Hi All
We have LESS than a week to submit the application for the Google Summer
of Code 2015, and complete the application.
20 February:
19:00 UTC
Mentoring organization application deadline.
23 - 27 February:
Google program administrators review organization applications.
2 March:
19:00 UTC
List of accepted mentoring organizations published on the /Google
Summer of Code/ 2015 site.
OBF is going to apply to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of
Code 2015. To make the ideas list more digestible for Google's reviewers,
we consolidated all of the Bio* projects' ideas into a single page on the
OBF wiki:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas
Me (Raoul J.P. Bonnal) and Francesco Strozzi are the OrgAdmin, thanks to
the OBF Board.
We encourage each mentor of an affiliated sub-project to fill in/add
project
to the above page. Please report directly to me(bon...@ingm.org) your
availability as a mentor
for this year. Student from past years can mentor and propose an idea,
if supported by
their community.
Any other communication related to OBF and GSoC must use
g...@mailman.open-bio.org <mailto:g...@mailman.open-bio.org>

Last year we introduced the Cross Projects, i.e.
those involving two or more programming languages or Bio* project
communities and/or can be useful to many languages
( web APIs reusable from any language ). The first 2015 cross project
is http://www.nextflow.io/ and you can find the proposal here:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas#Cross-project_ideas
This page is the one we listed in our application. It is separate from the
OBF wiki page for general GSoC information:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code
If OBF is accepted for GSoC 2015, it would make sense to point each Bio*
project's GSoC wiki page to this one, instead of duplicating the content.
As another way to interact with potential students, we've created a Google
Plus page for OBF:
https://plus.google.com/115564754756543103019/posts
And a G+ community for OBF's GSoC activities:
https://plus.google.com/communities/103096212020630764091
Feel free to forward this message to your colleagues or other possible
orgs that want to join us.
Thanks to Eric Talevich, the GSoC 2014 main OrgAdmin, he did a great
work and provide a lot of docs and useful hints.
Best regards,
Raoul & Francesco
OBF GSoC 2015 Org Admins
