[open-science] Google Summer of Code 2014 options?

[Bastian Greshake]

Hey, 
I think doing a blogpost is a great idea to get the word out for all the different projects.   

For the more language specific bioinformatics projects there is the Open Bioinformatics Foundation which is participating with BioPython, BioPerl, BioJava, BioSQL and BioHaskell [0] and the BioJS project is also participating [1]. 

Cheers,
Bastian
