Google Summer of Code and NumFOCUS

[Raniere Silva]

Hi,

NumFOCUS has promotes and supports the ongoing research and development of
open-source computing tools including Python(X,Y).

This year NumFOCUS want to try be a Google Summer of Code
"umbrella" mentoring organization,

Umbrella organizations are mentoring organizations accepted into the Google
Summer of Code program that have other open source organizations working
"under" them. Sometime organizations that work very closely or have very
similar goals or communities may get put together under an "umbrella."
Google stills expects all organizations under the umbrella, whether accepted
into the program under their title or not, to adhere to all the rules and
regulations of the program.

From https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page#umbrella_organization

To help promote and support Python(X,Y).

We encourage Python(X,Y) to apply to Google Summer of Code under your own title
and will be very happy if you can also do with us.
If you are interested, please check https://github.com/swcarpentry/gsoc2015
and https://github.com/swcarpentry/gsoc2015/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.

If you have any question, please email me directly.

Thanks in advance,
