Title: Sadly OBF not accepted for GSoC 2015<br>
<br>
<start><br>
Last year's Google Summer of Code 2014 was very productive for the OBF<br>
with six students working on Bio* and related bioinformatics projects.<br>
We applied again this year to be part of GSoC 2015, but unfortunately<br>
this year were not accepted.<br>
<br>
Google's program is enormously popular, and over-subscribed, meaning<br>
Google has had to rotate organisation membership. The OBF is grateful<br>
to have been accepted in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. For GSoC 2015 any<br>
participation will be down to individual projects to find other<br>
willing umbrella organisations. For example, a Biopython project was<br>
included under NESCent for GSoC 2013.<br>
<br>
Other organizations with bioinformatics as keyword are Ruby Science Foundation [1],<br>
Department of Biomedical Informatics, Stony Brook University [2], OncoBlocks[3],<br>
University of Nebraska - Helikar Lab [4]. Other organizations related to<br>
sciences are ASCEND [5] , BRL-CAD [6], Debian Project [7] , HPCC Systems®<br>
[8] , International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility [9] , lmonade:<br>
scientific software distribution [10] , OSGeo - Open Source Geospatial<br>
Foundation [11], The Concord Consortium [12], The Visualization Toolkit<br>
[13]. Languages: Python [14], Scala [15], Apache Foundation [16].<br>
Last but not least : Global Alliance for Genomics & Health [17]<br>
<br>
On behalf of the OBF, we would like to thank our volunteer GSoC<br>
Adminstrators, Raoul Bonnal and Francesco Strozzi, for organising our<br>
application - and all our potential mentors accross the Bio* projects<br>
who put forward potential project suggestions.<br>

I would also tweet this, and post on the Biopython list about our next steps.<br>

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

Dear All,<br>
<br>
we got the formal communication that Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF)<br>
has not been accepted for the Google Summer of Code 2015.<br>
<br>
We can still participate migrating some of our projects to other<br>
organizations, I encourage every mentor to explore the list of accepted<br>
organizations [1] and directly contact them. Please let us know and we'll<br>
try to help if possible.<br>
We are in touch with a friend organization so we'll try to migrate some<br>
project to Ruby Science Foundation [2].<br>
Other organizations with bioinformatics as keyword are Department of<br>
Biomedical Informatics, Stony Brook University [3], OncoBlocks[4],<br>
University of Nebraska - Helikar Lab [5]. Other organizations related to<br>
sciences are ASCEND [6] , BRL-CAD [7], Debian Project [8] , HPCC Systems®<br>
[9] , International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility [10] , lmonade:<br>
scientific software distribution [11] , OSGeo - Open Source Geospatial<br>
Foundation [12], The Concord Consortium [13], The Visualization Toolkit<br>
[14]. Languages: Python [15], Scala [16], Apache Foundation [17].<br>
Last but not least : Global Alliance for Genomics & Health [18]<br>
<br>
<br>
It is always complicated to understand why an organization has not been<br>
accepted and there are many reasons, many orgs are applying every year and<br>
they tend to introduce fresh air. There are no specific comments from<br>
Google. We'll dissect every aspect and activities to better understand and<br>
improve our presence for the next year.<br>
<br>
In the mean time, find an host org for our projects and participate to GSoC<br>
2015.<br>
