[Scikit-learn-general] Google Summer of Code 2016, GSoC2016

[Raniere Silva]

Hi all,

Since Scikit Learn is a NumFOCUS affiliated project
and NumFOCUS will apply to be a mentoring organization on GSoC
I want to know (1) if Scikit Learn is planning to apply this year
and (2) if want to apply under NumFOCUS umbrella.

Scikit Learn is welcome and encouraged to apply as separate mentoring
organizations directly with Google. We're happy to help you fill out your
application and improve your ideas pages, as well as link your page to help
students find you. We may also be able to be a reference for you.
It is totally fine if you want to use the NumFOCUS umbrella org
as a backup plan in case you don't get selected and we do!

Cheers,
Raniere

What is the benefit of applying with numfocus compared to applying with
the PSF? All the previous years we did it with the PSF, and it was a
breaze.

Hi Gael,

I'm pushing this just because when I was a student I found difficult to
discovery scientific computation projects to apply and I thought that having
NumFOCUS projects under the same umbrella will be something good.

If you are happy with PSF we are OK that you continue working with them.
I met Terri Oda in person and she is great.

Bests,
