OL3-Google-Maps-GSoC 2017 Ideas

2017-03-10T18:19:55Z

Wiki-Adube:

This page lists some ideas for the 2017 Google Summer of Code program with [http://mapgears.github.io/ol3-google-maps/ ol3-google-maps], i.e. OLGM.

Your ideas are welcome as well!

== Cleaner way to manage Google Maps layers ==

=== Mentors ===

* Alexandre Dubé
* Raphaël Gagnon

=== Description ===

The idea is about having a cleaner way to deal with Google Maps layers within the library. The way it is currently done brings a lot of limitations. Having a way to deal with those layers without any limitations would be the main goal.

=== Technical Description ===

Here's how the library works: The OpenLayers' map is put on top of the Google Maps map as a control that takes 100% of the map. The navigation tools of Google Maps are all deactivated. Those from OpenLayers are active, so zooming or panning the map comes from the navigation tools of OpenLayers. The synchronization of the animations between Google Maps and OpenLayers is not always perfect.

In an attempt to make the animation more "fluid", the layers from OpenLayers are rendered by Google Maps instead. This is a nice feature, but comes with limitations. For example, in OpenLayers you can create clustered vector features. This is not managed by the OLGM library, i.e. we would need to make the same thing using the Google Maps API.

Having a cleaner way to deal with Google Maps layers would require a big turnover in the way things are currently managed within the library. This new "way" would be the one to use from there on, but the "old" way should be kept for backward compatibility support.

=== Expected Outcome ===

* Be able to use OpenLayers with a Google Maps layer without any limitations and with perfect synchronization of the navigation animations.
* This may require features that are only available in recent browsers
* It is expected that some older browsers may not be able to support this new feature.

=== Required skills ===

* JavaScript
* ES6 (ECMAScript 6)
* OpenLayers
* Google Maps JavaScript API

=== Difficulty Rating ===

The difficulty can be categorized as "normal".

=== Tasks ===

Here's a list of tasks that should be accomplished. Some are not directly linked with the idea, but would make the library more robust and more usable by users.

* have a cleaner way to manage Google Maps layers within OLGM without having to create sibling components within Google Maps
* ensures the perfect animation synchronization of both OpenLayers and Google Maps while zooming and panning
* support more features within the library, such as clusters and other features mentioned under the "limitations" of the library
* convert the code to ES6
* remove all dependencies to the Closure Library
* support the latest version of OpenLayers
* various bug fixes that have been raised on GitHub by users of the library
* various features that have been asked on GitHub by users of the library

== OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2017 ==

The [http://www.osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders and the future of the geospatial industry; show us what you've got!

* '''Students: check out the [[Google Summer of Code Recommendations for Students]] page. If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentors via the OSGeo-SoC mailing list''' ([[#How to get in contact via mailing lists|see below]]) And look at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities GSoC Roles and Responsibilities ] to understand a successfull teamwork and interplay of project, mentors and students.

* There is a [https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/flyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

* Ok, [[OSGeo]] is involved in working with maps and things, but what kind of projects does it really do? Have a look at the [http://planet.osgeo.org/ live blog feed] to see what people are working on right now.

* Mentors, there's an additional link providing some tips and specifying your responsibilities on the main OSGeo [[Google_Summer_of_Code_2017_Administrative]] wiki page.

== A Mentor's Responsibilities ==

Being a mentor can take anywhere from 2-10 hours a week of your time depending on the student (it really ''is'' in your best interest to take on the strongest students you can find :). You must have the time to be responsive and an advocate for the student. No matter how cool the project is and how much your team needs the job done, if you can't commit to supporting it, experience shows that the best thing to do is not start it, i.e. even with the best of intentions don't set a student up to fail. Long story short, student projects simply can't go ahead without proper mentoring support.

Every student project will also have a '''backup mentor''', this person should come from your programming team and should at minimum keep up to date with the student's weekly developments. The best way is if the student is well integrated into your development team from the start, it lessens the workload on you and betters the buy-in from the rest of the community once you're ready for the final code merge.

You '''must''' be available at some time during the '''midterm and final evaluation period'''. If you will be away during these time periods please arrange with the OSGeo org admins and your backup mentor so that one of us can fill in your answers for you. These are hard cutoffs -- evaluations ''must'' be filed within these dates.

== Guides for mentors ==

* [http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/ The GSoC Mentoring Guide] - A must. Do get all useful info and tips from many years of experience from GSoC mentors.
* [http://people.gnome.org/~federico/docs/summer-of-code-mentoring-howto/ GNOME GSoC Mentoring HOWTO]
* [http://emptysqua.re/blog/mentoring/ An excellent summary of mentoring, from A. Jesse Jiryu Davis]

== Tips for mentors ==

This section is for collecting suggestions on best practices, from mentors to other mentors. If you have good / bad experiences in mentoring, please share here! Remember that this is a public page, respect the privacy of the people.

=== Good ideas ===

* Test students before selection. Challenge them with small programming tasks or bug fixes. This will help them getting familiar with the dev environment well before GSoC starts, and helps mentors understand if they are capable.
* Be patient.

=== Bad ideas ===

== Learn more ==

Montreal Code Sprint 2011 Agenda

2011-03-17T18:21:56Z

Wiki-Adube: /* GeoPrisma / OpenLayers / GeoExt */

== Theme ==

[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011]] : '''The Rendez-vous of the Tribes'''

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

== MapServer ==

* 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
* SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
* rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
* Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)
* Text rendering => always use labelpathobj (thomas)
* rasterBufferObj: premultiplied or not? (thomas, frankw)
* INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
* Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
* layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
* use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
* profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

== PostGIS ==

* 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type even if it means putting off til 2.1)
* 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
* Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
* Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain
* Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
* 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
* shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)
while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808
got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

Also add more regression tests for shp2pgsql,pgsql2shp
* Incubation issues -- not fun stuff but needs to be addressed, get list of all contributors, decide if each file will have blanket copyright with reference to contributor file, what to do with files that have no copyright markings

== PostGIS raster ==

*Ticket fixes Pierre: (792 & 762), 825, 633, 766, 651, 490,
*Ticket fixes David: 582
*Ticket fixes Jorge: 851, 837
*Look at ticket 650 (GDAL Polygonize with real values) with Frank (Pierre)
*ST_SetRotation & ST_Rotation (ticket 482) (David)
*rt_raster_deserialize for header only in order to make get functions faster
*pl/pgSQL script fixes (tickets 643, 644, 645) (Pierre)
*ST_MapAlgebra optimization & neighbourhood (David)
*ST_Intersection optimization (David)
*Optional tickets 165, 301, 484

== GDAL/OGR ==

* SWIG/Ruby bindings? (JimK)
* Merge the two MrSID Drivers (Raster and Lidar) into one

== libLAS ==

* Discussions
** hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
** mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
** mpg to give a small code walkthrough via projector
** Try to get FrankW to discuss features/failures/successes of both GDAL and OGR's driver models
** Investigate and discuss using boost-style traits for class description
** Investigate Point Cloud Library's (PCL) template-driven point classes and their applicability and/or adaptability for libPC.

* Technical support / Infrastructure
** Get hg access for all sprint participants
** Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
** hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
** Add CMake detection for MG4

[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011]] : '''The Rendez-vous of the Tribes'''

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

== MapServer ==

* 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
* SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
* rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
* Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)
* Text rendering => always use labelpathobj (thomas)
* rasterBufferObj: premultiplied or not? (thomas, frankw)
* INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
* Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
* layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
* use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
* profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

== PostGIS ==

* 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type even if it means putting off til 2.1)
* 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
* Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
* Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain
* Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
* 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
* shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)
while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808
got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

Also add more regression tests for shp2pgsql,pgsql2shp
* Incubation issues -- not fun stuff but needs to be addressed, get list of all contributors, decide if each file will have blanket copyright with reference to contributor file, what to do with files that have no copyright markings

== PostGIS raster ==

*Ticket fixes Pierre: (792 & 762), 825, 633, 766, 651, 490,
*Ticket fixes David: 582
*Ticket fixes Jorge: 851, 837
*Look at ticket 650 (GDAL Polygonize with real values) with Frank (Pierre)
*ST_SetRotation & ST_Rotation (ticket 482) (David)
*rt_raster_deserialize for header only in order to make get functions faster
*pl/pgSQL script fixes (tickets 643, 644, 645) (Pierre)
*ST_MapAlgebra optimization & neighbourhood (David)
*ST_Intersection optimization (David)
*Optional tickets 165, 301, 484

== GDAL/OGR ==

* SWIG/Ruby bindings? (JimK)
* Merge the two MrSID Drivers (Raster and Lidar) into one

== libLAS ==

* Discussions
** hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
** mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
** mpg to give a small code walkthrough via projector
** Try to get FrankW to discuss features/failures/successes of both GDAL and OGR's driver models
** Investigate and discuss using boost-style traits for class description
** Investigate Point Cloud Library's (PCL) template-driven point classes and their applicability and/or adaptability for libPC.

* Technical support / Infrastructure
** Get hg access for all sprint participants
** Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
** hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
** Add CMake detection for MG4
** test harness for the command line apps

* Development
** Crib up the text, MG4, and BAG drivers
** Add MG4/L support to libPC

Montreal Code Sprint 2011 Agenda

2011-03-15T18:47:29Z

Wiki-Adube: /* GeoPrisma / OpenLayers / GeoExt */

== Theme ==

[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011]] : '''The Rendez-vous of the Tribes'''

Sending out a clear message that we'd like to see members of all OSGeo tribes (C/C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) join forces for the advancement of OSGeo technologies. Last year's sprint in NYC helped foster synergies between the tribes and we want this to continue even stronger.

== MapServer ==

* 6.0 Release work (documentation, polishing and bug fixes)
* SVG Symbols (assefa, zak, thomas)
* rendering features with offset + leader (assefa, zak, thomas)
* Outputformat refactoring (don't create and initialize all default outputformats at each request) (thomas)
* Text rendering => always use labelpathobj (thomas)
* rasterBufferObj: premultiplied or not? (thomas, frankw)
* INSPIRE View Services support for WMS (TomK, assefa, etc.)
* Ruby/SWIG MapScript (JimK)
* layer level GEOMTRANSFORM (Steve)
* use case snippets (see OpenLayers as an example) (Steve)
* profiling 6.0 ahead of benchmarking exercise (need feedback from Jeff/Daniel on where we sucked)

== PostGIS ==

* 3D index issues outline support whether we'll have one or 2 types of parallel indices (prefer one type even if it means putting off til 2.1)
* 9.1 KNN GIST are we going to do or punt to 2.1
* Left over issues with EMPTY and new more ISO compliant WKT display of geometries
* Make geometry_columns a view rather than table - harmonize legacy with new to cause least pain
* Possibility of preliminary X3D support in 2.0 instead of 2.1 (Olivier) ( http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/854 )
* 3D topological serialization for PolyhedralSurface and TIN (Olivier)
* shp2pgsql (-gui)/pgsql2shp - (Jeff Adams)
while you are at it would be really nice to investigate http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/808
got broken in 2.0 and a real show-stopper for PostGIS 2.0 release

Also add more regression tests for shp2pgsql,pgsql2shp
* Incubation issues -- not fun stuff but needs to be addressed, get list of all contributors, decide if each file will have blanket copyright with reference to contributor file, what to do with files that have no copyright markings

== PostGIS raster ==

*Ticket fixes Pierre: (792 & 762), 825, 633, 766, 651, 490,
*Ticket fixes David: 582
*Ticket fixes Jorge: 851, 837
*Look at ticket 650 (GDAL Polygonize with real values) with Frank (Pierre)
*ST_SetRotation & ST_Rotation (ticket 482) (David)
*rt_raster_deserialize for header only in order to make get functions faster
*pl/pgSQL script fixes (tickets 643, 644, 645) (Pierre)
*ST_MapAlgebra optimization & neighbourhood (David)
*ST_Intersection optimization (David)
*Optional tickets 165, 301, 484

== GDAL/OGR ==

* SWIG/Ruby bindings? (JimK)
* Merge the two MrSID Drivers (Raster and Lidar) into one

== libLAS ==

* Discussions
** hobu to talk about technologies, intents, and targeted platforms for libPC
** mpg to discuss/demonstrate the Stage model that libPC sets up
** mpg to give a small code walkthrough via projector
** Try to get FrankW to discuss features/failures/successes of both GDAL and OGR's driver models
** Investigate and discuss using boost-style traits for class description
** Investigate Point Cloud Library's (PCL) template-driven point classes and their applicability and/or adaptability for libPC.

* Technical support / Infrastructure
** Get hg access for all sprint participants
** Bootstrap people building libPC on their own computers (writing docs as we go)
** hobu to stand up libpc.org with Trac/HG/Sphinx
** Add CMake detection for MG4
** test harness for the command line apps

* Development
** Crib up the text, MG4, and BAG drivers
** Add MG4/L support to libPC
** Plan for adding octree libpc::Stage
** finish the native LAS driver
** flesh out the dump routines for each major class
** light up pcinfo

== Room Share ==

If you would like to room share,

# Reserve a room at the hotel, choosing a type with more than one bed.
# Put your name in this section, indicating the amount of space in your room.

Put your names below:

* example entry: B has a triple room, needs two roommates.

Special offer: I, [[User:Aleroux|Alexandre Leroux]], can provide free lodging for the whole event with these parameters: one double bed, private access (we'll let you a key), private kitchen with fridge, private shower and toilet. Internet wifi included. It's a 2-minutes walk from the Snowdon subway station, making it easy to go to the Code Sprint. That would be on the basement of where my wife, daughter and myself live. If interested, contact me directly.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible.

== FAQ ==

* Is the Montreal Code Sprint just a coding event?
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?
** No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

== Social Events ==

* Monday March 14, 2011 @5pm: OSGeo-Québec 5 à 7 / Code Sprint Ice breaker. On the 2nd floor of http://www.mcleanspub.com/ 1210 Peel St, Montreal (450m South of the Cantlies Suites hotel on Peel Street)

(Please do not hesitate to add locations to this list)

== Getting to the Sprint ==

=== From Trudeau International Airport (YUL) ===

Unfortunately there is no shuttle that goes straight from the airport to the hotel.

Here are some options (See also [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=45.454231,-73.748131&daddr=1110+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+QC+H3A+1G6,+Canada&hl=en&geocode=%3BFRxMtgIdbU-d-ynR5QLZQBrJTDE5mLJmp5RZkQ&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=13&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=02%2F25%2F11&time=7:22am&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&sll=45.469521,-73.682384&sspn=0.099197,0.222301&ie=UTF8&ll=45.500813,-73.574409&spn=0.099141,0.222301&z=13&iwloc=statictransit:&start=0 Google Maps]):

==== Option 1 - Express Bus 747 + Subway ====

http://www.admtl.com/Passengers/AccessAndParking/STMBuses.aspx

Take the 747 express bus from the Airport. The bus goes to Berri-UQAM, but do not go all the way to Berri-UQAM, you need to get off at the Lionel-Groulx stop, and then connect to the Metro Green Line (1) towards Station Honoré-Beaugrand. Get off at Station Peel (Stop ID: 10138). You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

Cost: 8$. At the airport, tickets are sold at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) counter on the international arrivals level.

==== Option 2 - Taxi ====

http://www.admtl.com/Passengers/AccessAndParking/TaxisAndLimousines.aspx

It seems that the simplest option is a taxi: there is a fixed price of 38$ for a ride downtown in the area of the hotel. (The person at the hotel insisted that this is a fixed price and if the driver asks for more then he is trying to screw you)

==== Option 3 - Train + Subway ====

VIA Rail offers a train shuttle from their Dorval train station to downtown (towards Montreal Central Station). The Dorval train station is not directly on the airport so you need to take the "AirConnect" shuttle to get to the train. More details here:

http://www.viarail.ca/en/useful-info/related-services/montreal-airport-shuttle

"After landing, go to the domestic or international flights terminal exit, where you'll see a clearly marked AirConnect stop. The shuttle comes by every 20 minutes, and will take you to the Dorval station for free."

Then Google suggests that the shortest route is to get off the train at Metro (Subway) Station Vendome, then take red line (2) towards Henri Bourassa and get off at Lionel Groulx. Finally take metro green line (1) towards Honoré-Beaugrand and get off at Peel. You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

== Getting to the Sprint ==

=== From Trudeau International Airport (YUL) ===

Unfortunately there is no shuttle that goes straight from the airport to the hotel.

Here are some options (See also [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=45.454231,-73.748131&daddr=1110+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+QC+H3A+1G6,+Canada&hl=en&geocode=%3BFRxMtgIdbU-d-ynR5QLZQBrJTDE5mLJmp5RZkQ&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=13&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=02%2F25%2F11&time=7:22am&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&sll=45.469521,-73.682384&sspn=0.099197,0.222301&ie=UTF8&ll=45.500813,-73.574409&spn=0.099141,0.222301&z=13&iwloc=statictransit:&start=0 Google Maps]):

==== Option 1 - Express Bus 747 + Subway ====

Take the 747 express bus from the Airport. The bus goes to Berri-UQAM, but do not go all the way to Berri-UQAM, you need to get off at the Lionel-Groulx stop, and then connect to the Metro Green Line (1) towards Station Honoré-Beaugrand. Get off at Station Peel (Stop ID: 10138). You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.

Cost: 8$. At the airport, tickets are sold at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) counter on the international arrivals level.

==== Option 2 - Taxi ====

It seems that the simplest option is a taxi: there is a fixed price of 38$ for a ride downtown in the area of the hotel. (The person at the hotel insisted that this is a fixed price and if the driver asks for more then he is trying to screw you)

==== Option 3 - Train + Subway ====

VIA Rail offers a train shuttle from their Dorval train station to downtown (towards Montreal Central Station). The Dorval train station is not directly on the airport so you need to take the "AirConnect" shuttle to get to the train. More details here:

http://www.viarail.ca/en/useful-info/related-services/montreal-airport-shuttle

"After landing, go to the domestic or international flights terminal exit, where you'll see a clearly marked AirConnect stop. The shuttle comes by every 20 minutes, and will take you to the Dorval station for free."

Then Google suggests that the shortest route is to get off the train at Metro (Subway) Station Vendome, then take red line (2) towards Henri Bourassa and get off at Lionel Groulx. Finally take metro green line (1) towards Honoré-Beaugrand and get off at Peel. You are only 150m from Hotel Le Cantlie Suites.
