New Project: PostGIS application to Missing People
Dear PostgreSQL community
Concept for a PostGIS application to Missing People:
This is a proposal for design a new concept for integrated PostGIS application
and how to implement features to improve tracking information about missing
people. This application will be useful in disaster scenarios, looking for
missing kids, rescue kidnapped people, human right watch, etc . This task surely
is not an easy one but I think it would be a great service to the global
community and I would really enjoy mentoring this project. That is my motivation.
I am heavily involved with many open source projects. I am a member of the Linux
User Group at Catholic University in Peru (TUXPUC) and the president of the
Peruvian Chapter of FreeCulture.org (Cultura Libre).
I am a qualified and experienced engineer. I am quite familiar with Java, C++,
Python, Eclipse IDE, many SQLs which I use very often to programming. I hold a
degree in Physics and a graduate diplom in Telecomunications.

Luis,
This is a proposal for design a new concept for integrated PostGIS
application and how to implement features to improve tracking information
about missing people. This application will be useful in disaster
scenarios, looking for missing kids, rescue kidnapped people, human right
watch, etc . This task surely is not an easy one but I think it would be a
great service to the global community and I would really enjoy mentoring
this project. That is my motivation.
Per my private e-mail, I think you misunderstood. I was suggesting that you
find a *student* to propose the project. Given that we, as a project, are
responsible for our mentors and the outcome of SoC projects, we really can't
accept mentors who are not familiar to us.
For that matter, mentors don't get to choose the projects. The students do.
We just choose what we want to accept.
If the student proposing the project speaks Spanish, that should not be a
problem.
