[Bioperl-l] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Google Summer of Code

[Chris Fields]

All,

As Rob Buels previously mentioned, the Open Bioinformatics Foundation has again applied for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC).  BioPerl has been involved with GSoC over the last several years, most recently when Jun Yin refactored the alignment subsystem, code that will be incorporated into BioPerl after the 1.6.2 release:

We have several ideas for projects for the upcoming GSoC 2011 on the wiki, but we are open to just about anything BioPerl-related.  We are also looking for more potential mentors!  If you have ideas or would like to be a mentor, free to submit to the web page, discuss it on this list, or join us on IRC (#obf-soc on freenode).
