[BioRuby] Announcing the SciRuby Summer Coding Fellowship

[Pjotr Prins]

Hi John,

That is awesome news! Google has set a right trend with these summer
of code initiatives. The OBF has quite some experience with mentoring
students, see

  http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Gsoc#Student_Progress_Reports

and one thing we thing very important is weekly meetings
between students (and mentors), and weekly blogs by the students.
These will be captured on http://biogems.info/.

It would be great your students participate in some of our meetings,
so we can exchange ideas on Ruby and performance (we use extensions
and parallel computing). Also I would like to invite your programme
to blog, and that we track those blogs.

Pj.
