Arpeggeo + Algora: funding contributors of the GeoStats.jl framework

juliohm · September 9, 2024, 8:27pm

At Arpeggeo® we are starting an experimental initiative to attract more contributors to the Julia community. In partnership with algora.io, we are introducing open-source bounties to the GeoStats.jl framework.

If you are a freelancer, or just want to make some extra cash besides your main job, look for open issues with the Bounty label on the JuliaEarth organization on GitHub.

Here is a first easy one to get used to the Algora workflow:

github.com/JuliaEarth/GeoIO.jl

Add `lenunit` option to `GeoIO.load`

I have an .obj file that was exported from a CAD program. The CAD software was …using mm as the unit. If I import it as a `SimpleMesh` using `GeoIO.load(filename).geometry`, it comes out with units of meters. Is it (or could it be) possible to specify the units in the call to `load`? And/or, is there an easy way to change the units of a mesh after creation? Right now I am using the inelegant way of loading the mesh, then creating a new mesh with a `fix_part_units` function defined like this: ```julia fix_unit(p) = Meshes.Point((ustrip.([coords(p).x, coords(p).y, coords(p).z]) .* u"mm")...) fix_part_units(msh) = SimpleMesh([fix_unit(v) for v in vertices(msh)], msh.topology) ``` I've tried searching the docs and source, but I can't find the functionalities I'm after. Sorry if I've missed something. I'm not familiar with all of the file formats, but I guess this point could apply to some other "unitless" formats as well.

The Algora founders gave us a 1 month trial to see if Julia developers will join the platform. Hope we can make it happen!

Please let me know if you have questions. I am also learning the platform to support you.

Example of a completed issue with bounty payment:

As a contributor you just need to create a PR and write /claim #1790 to get the payment after the PR is accepted by maintainers.

Is there any record of who is working on what, so I don’t step on someone’s toes? Maybe just the correspondences on the GitHub issues? Or is this just the wild west of bounty hunting?

Hi @kapple ! You can see who already submitted attempts in the algora dashboard I linked above.

The one in GeoArtifacts.jl is almost concluded. Try the other ones
