Hello all,
I'm very pleased and excited to announce that the Open Bioinformatics
Foundation has selected 6 very capable students to work on OBF projects
this summer as part of the Google Summer of Code program.
The accepted students, their projects, and their mentors (in
alphabetical order):
Justinas Vygintas Daugmaudis
Michele dos Santos da Silva
(2 students!)
Mocapy++Biopython: from data to probabilistic models of biomolecules
mentored by Thomas Hamelryck and Eric Talevich
Chuan Hock Koh
BioJava - Amino acids physico-chemical properties calculation
mentored by Peter Troshin, Andreas Prlic, and Jay Vyas
Michał Koziarski
Representing bio-objects and related information with images
(BioRuby)

Mikael Eric Trellet

Once again this 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!
Best regards,
Rob
