The Genome Informatics group and GMOD will be submitting an application for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year, and we are soliciting project ideas from people and groups involved in the GMOD project.

GSoC is a global program run by Google to encourage students to get real-world experience of participating in a software project; students work on a project over the summer months and receive a stipend from Google for participating. Thousands of organizations of many different sizes take part in GSoC, with the common factor being that they must produce open-source code.

Please take a look at the GSoC wiki page and think about any projects that might work well for a GSoC student, and add them to the wiki. If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact us at robin.haw@oicr.on.ca help@gmod.org.

If you have any questions--e.g. what constitutes an appropriate project; whether your idea is sufficiently GMOD-related--please feel free to email robin.haw@oicr.on.ca and help@gmod.org for advice!

'''Got an idea for [[GSoC|GSOC 2020]]?'''

Then please post it. You can either

# Add it here, by directly editing this page. Just copy, paste and update the [[#Template|template]] below. This requires that you have or create a GMOD.org login.

Projects can use a broad set of skills, technologies, and domains, such as GUIs, database integration and algorithms.

Students are also encouraged to propose their own ideas related to our projects. If you have strong computer skills and have an interest in biology or bioinformatics, you should definitely apply! Do not hesitate to propose your own project idea: some of the best applications we see are by students that go this route. As long as it is relevant to one of our projects, we will give it serious consideration. Creativity and self-motivation are great traits for open-source programmers.


= Proposed project ideas for 2020 =

''Be the first to add a project idea.''

== Template ==

*'''Project Idea Name (Project Name/Lab Name)'''
**''Brief explanation:'' Brief description of the idea, including any relevant links, etc.
**''Expected results:'' describe the outcome of the project idea.
**''Project Home Page URL:'' if there is one.
**''Project paper reference and URL:'' Is there a paper about the project this effort will be a part of?
**''Knowledge prerequisites:'' programming language(s) to be used, plus any other particular computer science skills needed.
**''Skill level:'' Basic, Medium or Advanced.
**''Mentors:'' name + contact details of the lead mentor, name + contact details of 1 or 2 backup mentors. Robin.haw
