<div dir="ltr">With the first GSoC deadline approaching, we should follow up on this now. Is there anyone who would be willing to mentor Serdar on this project?

<br>
I would assume the OBF will apply as a GSoC organisation<br>
again this year (although being accepted is not guaranteed<br>
of course), which would allow all the Bio* projects to offer<br>
student project as a group.<br>
<br>
This does not stop BioJava putting forward GSoC projects<br>
with another umbrella organisation (e.g. in case the OBF<br>
is not accepted this year) - there may be some scientific<br>
Java groups that would work?<br>
<br>
We've (at least Biopython and BioPerl) have found the<br>
main problem as been getting enough mentors to cope<br>
with all the great student applications :(<br>
<br>
Potential mentors - you have to make quite a big time<br>
commitment, but this can be really rewarding and fun.<br>
<br>

<br>
