[Geotools-devel] Request for SVN access

[Rueben S. <r_j...@ya...>]

To the geotools PMC,

As most of you know, I have been making small (hopefully positive)
contributions to the coordinate transformation module. All of my work to
date has been sent through Martin for checking and inclusion in
geotools. I was planning to request SVN access latter this summer when I
will (hopefully) be starting some new datum work, but I think Martin is
getting tired of me bugging him so I will ask now ;) 

For those that do not know much about me, I am currently a Masters
student studying biometrics (statistics and sampling) at the University
of British Columbia (UBC), Faculty of Forestry in Vancouver. My other
area of interest is GIS, which I studied at the BC institute of
technology (BCIT) 2 years ago. It was at BCIT where I was first
introduced to java, though I also took first year computer science
courses when I was an undergraduate student. Being a graduate student
means that I will likely not be making large contributions next fall and
spring (I have a thesis to work on).

If granted SVN access, I plan to still run large changes by Martin. My
knowledge of larger scale program design still needs more work, but most
of what I am doing is within the existing CTS framework (testing and
adding new projections or transforms). 

Unfortunately, I have not used CVS or SVN before (except to check out
code). However, the descriptions in the svn book look straight forward
and I am working on some more testScripts right now that would be good
to experiment with (they do not affect the build). I will also need to
start learning how to use Jalopy and other tools.

Like usual, I will not be at tomorrows IRC. I do not have access to an
IRC client at school and should be prepairing for an upcomming committee
meeting.
