Farallon Geographics Mentors Arches Geospatial Project for Google Summer of Code
Farallon Geographics has been selected to be a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code for the Arches geospatial cultural heritage project.
San Francisco, CA, March 04, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Farallon Geographics is excited to announce that it has been selected to be a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code for the Arches geospatial cultural heritage project. They are looking forward to an exciting summer with awesome contributions from students from the international community.
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to come up with interesting, non-trivial problems/solutions or enhancements for some of the most important open source projects and work on them over the summer. The Arches Geospatial Asset Management for Cultural Heritage was selected for 2014.
Participants in the Google Summer of Code get support from the Arches community plus a Farallon Geographics mentor who and acts as their primary guide to help them stay on track to meet their goals. In addition to a primary mentor, students also receive help from Farallon Geographics subject-area experts including experts in front-end/JavaScript, Python, geospatial database developers, web development and Elasticsearch. Farallon CEO Dennis Wuthrich (the architect of Arches) will help students to understand the project and how their efforts can impact the wider Cultural Heritage community. This is an incredible opportunity for students to get involved with the Arches project and get technical mentoring along the way.
The archesproject.org/ideas page should be reviewed. The ideas there are meant as starting points. Students are encouraged to review these ideas in much more detail and then give their suggestions and even detailed plans on how they want to proceed. Ideas can be added to the list in the Arches community discussion forum.
Anyone interested in cultural heritage and with some web programming should check out the project. Knowledge of Python for server-side development and JavaScript plus standard CSS3/HTML5 knowledge for front-end development is important. Familiarity with Django and/or with Model-View-Controller (MVC) patterns is a plus as is familiarity with JSON, which is used for data transfer between client and server.
