The application deadline for this year's Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is approaching fast (March 25th).
GSoC is a project aimed at students to get started with open source work, if accepted students will get paid by Google to work on a specific open source project for 3 months.
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) has put up a few project ideas you can apply for: http://obf.github.io/GSoC/ideas/

I am one of the mentors for the proposed openSNP projects so if you have any questions about our project proposals, you can join us on our Gitter channel: https://gitter.im/openSNP/snpr or ask here!
Respected Sir,
I am interested in applying for the proposed openSNP project under your guidance. I am currently in first year MSc bioinformatics from INDIA (Manipal university). I want to know how to proceed further. Thankyou.
Regards, Eshwari.
Hi Eshwari! I'm afraid this post is 3 years old, our GSoC project ended a long time ago!
However, this round of GSoC will be announced in 3 weeks: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/?csw=1 I'm sure there'll be many bioinformatics projects again this year, good luck!!
Thankyou so much Sir!!
