Not sure about others (Python Software Foundation, etc) but might be worth checking into.

The Perl Foundation and the Python foundation have been accepted. I guess there isn't a Java Foundation, and if there is a Ruby one it hasn't been accepted or hasn't applied. However, Ruby on Rails has been accepted. Don't know how open they would be a Bioruby project. -hilmar On Mar 18, 2009, at 3:08 PM, Chris Fields wrote: > Hilmar, > > The idea was floated on the google SOC list that language-specific > organizations that have been accepted may potentially take > bioinformatics-related applications.

It's a pretty tough year to apply - Google is reducing the number of accepted organizations compared to last year by more than 20, and in addition they wanted to accept a few new ones, so a significant number of orgs who participated last year would have had to be rejected already. There were about 400 applying orgs, of which 150 got accepted. So we didn't make it among the few new orgs, but achieving that was a tall order to start with. It seems like we didn't make any mistake that one can easily point at, but we also weren't lucky enough to rise to one of the few spots given to new orgs. On the positive side of things, I'm sure this application got us into the books, and given the feedback on a positive note, and we can try again and harder next year. The project ideas don't have to be for naught; there are other organizations, such as NESCent, Perl Foundation, and Python Foundation, that did get accepted and some of which have already offered to host those in scope for their participation. So if you want to make your project happen and it fits underneath one of those (or you can make it fit), it's up to you now to take charge of that. Thanks to everyone who helped getting us in shape, I've enjoyed putting this together and I'd be up for it again next year provided everyone else is too. BTW I'm going to make the archives of this list public now.
