This year NESCent was fortunately to be able to accept seven students through GSoC and one through the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. Two of these GSoC projects are Biopython related: Codon Alignment and Analysis in Biopython Student: Zheng Ruan Mentors: Eric Talevich, Peter Cock http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/rzzmh12345/32001 Phylogenetics in Biopython: Filling in the gaps Student: Yanbo Ye http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/yeyanbo/45001 Mentors: Mark Holder, Jeet Sukumaran, Eric Talevich Thank you NESCent, and congratulations to Zheng Ruan and Yanbo Ye! I'm hoping you're already setting up a blog, which I hope you'll be able to use for roughly weekly progress reports during the summer - CC'd to the biopython-dev mailing list and the NESCent Phyloinformatics Summer of Code forum on Google+, http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biopython-dev https://plus.google.com/communities/105828320619238393015 An introduction to your project would be a great idea for your first post - here's Bow's from last year as an example: http://bow.web.id/blog/2012/04/google-summer-of-code-is-on/ http://bow.web.id/blog/2012/08/summers-over/ http://bow.web.id/blog/tag/gsoc/ The idea here is to keep the wider community informed about how your project is going. On behalf of the Biopython developers, congratulations! We're looking forward to another productive Summer of Code :) Peter From p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com Thu May 30 16:18:41 2013 From: p.j.a.cock at googlemail.com (Peter Cock) Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 17:18:41 +0100 Subject: [Biopython-announce] Biopython projects with NESCent for GSoC 2013 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear all, After the disappointing news that the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) was not accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) organisation this year, Biopython was fortunate to once again offer some projects with the NESCent team: http://informatics.nescent.org/wiki/Phyloinformatics_Summer_of_Code_2013 As always the student proposals have been very competitive, and we've not been able to take on everyone.
