    My Experience With OSGeo and GCI On November 28,2017 I registered on Google Code In website which gives high school students an opportunity to get to know about Open Source by completing small sized tasks for the participating Organizations . This year about 25 organizations participated and OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation) was one of it.  OSGeo is serving as an umbrella to other Geospatial organizations such as Grass GIS , QGIS , MapServer , gvSIG , pgRouting , Open Layers and many more. I really enjoyed working with OSGeo as the community was really helpfull, Mentors was really working hard to help us Thank You Mentors and other students working with OSGeo, Like Ethan Zhao for Helping me! I still remember that I mistakenly claimed an beginner task of an other organization on first day, so I was only able to do 1 beginner task for OSGeo.  I completed 71 tasks in total and 70 for OSGeo.     Tasks Compl...

When GCI started I was very nervous to some extend, but since, with OSGeo I find ways to turn my nervousness into creativity and fun.  When I saw that OSGeo is participating in GCI-17, I Just dived into it. As it is Based on Open Source Geospatial Foundation and I love mapping, so i can say that this org was for me. I really enjoyed contributing to OSGeo.

My Work With OSGeo   Participating in GCI with OSGeo made me reali...
