[Peter Cock]

Hi all,

I didn't think this was relevant to the BOSC announcement list,
but it is relevant to the OBF GSoC discussions.

> The National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB) was accepted into our 8th year of Google Summer of Code! We will be mentoring Cytoscape, WikiPathways, PathVisio, MedSavant, Virtual Cell, and other projects. Join us this summer in writing code for open source network biology projects.

> Potential Mentors:
> 1. If you think you might want to work with a student this summer to get more done on your network-related coding project, then let me know ASAP. Registered mentors are already off and running, but there is time this week to catch up.
>
> Potential Students:
> 1. Now is your time to shine. Get on over to our program page (see link above), browse the resource links, read the FAQ, and dive into the Project Ideas tab.
> 2. Research a few project ideas that catch your attention.
> 3. Formulate specific questions and original thoughts related to the ideas (or your own idea).
> 4. THEN contact your potential mentors via the provided contact information associated with each idea.
>
> Serious students should have 2-3 projects well-researched and be in touch with mentors BEFORE March 10. We will work with you to make the best possible application and give you specific feedback during the application period from March 10-21. Pro-tip: do not submit your first draft on the last day.
