Dear All,

The Open Genome Informatics team serves as an “umbrella" organization to support the efforts of many open access open-source bioinformatics projects for Google Summer of Code (GSoC). Among this list of projects are GMOD and its software projects -- GBrowse, JBrowse; Galaxy; Reactome; WormBase; DockStore; Bioconda; and others.

Call for 2019 Project Ideas and Mentors:  We are seeking project ideas to post and attract talented students to this year’s Summer of Code competition. If you have a project idea for which you would like to mentor a student, please contact Robin Haw, Marc Gillespie, Dave Clements, Dannon Baker, and Scott Cain (emails above). You can also submit your ideas here or this online form.

For more information please refer to the Open Genome Informatics page.

The mentoring organization application deadline with GSoC is February 6th, 2019 at 3 pm EST. So, if you are interested in taking part with the team please let us know as soon as possible.

Please forward this to others who might be interested in taking part.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks,

Robin, Marc, Dave, Dannon, and Scott.
