<span id="mailbox-conversation"><div>I would love to participate. I wasn’t as interested in being paid as in getting a mentor. I’ve been programming just for 8 months and I wondered if this could be enough background to start doing some little begginer-friendly contributions.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I’ve never contributed in any project before, so I don’t know if I just should fork the repo and try things or look the open issues and try to resolve one of them. However I didn’t see any issue where I understand what I should do. That’s why I thought that being mentored could be good for me.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Regards</div>

<div>Yes, we’ve just posted this unfortunate news to the OBF blog</div>
<div>(and via Twitter):</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://news.open-bio.org/news/2015/03/sadly-obf-not-accepted-for-gsoc-2015/">http://news.open-bio.org/news/2015/03/sadly-obf-not-accepted-for-gsoc-2015/</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I expect the BioJava team will be discussing any suitable</div>
<div>umbrella groups to contact about taking on a BioJava linked</div>
<div>project…</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also as an Open Source project, there is nothing to stop you</div>
<div>contributing outside of GSoC (but we can’t pay you).</div>
