Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the acceptance of OBF's 2010 Google Summer of
Code students, listed in alphabetical order with their project titles
and primary mentors:
Mark Chapman (PM Andreas Prlic) - Improvements to BioJava including
Implementation of Multiple Sequence Alignment Algorithms
Jianjiong Gao (PM Peter Rose) - BioJava Packages for Identification,
Classification, and Visualization of Posttranslational Modification of
Proteins
Kazuhiro Hayashi (PM Naohisa Goto) - Ruby 1.9.2 support of BioRuby
Sara Rayburn (PM Christian Zmasek) - Implementing Speciation &
Duplication Inference Algorithm for Binary and Non-binary Species Tree

Congratulations to our accepted students!
All told, we had 52 applications submitted for the 6 slots (5 originally
assigned, plus 1 extra) allotted to us by Google. Proposals were
extremely competitive: 6 out of 52 translates to an 11.5% acceptance
rate. We received a lot of really excellent proposals, the decisions
were not easy.
Thanks very much to all the students who applied, we very much
appreciate your hard work.
Here's to a great 2010 Summer of Code, I'm sure these students will do
some wonderful work.
