Hi all,

VCF
datapoints"

Congratulations to our accepted students!  Thanks very much to all the
students who applied, we very much appreciate your hard work.

Today marks the start of the Community Bonding Period.  Official work
starts on May 23rd, and until then, students should prepare for their
projects: get on the project mailing lists, solidify your plans, figure out
where all the version control repositories are and which branch or fork
you'll be working on, and start doing preparatory work.

Students: if you have not done so already, make sure you have subscribed to
the OBF GSoC email list at:
http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc

This list is for discussions among students and mentors, and for
administrative
announcements from me or my co-administrators.

Here's to a great 2014 Summer of Code,

Eric & Raoul
