Yay! It’s official, we’re going to be in the Google Summer of Code again this year. Our application as a mentoring organization was just accepted. Cytoscape, PathVisio, WikiPathways and even BridgeDb are all joined under the GenMAPP umbrella organisation. Unfortunately I don’t have time to mentor again, so I’ll be watching from the sidelines this year. But I do want to encourage students to apply.
Students from all nations, we want to hear from you! If you’re interested in developing open source bioinformatics software, please send us a proposal. Check our ideas page, write a proposal and send it to our mailinglist. You have a chance to gain valuable development experience and earn a little money at the same time. The earlier you contact us, the better your chances.
