[Biopython-dev] GSoC Student Applicant

[Wibowo Arindrarto]

Hello Biopython-dev,

I'm Bow, a Genomics <http://www.cgdb.nl> Master's Student from Utrecht
University. I'm one of the students interested in working in SearchIO, as
mentioned previously by Peter. The reason for my interest is simply because
I think the feature would be very useful for a lot of people working in
biology (with Biopython, of course). I'm currently discussing my options
and ideas with Peter, but I would also like to tell the community of my
GSoC intentions.

I've been working with Python for almost two years now, publishing some of
my programs online in my Github account (http://www.github.com/bow). One of
them is actually a contribution to Biopython's 1.58 release last year, the
SeqIO parser for ABI trace files. Since then, I've been continuously
learning more about Python to prepare myself for more challenging tasks,
this one included.

That's all for a short (re-)introduction from me. I'm looking forward for
an opportunity to contribute more along the summer :).

Cheers,
Bow
