Hi All<br>
<br>
<br>
We have LESS than a week to submit the application for the Google Summer<br>
of Code 2015, and complete the application.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
OBF is going to apply to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of<br>
Code 2015. To make the ideas list more digestible for Google's reviewers,<br>
we consolidated all of the Bio* projects' ideas into a single page on the<br>
OBF wiki:<br>
<a href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas" target="_blank">http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas</a><br>
<br>
Me (Raoul J.P. Bonnal) and Francesco Strozzi are the OrgAdmin, thanks to<br>
the OBF Board.<br>
<br>
We encourage each mentor of an affiliated sub-project to fill in/add<br>
project<br>
to the above page. Please report directly to me(<a href="mailto:bonnal@ingm.org">bonnal@ingm.org</a>) your<br>
availability as a mentor<br>
for this year. Student from past years can mentor and propose an idea,<br>
if supported by<br>
their community.<br>
<br>
Any other communication related to OBF and GSoC must use<br>
<a href="mailto:gsoc@mailman.open-bio.org">gsoc@mailman.open-bio.org</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:gsoc@mailman.open-bio.org">gsoc@mailman.open-bio.org</a>><br>

<br>
Last year we introduced the Cross Projects, i.e.<br>
those involving two or more programming languages or Bio* project<br>
communities and/or can be useful to many languages<br>
( web APIs reusable from any language ). The first 2015 cross project<br>
is <a href="http://www.nextflow.io/" target="_blank">http://www.nextflow.io/</a> and you can find the proposal here:<br>
<a href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas#Cross-project_ideas" target="_blank">http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas#Cross-project_ideas</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This page is the one we listed in our application. It is separate from the<br>
OBF wiki page for general GSoC information:<br>
<a href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code" target="_blank">http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code</a><br>
<br>
If OBF is accepted for GSoC 2015, it would make sense to point each Bio*<br>
project's GSoC wiki page to this one, instead of duplicating the content.<br>
<br>
As another way to interact with potential students, we've created a Google<br>
Plus page for OBF:<br>
<a href="https://plus.google.com/115564754756543103019/posts" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/115564754756543103019/posts</a><br>
<br>
And a G+ community for OBF's GSoC activities:<br>
<a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/103096212020630764091" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/communities/103096212020630764091</a><br>
<br>
Feel free to forward this message to your colleagues or other possible<br>
orgs that want to join us.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Eric Talevich, the GSoC 2014 main OrgAdmin, he did a great<br>
work and provide a lot of docs and useful hints.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Raoul & Francesco<br>
OBF GSoC 2015 Org Admins<br>

Ken;<br>
Thanks for the e-mail and sorry about the problems installing<br>
Biopython on Windows. Unfortunately I have no experience working with<br>
Windows so don't have good tips for you. I'm cc'ing the Biopython<br>
mailing list where folks might have more experience.<br>
<br>
My general thoughts would be:<br>
<br>
- Are you using one of the Windows installers for Biopython or trying to<br>
build from source? Installing with a pre-built installer should be the<br>
easiest way:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://biopython.org/wiki/Download" target="_blank">http://biopython.org/wiki/Download</a><br>
<br>
- In general, could you provide more details about what you tried and<br>
where you got stuck? The specific error messages you're seeing would<br>
be helpful to provide more debugging info.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience getting it installed and hope this helps some,<br>
Brad<br>
