03:59:22 <hi_man_> hi
03:59:29 <hi_man_> any mentor please?
04:00:59 <rweait1> hi hi_man.  A bit late for the smart folks, but I'm here.  try your luck.
04:10:12 <hi_man_> oh
04:10:19 <hi_man_> I knew I am late
04:10:34 <hi_man_> is there any way I can be useful to mapnik?
04:11:12 <hi_man_> I know almost all of the projects has been decided
04:11:40 <hi_man_> but still it is my request can you tell me any area where I can try my luck?
04:14:04 <hi_man_> thanks for responding
04:14:10 <hi_man_> though late
04:14:28 <rweait1> hi_man_ sorry I'm not a gsoc mentor, so I don't have anything official that I can tell you.
04:14:33 <hi_man_> may I ask you is there any way I can be useful to mapnik?
04:14:47 <hi_man_> that is fine
04:14:53 <rweait1> Sure. how familiar are you with the project?
04:15:31 <hi_man_> I am familiar some bit only( I cannot say much) but I am eager to learn.
04:15:57 <hi_man_> unfortunetly I was ill to read somthing about project.
04:16:05 <rweait1> And which FLOSS projects are you most involved with?
04:17:17 <hi_man_> I have never got "involved" in any of the projects. This is my first time in open source coding..to be frank.
04:17:35 <hi_man_> though I have some working experience otherwise
04:17:42 <rweait1> which are your strongest languages?
04:18:02 <hi_man_> java c python lex yacc make shell
04:18:44 <rweait1> Cool.  have you been looking for java projects as well?
04:19:17 <hi_man_> to be frank..why I do not know I liked mapnik..I am ready to do java project as well
04:20:48 <hi_man_> in fact I like java and python the most among them
04:20:56 <rweait1> as I said, I don't have any official guidance for you.  (And I don't know what the deadlines are) You best bet to contact somebody here will be Monday and or Tuesday during UTC-5 office hours.
04:21:12 <rweait1> But if I may offer some friendly advice?
04:21:20 <hi_man_> that will be great
04:21:39 <hi_man_> I will be very greatful to you for that
04:22:40 <rweait1> A candidate might make it very easy for a mentor, if they were to find something in the project, something very specific, that is of interest to the candidate, and a possible project for gsoc.
04:23:34 <rweait1> And you might find interesting in the bug reports.
04:23:48 <rweait1> I'm sure this would apply to most any project.
04:23:56 <rweait1> Does that make any sense to you?
04:24:28 <hi_man_> oh I think you are saying that I may see the bug reports to find any project of my interest
04:24:32 <hi_man_> am I correct?
04:24:51 <rweait1> sure.
04:25:11 <rweait1> There might be something in the bug reports that you find very interesting.
04:25:22 <hi_man_> so can you please guide me to where I can have the bug reports in mapnik?
04:25:31 <rweait1> For any project.
04:25:42 <hi_man_> ok that is fine too
04:25:58 <rweait1> Mapnik uses trac, so trac.mapnik.org is the place to start.
04:26:13 <hi_man_> oh thanks
04:26:18 <hi_man_> I will use it
04:26:21 <rweait1> Good luck with your studies, and good luck with gsoc.
04:27:02 <hi_man_> if you do not mind, can I have your email ID(happy with gmail) so that I can have some frindly suggestion from you?
04:27:37 <hi_man_> it is ok if it is not fine
04:27:42 <rweait1> hi_man_ you can find me here fairly often.
04:27:53 <hi_man_> ok
04:27:57 <hi_man_> that works
04:28:03 <rweait1> Where in the world are you hi_man_?   If I may ask?
04:28:13 <hi_man_> I am in India,
04:28:20 <hi_man_> reading in IIT Kanpur
04:28:36 <rweait1> I know some folks from IIT Kanpur.
04:28:52 <hi_man_> that is great
04:28:53 <rweait1> I met them at a competition in Lucknow a few years back.
04:28:57 <hi_man_> atually
04:29:01 <rweait1> not sure if they are still there.
04:29:13 <hi_man_> oh.. may be they are still here
04:29:13 <rweait1> I'm in Canada.  Near Toronto.
04:29:21 <hi_man_> that is great
04:29:29 <hi_man_> I have a friend in Canada
04:30:00 <cgs_bob> hi_man: hi there.  I'm just a guy who just looked at the mapnik gsoc ideas website.  you might be interested in this:  http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Ideas
04:30:21 <rweait1> Thank you cgs_bob.
04:31:08 <cgs_bob> rweait1: glad to help.  looking forward to some cool stuff from gsoc2010 :)

13:52:00 <ser> hi, using html5, inside a browser i can store sqlite database
13:52:17 <ser> how to enable it spatialy?
13:53:32 <ser> i want to store values for squares, 500x500m big. from the gps i want to read my position and get a velue for particular point which is a value for the square
13:53:44 <rweait1> ser, this is a wild guess.
13:53:47 <rweait1> http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/
13:54:02 <rweait1> Will spatialite spatialite-gis work?
13:54:14 <ser> i read about it but: in web browser i have no spatailite libraries
13:54:23 <ser> only plain sql
13:54:31 <rweait1> :(
14:07:44 <ser> did you ever use geohash, chaps?
