Re: [Avogadro-devel] Google Summer of Code 2018 - GPU Accelerated Calculation of Molecular Surfaces and QM Data

2018-03-08 Thread Geoffrey Hutchison
Dear Tony, Great to hear from you. Yes, I think it's important for the project to have some background in both programming and computational chemistry (e.g., knowing why you'd care about molecular surfaces, MOs, electron density, etc.) Beyond that, if you're interested, I encourage you to write

Avogadro and Open Chemistry are part of Google Summer of Code 2016. I would like to congratulate Reinis, Patrick, and Sanjeed for 3 excellent project proposals: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6290185763422208/ * Reinis Danne - Python scripting support for Avogadro 2 * Patrick

Some level of chemistry would be extremely useful. The project you mention likely requires less chemistry knowledge, since embedding a Python scripting interpreter in the code requires more coding competence than chemistry background. However, a competitive proposal would likely require some exa

Hi, To update the list, we were not selected this year. I got feedback from Google which was very positive and encouraged us to apply again next year. They only accepted 137 organizations this year (down from a high of 190 last year). We had some great ideas, and we will continue to work on links

Hi guys, I would definitely be happy to help out from the cclib side of things. I don't think I would manage the time to mentor, but could help generally organize things as well. I have been trying to make some time to get into Avogadro and openbabel, and this would be a good pretext. I have part

Here are some of the questions for mentoring organizations. I would hope that KDE and/or VTK/Kitware could vouch for us as an organization? In addition to anything else your organization would like to submit a proposal, Google will be asking (at least) the following questions as part of the p

The deadline for applying to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code is fast approaching. I'm not sure precisely where to hang our hat (e.g., Avogadro alone, general open-source chemistry like Blue Obelisk, or through another group like the University of Pittsburgh) but I'd really
