Make sure you have enough time to actually help a student over the summer 2. Sign up as a mentor for the Open Bioinformatics Foundation at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 3. Join the OBF Google Summer of Code mailing lists at: http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc and http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc-mentors Robert Buels 2012 OBF GSoC Org. Admin.

After your request to be a mentor is accepted by me, log into the GSoC web interface at http://www.google-melange.com (the same web application you used to sign up) and help look at and evaluate this year's student proposals.

The accepted students, their projects, and their mentors (in alphabetical order): Wibowo Arindrarto SearchIO Implementation in Biopython mentored by Peter Cock Lenna Peterson Diff My DNA: Development of a Genomic Variant Toolkit for Biopython mentored by Brad Chapman Marjan Povolni The worlds fastest parallelized GFF3/GTF parser in D, and an interfacing biogem plugin for Ruby mentored by Pjotr Prins, Francesco Strozzi, Raoul Bonnal Artem Tarasov Fast parallelized GFF3/GTF parser in C++, with Ruby FFI bindings mentored by Pjotr Prins, Francesco Strozzi, Raoul Bonnal Clayton Wheeler Multiple Alignment Format parser for BioRuby mentored by Francesco Strozzi and Raoul Bonnal As in every year, we received many great applications and ideas. However, funding and mentor resources are limited, and we were not able to accept as many as we would have liked. Our deepest thanks to all the students who applied: we sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into your applications, and hope you will still consider being a part of the OBF's open source projects, even without Google funding. I speak for myself and all of the mentors who read and scored applications when I say that we were truly honored by the number and quality of the applications we received. For the accepted students: congratulations! You have risen to the top of a very competitive application process. Now it's time to "put your money where your mouth is", as the saying goes. Let's get out there and write some great code this summer!
