Hello, My name is Matte Bailey, and I'm a third year computer science student at Western Washington University. I am also a biology minor, and am very interested in bioinformatics and hope to someday have a career in the field. For the past few months I have been searching for something I could do over the summer related to bioinformatics, and I recently discovered the Open Bioinformatics Foundation and your Google Summer of Code opportunities. This is exactly what I have been looking for, and I would be thrilled if I could be one of the students to work on a project this summer.
I've read through all of the instructions about the application process and the current project ideas, and am now trying to figure out what kind of project I would be best suited for. I have experience with quite a few programming languages, but the BioJava projects seem to best fit my skills and level of experience. As I do not at this point have any experience with JSBML, I'm not exactly sure which of these projects I should be pursuing, although they all see interesting to me. The "Implement support for the SBML Multistate/Multicomponent Species package" project is probably the most attractive to me at this point due to the fact that it relates to biochemistry, which is an interest of mine. I am very open to working on any project though! Is there anything else I can do at this time to improve my chances of being selected? The largest part of the application seems to be putting together a comprehensive project plan, and I intend to begin working on that as soon as I figure out which project I am pursuing. Thanks for you help, Matte _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
