Hello,
One project position is open at the Department of Aerospace Engineering,
IIT Bombay for the visualization of weather data using open source
tools. The project will involve creating tools for the visualization of
atmospheric weather data using Mayavi. Mayavi is an open source,
interactive, 3D visualization tool written in Python. More information
on Mayavi is available:
https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi
In addition to directly working with Mayavi and its core development
team, the project will require working with and contributing to
several important open source projects like VTK (http://www.vtk.org),
Python (http://www.python.org), Traits and the Envisage application
framework (http://code.enthought.com).
Mayavi2 is packaged as part of Debian (testing) and many people all over
the world are using it. Mayavi2 was also featured on the front page of
the Python Magazine in December

Requirements
-------------
* knowledge of C and object oriented programming with C++.
* passion for 3D graphics, visualization, software engineering and
technology.
* passion for open source software.
* knowledge of Python is a plus.
You will need to work at IIT Bombay. If you are from outside Mumbai
accommodation will be provided on campus. Local Mumbai residents can
choose to stay at home.
The project ends in April 2009. The pay will be reasonable but depends
on how good you are. It might not match industry rates, but you will be
on the IITB campus. More details on the project are available here:

Please do get back to me if you are interested. Please also circulate
this to anyone who you think may be interested.
Thanks!
