Dear all, Yesterday was the last day for potential students to submit applications for Google Summer of Code and we got proposals for the following five projects: 1) RDKit integration with MongoDB. Python based 2) Implement a generalized file reader and a multi-threaded file reader. C++ based 3) Integrating trained neural networks (specifically ANI-like force fields) into the RDKit. C++ based 4) RDKit-OpenMM integration. C++ based 5) Improved RDKit integration with Jupyter, Dask, Pandas, Plotly, and Bokeh. Python based
There's more about the first four projects here: https://wiki.openchemistry.org/GSoC_Ideas_2020#RDKit_Project_Ideas and I'm happy to answer questions about them. We have a mentor and co-mentor for each of these projects, but I'm looking for a few more people to act as co-mentors. It doesn't make sense to do a project without at least two mentors - one primary mentor and one co-mentor- and Google is strongly encouraging organizations to have three mentors - one primary and two co-mentors - available for each project. Being a co-mentor is going to require an hour or two a week on average over the course of the program. There's more information on the program, including the dates, here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/ GSoC is really a great program and being a mentor/co-mentor is a good way to help move both the open-source community and the RDKit forward. If you're interested or have questions, feel free to send me email, -greg
