Hello,
I'm new to Cesium and would like to contribute. At the moment, I don't have a particular area in mind but I'm excited to work in various interesting topics. So how should I start?
I'm also looking up to GSOC 2014 and perhaps do a project. Where should I get the latest news regarding it like the list of projects, mentors etc.?
Regards,
Kartik Kohli
Hi Kartik,
We are definitely always looking for people willing to help out. We have a “beginners” label in our list of GitHub issues specifically designed for developers who want to work on Cesium but are just starting out. Here’s a direct link to a filtered list of them:
https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues?labels=beginner&page=1&state=open
You can pick any one of them and start hacking away, but it’s probably a good idea to post a comment on the issue indicating that you are working on it, along with any questions you might have.
We also have a Contributor Guide on our wiki for helping configure your development environement: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/Contributor%27s-Guide
The most important thing you’ll need to do is sign and email us the Contributors license agreement (CLA). You can find that information here: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md For some reason the CLA links are broken but I’m looking into that now. We can’t take any code from you with a CLA on file.
Finally, while the page may be a little out of day, our GSOC ideas page is here: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-Ideas Of course students can also suggest their own ideas as well.
Hope that helps,
Matt
