We'll be offering successful student contributors a $5000 USD Stipend, enabling them to focus on their project for three months. The project ideas range from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of 3D visualization and challenging cartography. More details at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014_Ideas We are also looking for good students for developing automated schematization functionalities for QGIS . This will then form platform for building future schematization research. If any of your students are interested please contact Dr Luciene Delazari.
