Forum:Google Summer Of Code 2014 Gsoc 2014

Question

[Lluís R.]

Tomorrow finish the Organization applications of this year 2014 GSoC

I am exited to help one project but which are the ones that haven already applied?

Have the same institutions listed on the post from last year post already applied?

• Crowd Sourcing Biology at the Scripps Institute
• Dept. of Biomedical Informatics, Emory University
• NESCent (National Evolutionary Synthesis Center)
• NRNB (National Resource for Network Biology)
• SciRuby (Ruby Science Foundation)
• SHOGUN (Shogun Machine Learning Toolbox)
• Bioconductor (r)
• Genome Informatics group (GMOD + Reactome, PortEco, WormBase, SeqWare)

Anyone interested too to apply as a student? What are your interests?

[Egon Willighagen]

NRNB applied and was selected again: http://nrnb.org/gsoc/

[Lluís R.]

Reading about the organisation I will probably propose an idea, or apply for one of the list

[Lluís R.]

Thanks! I want to refresh the list for this year, hopefully I will do it soon.

Answer 1

[Lluís R.]

This last Friday the student application deadline. I hope that you can cover the projects of your organization or find a project to do this summer if you are a student like me. (If you see my proposal and has some ideas to improve it, please let me know ).

Good luck

Answer 2

[Lluís R.]

This year I found this organisations related to bioinformatics.

• NRNB
• Bio4j
• BioJavaScript
• Open Bioinformatics Foundation
• Shogun Machine Learning Toolbox
• Centre for Computational Medicine, SickKids Research Institute
• Ruby Science Foundation
• Bioconductor (This is the page of the R Project for Statistical Computing, I couldn't find Bioconductor on the list of accepted.)
• Biomedical Informatics, Emory University
• Scaffold Hunter

If anyone knows others, please comments to add them.

[Egon Willighagen]

ScaffoldHunter, which is a tool to aid pharmacology research.http://scaffoldhunter.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=project_ideas

Added, I missed this one, the tags were out of my search :(

[Egon Willighagen]

Thank you very much.

Answer 3

[Egon Willighagen]

BioStar heros, is the Jobs section suitable to write up one post for each organization (by the mentor organizers themselves!)?

[Istvan Albert]

not sure if these warrant an individual job post - after all each is just a proposal that may or may not be accepted. I would suggest creating forum posts that relate to each project

[Lluís R.]

Well, it is not generating much discussion and many views. So maybe for the moment keeping it in one post is easier.

[Egon Willighagen]

Yeah, one post in "wiki" mode makes perfect sense... just wanted to make sure it was not limited to a few projects...
