From p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com Wed Apr 24 15:19:48 2013 From: p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com (Peter Cock) Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:19:48 +0100 Subject: [Biopython-announce] Biopython GSoC 2013 applications via NESCent Message-ID: To all the Biopythoneers, For the last few years Biopython has participated in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program under the umbrella of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF): https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/ https://github.com/OBF/GSoC Unfortunately like quite a few previously accepted organisations, this year the OBF not accepted. Google has kept the total about the same year on year, so this is probably simply a slot rotation to get some new organisations involved. The good news (for those not following the Biopython-dev mailing list) is we have an alternative option agreed with the good people at NESCent, as we did back in 2009: http://biopython.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code http://informatics.nescent.org/wiki/Phyloinformatics_Summer_of_Code_2013 I'd like to thank Eric for co-ordinating this, and encourage any interested potential students to sign up to the Biopython development list and NESCent's Google+ group as soon as possible (if you haven't done so already): http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biopython-dev https://plus.google.com/communities/105828320619238393015 Google are already accepting student applications, and the deadline is Friday 3 May. That doesn't leave very long for asking feedback and talking to potential mentors - which is essential for a competitive proposal. Thank you for your interest, Peter From p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com Wed Apr 24 19:19:48 2013 From: p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com (Peter Cock) Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:19:48 +0100 Subject: [Biopython-announce] Biopython GSoC 2013 applications via NESCent Message-ID: To all the Biopythoneers, For the last few years Biopython has participated in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program under the umbrella of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF): https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/ https://github.com/OBF/GSoC Unfortunately like quite a few previously accepted organisations, this year the OBF not accepted.
