Before applying, please read our documentation on information that students should know and guidelines we expect you to follow. We also require that you include certain information, listed below, under “When you apply.”

Staff and Org Admins

Organisation administrator

Kai Blin kblin@biosustain.dtu.dk (IRC: kblin | channels: #obf-soc, #gsoc)

Backup administrator

Michael Crusoe

Google Plus

OBF Summer of Code on G+

Email

For prospective students, the first point of contact should be the mailing list of the OBF project you are interested in working with:

GeneNetwork / Biodalliance

antiSMASH

OpenMS

openCOBRA - COBRApy

Also, it would be a good idea to CC the organization administrator Kai Blin, so he can make sure that you are properly taken care of!

If you are not quite sure which project you would like to contribute to, you can email to the organization administrator for help. However, do not worry overly much about picking the right OBF project at the outset. If you are unsure, simply make your best guess, and other members of the email list will help you to find the best organization to suit your idea.

IRC - Internet Relay Chat

OBF IRC channels are maintained on freenode, connect your IRC client to chat.freenode.net.

Main OBF GSoC Channel
#obf-soc
GeneNetwork
#genenetwork on Freenode

Some mentors and developers can regularly be found on IRC, see the list of OBF projects below for information on which projects have a channel and the name of the channel. And/or join #obf-soc on Freenode. (If you do not have an IRC client installed, you might find the comparison on Wikipedia, the Google directory, or the IRC Reviews helpful. For Macs, X-Chat Aqua works pretty well. If you have never used IRC, try the IRC Primer at IRC Help, which also has links to lots of other material.)
