[Bioperl-l] Google Summer of Code: Call for Bio* Volunteers

[James Estill]

I can also say that GSOC is a great experience from the student point of view. I was a student working with Hilmar as my mentor in 2007.

  It's a wonderful program to be involved in, and Hilmar did a wonderful  
  job last year organizing everything.  I encourage anyone interested to  
  apply as a student or take on the role of a mentor; GSoC is a great  
  opportunity both as a mentor and as a student.  Not to mention Mira  
  Han also wrote a wonderful bit of code (the phyloxml parser and  
  related modules), and we all got great T-shirts!
  
  Hilmar, is there a particular focus on projects this year?  I think  
  Google announced earlier than normal to allow a bit more time for  
  abstracts and such.
