Hi, list The sun is shining outside, the first flowers are rearing their pretty heads above ground, and the air is light and flows freely. Yes, it's that time of year again. The time where the next Google Summer of Code is starting to stir.
I'm starting to get requests and questions about GSoC. Some years ago, I engaged in the haskell.org process, worked with prospective students and worked out proposals, but in the end it was all unsuccessful. So later, I've been more lukewarm to the whole thing - it is likely a lot of work to no avail. But we do have the opportunity to get GSoC projects, either through haskell.org, or Open Bio (OBF), who acts as an umbrella for the various bio* projects. If we succeed, I think it would be a great way to get some programming work done, as well as increase exposure and possibly recruit more people to the biohaskell community. Is anybody else interested in this? In mentoring? In co-mentoring? If so, we could organize possible projects on the wiki gsoc page. Let me know what you think!
