We don’t have a full wrap-up blog post up yet for our 2016 participation, but I think you can see from the projects we had this year and in 2014 that we’ve taken on an expressly inclusive understanding of our umbrella.

It offers an infrastructure for the rapid development of mass spectrometry related software. OpenMS is free software available under the three clause BSD license and runs on Windows, MacOSX, and Linux. It has been developed for more than 10 years by an active community (<a href="https://github.com/OpenMS/" target="_blank">https://github.com/OpenMS/</a>). This year, we would love to participate in the google summer of code. A colleague of mine (he successfully participated with other projects) pointed me to the OBF as a potential umbrella mentoring organization that might help to maximize our chances to attract participants. As it turns out, our open source philosophies align very nicely and I would like to ask if there is interest from your side to allow OpenMS to join the mentoring team. We will, of course, help out to select and grade applicants as well as other tasks that might arise.</div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Timo </div></div>
