[Gmod-tripal] Fwd: Re: [GSoC 2018] [Open Genome Informatics] Google Summer of Code 2018 Participation

[Stephen F. <spf...@gm...>]

Hi All,

As in year's past the GMOD group has been involved with the Google 
Summer of Code under the the organization called "Open Genome 
Informatics".  See the email below forwarded from Marc. Google 
essentially funds a remote student to work on an open-source project of 
your choice.   I participated two years ago and had a good experience 
with it.  You can participate by contacting Marc Gillespie, Robin Haw or 
Scott Cain (emails below).  You need a project idea for the student to 
work on over the summer.  If you'd like to know more about how it went 
for me I'd be happy to answer any questions.   I did find, though that 
because the summer goes by so fast, a Drupal-related task is probably 
not best because Drupal has a high learning curve.  If you have some 
other work, such as visualization that can be done outside of Drupal 
then that might be more appropriate.

Best,
Stephen
