      List of accepted mentoring organizations published on the /Google
      Summer of Code/ 2015 site.



OBF is going to apply to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of
Code 2015. To make the ideas list more digestible for Google's reviewers,
we consolidated all of the Bio* projects' ideas into a single page on the
OBF wiki:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas

Me (Raoul J.P. Bonnal) and Francesco Strozzi are the OrgAdmin, thanks to 
the OBF Board.

We encourage each mentor of an affiliated sub-project to fill in/add 
project
to the above page. Please report directly to me([email protected]) your 
availability as a mentor
for this year. Student from past years can mentor and propose an idea, 
if supported by
their community.

Any other communication related to OBF and GSoC must use 
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

Last year we introduced the Cross Projects, i.e.
those involving two or more programming languages or Bio* project
communities and/or can be useful to many languages
( web APIs reusable from any language ). The first 2015 cross project
is http://www.nextflow.io/ and you can find the proposal here:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015_Ideas#Cross-project_ideas 



This page is the one we listed in our application. It is separate from the
OBF wiki page for general GSoC information:
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code

If OBF is accepted for GSoC 2015, it would make sense to point each Bio*
project's GSoC wiki page to this one, instead of duplicating the content.

As another way to interact with potential students, we've created a Google
Plus page for OBF:
https://plus.google.com/115564754756543103019/posts

And a G+ community for OBF's GSoC activities:
https://plus.google.com/communities/103096212020630764091

Feel free to forward this message to your colleagues or other possible 
orgs that want to join us.

Thanks to Eric Talevich, the GSoC 2014 main OrgAdmin, he did a great 
work and provide a lot of docs and useful hints.

Best regards,
Raoul & Francesco
OBF GSoC 2015 Org Admins
