[BioRuby] Announcing the SciRuby Summer Coding Fellowship

[John Woods]

Hi Pjotr,

I'll discuss having our fellow participate in some of your meetings with
the SciRuby team. I think the weekly meetings suggestion is a very good
one, and we definitely do pay attention to how BioRuby handles its GSoC
fellows.

We do blog periodically. You can find it here: http://sciruby.com/blog/
I'll make sure that blogging is also a requirement for our fellow.

Cheers,
John
