[GSoC] OBF & GSoC 2015

[Raoul J P Bonnal]

Dear All,

we got the formal communication that Open Bioinformatics Foundation 
(OBF) has not been accepted for the Google Summer of Code 2015.

We can still participate migrating some of our projects to other 
organizations, I encourage every mentor to explore the list of accepted 
organizations [1] and directly contact them. Please let us know and 
we'll try to help if possible.
We are in touch with a friend organization so we'll try to migrate some 
project to Ruby Science Foundation [2].
Other organizations with bioinformatics as keyword are Department of 
Biomedical Informatics, Stony Brook University [3], OncoBlocks[4], 
University of Nebraska - Helikar Lab [5]. Other organizations related to 
sciences are ASCEND [6] , BRL-CAD [7], Debian Project [8] , HPCC 
Systems® [9] , International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility [10] 
, lmonade: scientific software distribution [11] , OSGeo - Open Source 
Geospatial Foundation [12], The Concord Consortium [13], The 
Visualization Toolkit [14]. Languages: Python [15], Scala [16], Apache 
Foundation [17].
Last but not least : Global Alliance for Genomics & Health [18]


It is always complicated to understand why an organization has not been 
accepted and there are many reasons, many orgs are applying every year 
and they tend to introduce fresh air. There are no specific comments 
from Google. We'll dissect every aspect and activities to better 
understand and improve our presence for the next year.

In the mean time, find an host org for our projects and participate to 
GSoC 2015.
