected for GSoC this year to work on GNOME Maps. Dario will be working on Adding Routing support for via points and Damian on Foursquare and Facebook Check-In integration.
So, a lot of good stuff is coming up for GNOME Maps 3.14. Jonas has depicted the same with examples through his blogpost.
I am really excited to be a part of the GNOME community.
