The National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB) will be applying as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2021 for the joint efforts of Cytoscape and other network biology tools.
If you have a Cytoscape related project idea you would like to mentor, keep reading!
For GSoC 2021, Google has made some changes to the program including:
Project ideas: 2021 projects will be shortened to 10-weeks / 175 hours, which is approximately half the length of prior year's projects, so all project descriptions will need to be reimagined and written for this new format.
Expanded student base: The new rules allow for a wider range of "students," including post-graduate and late-career applicants.
Because of these changes, we are starting the process of updating project ideas early.
If you are interested in mentoring, complete these tasks before December 21:
1. Add your new project ideas at GitHub:
https://github.com/nrnb/GoogleSummerOfCode/issues. Refer to our template to make sure your project description includes all necessary information:
https://github.com/nrnb/GoogleSummerOfCode/issues/952. Complete the mentor survey, even if you completed one last year:
