[Biojava-l] Fwd: Google Summer of Coding: Java project

[omer f]

To all it may concern,

Dear BioJava,

My name Omer Frieman and i am a student of Computer Science (B.Sc) and
International Politics at the Hebrew university in Jerusalem, Israel.
Last week, I attended a conference about Google SOC, Which i find most
interesting and something that i would like to experience.
I am in the second year of my degree, and so far i have learned the program
languages: Java, C, C++ and in addition Object Oriented Programming in Java.
Though, i have no working experience in programming.

While searching the list of SOC projects i came across the Bioinformatics
Foundation Projects.
I found the Java Project very interesting, First, for the content - the
research subject of Bio-informatics, and Second, I was looking specifically
for a Java project for gaining experience in it,

Before sending my application with the short coding exercise, i send you
this mail to Introduce myself.
My only concern is,  will My lack of experience could hurt my chances to be
accepted to the project.
I would appreciate  your opinion in that matter.

Furthermore, i was wondering how do i connect the Project mentor (Peter
Troshin).

Sincerely,
 Omer.
