[udig-devel] GSoC Interest: Neo4j in uDIG and Geotools

[Leandro Leal Parente <leal.parente@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm Leandro Leal Parente, 21, from Brazil. I'm on 4th year of Computer Science 
on UFG University. Today I work at the Laboratory of image processing and GIS with computer 
support and program development. I developed  the lab's website
 and Webmap.

I have 
intermediate experience with Java and PHP languages. My English knowledge is intermediate either. I have facility in understanding others source codes. I worked with other Open Source 
projects like: Joomla,
 Geotools, uDig, Mapserver and a 
Brazilian project called i3geo.

I developed a Catalog plugin for uDig to access a implementation of distributed rtree, developed by our team at the UFG University. This system stores spatial data in a computer cluster. We developed the uDig plugin to visualize the spatial data stored in this system. Internally distributed rtree use Geotools to store the spatial data.


I worked on 
GSoc at 2008 at the OpenJUMP project. My project was a development of a "Graphical Modeling for Geographic Data Processing"
 for OpenJUMP based on SEXTANTE GIS on gvSIG. I didn't finish my project because the SEXTANTE was ported to the 
OpenJUMP.

I'm interest on this project, because I think the graph database is a good way to store spatial data.
I never used the Neo4J before, but I will study it.

What I need to submit my gsoc proposal ?

Thanks a lot,
Leandro Leal
