Presumably you'll link the "GSoC 2014 was very productive for the OBF"
to the wrapup blog post?<br>

Title: Sadly OBF not accepted for GSoC 2015
<start>
Last year's Google Summer of Code 2014 was very productive for the OBF
with six students working on Bio* and related bioinformatics projects.
We applied again this year to be part of GSoC 2015, but unfortunately
this year were not accepted.
Google's program is enormously popular, and over-subscribed, meaning
Google has had to rotate organisation membership. The OBF is grateful
to have been accepted in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. For GSoC 2015 any
participation will be down to individual projects to find other
willing umbrella organisations. For example, a Biopython project was
included under NESCent for GSoC 2013.
On behalf of the OBF, we would like to thank our volunteer GSoC
Adminstrators, Raoul Bonnal and Francesco Strozzi, for organising our
application - and all our potential mentors accross the Bio* projects
who put forward potential project suggestions.
<end>
I would also tweet this, and post on the Biopython list about our next steps.
Thanks,
Peter

This has happened to the OBF before, and we never really understood
why. So don't feel bad for your efforts - we gave it a good shot. Thank
you all.
We should post an announcement on the OBF news blog, and email to
all the project lists too? Could you write something? I can post it on the
blog or make an account there (I don't think you have one yet).

</pre><blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">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.
