[MoM] Fwd: Outreachy project (CI for all biological applications inside Debian)

Hi, All!

My name is Tatiana Malygina, I'm another girl from Russia, who wants to help with writing tests for biological applications in Debian =)

For Andreas: me and Ann were in the same study group in university, and actually we are friends. But out experience in bioinformatics and our primary research areas differ - that's why I want something structural bioinformatics-related as starting packaging project.

For example, project from this list would be great: dssp, Concavity, bio3d, ncols, norsnet, visualization (PyMol, garlic, ...) or docking-related (autodock, autodock-vina, racoon, etc.). If I'm not a perfect candidate for outreachy internship, I would like to help with packaging for these tools as a volunteer - with some of them (I mean docking software) I had no prior experience, and for me it is a great chance to obtain it (and a motivation to finally read docking-related articles).

I've created account on alioth (username - latticetower-guest), I also like git.

Tanya.

Hi Tanya,

thanks for your interest in the GSoC project of the Debian Med team. I
admit I'm impressed that so many students have contacted me since I had
considered the strong focus to bioinformatics a constraint but it is
obviously not. Your CV looks impressive and you seem to be a very good
candidate.

Since the discussion has started in public on the Debian Med mailing list
I'd recommend you simply start reading the thread beginning here:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2016/02/msg00116.html

I prefer open discussion anyway so it would be really great if you could
subscribe this mailing list, give a short introduction there and we sort
out any questions there. Another candidate (as well a woman from Russia
- I wonder whether this is by chance or whether Russia is good in
educating in this field ... I'm originated from the former GDR so I have
some connection to Russia) has shown interest in writing a test suite for
bwa and I also suggested prodigal out of random since I recently touched
this package. Another random pick would be the package murasaki which
I uploaded yesterday.

If you do not have any idea about Debian packaging that's no problem at
all - we can teach you on the list in a MoM project[1]. Your main
qualification is your bioinformatics background. Feel free to ask any
question you might have on the list.

Looking forward to work together with you

Andreas.
