Ah, I had also some more than a usual shorter than 24h delay.

I also managed successful mentoring even beyond my sphere of knowledge
of the actual software. So I think we can build a save backup to get
you started. :-)

I stumbled upon the DebianMed page and was excited to know about the MoM program and would love to be considered to contribute to it, I have experience working with Python and C++ and am learning GO (though I would love to learn new languages) and have taken courses for Genetics/Epigenitics/Network-biology and college math courses.
Thanks for the introduction. As Andrius just has asked: Do you have
any specific software in mind that you are missing inside Debian? We
have some packages just in Git where people in the past have spent some
effort into which did not ended up in a final package (for several
reasons - several of them were too complex for a beginners project.) You
might like to have a look into it anyway. I have somehow marked
https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio#cellprofiler
as some not that hard project. The packaging in Git[2] is **extremely**
outdated so its somehow some "packaging" from scratch work - so you need
to touch every single packaging file anyway and learn by enhancing. The
project itself seems to be alive since its issuing new releases quite
regularly. Please make up your mind whether this is interesting for you
or if you might find something more challenging. For a successful MoM
project its the best if the student really *wants* to see that program
inside Debian.
