<br>
A special welcome to Biopython contributor Kai Blin who has<br>
kindly volunteered to serve as the OBF GSoC administrator.<br>
<br>
As in previous years, we (Biopython) will need potential mentors<br>
or co-mentors (it is time demanding, but can be enormously<br>
rewarding), and some potential project ideas to include with<br>
the OBF GSoC application.<br>
<br>
It would be great to start updating the wiki page,<br>
<a href="http://biopython.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://biopython.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code</a><br>
<br>
Note Google dropped support for the relevant OpenID API,<br>
but Yahoo OpenID seems to be working again. As an aside,<br>
if anyone knows a lot about MediaWiki installations and<br>
OpenID, please drop us an email on root-l@... to see if you<br>
can help.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>

Subject: [Open-bio-l] Let's get started with Google Summer of Code 2016<br>

Dear Open Bioinformatics community,<br>
<br>
Google is now accepting applications for mentoring organizations for<br>
the 2016 installment of the Google Summer of Code. You can find out a<br>
bit about the Google Summer of Code from an OBF perspective on our<br>
wiki at <a href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code</a>. My<br>
apologies for the 2015 material still on there, but I've been fighting<br>
with the OpenID account creation on our wiki, and have not won so far.<br>
Still, most of the material still applies for this year.<br>
<br>
In order to actually collect a number of interesting project ideas<br>
that we could have students work on, we need your help as a community.<br>
Please join us on the OBF/GSoC mailing list<br>
(<a href="http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc</a>) so we can get<br>
rolling.<br>
<br>
I would love to get a good list of proposals together until Wednesday,<br>
February 17th. To get a feeling what some nice project ideas would<br>
look like, have a look at our ideas list for 2015<br>
(<a href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas</a>). As in<br>
the last years, project ideas from all the OBF member projects are<br>
welcome. Additionally, we would like to invite other bioinformatics<br>
projects that are connected to the OBF to join us in our GSoC<br>
application. Connected projects would include projects that are heavy<br>
users of the Bio* libraries or similar. It would be ideal if all<br>
project ideas could be backed by two mentors.<br>
<br>
Feel free to forward this message to your respective OBF member<br>
projects, or connected bioinformatics community.<br>
<br>
Kind regards from the OBF GSoC team,<br>
<br>
Kai Blin,<br>
OBF administrator for GSoC 2016<br>
