Predictive Ecosystem Analyzer (PEcAn) Project has been accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor organization this year. GSoC is a global program where students work on a 3 month programming project with an open source software.
PEcAn is an integrated ecoinformatics toolbox that consists of a set of scientific workflows that wrap around ecosystem models and manage flow of information in and out of models. PEcAn is built using mainly R, and we benefit from the use of a wide range of other software, including PostgreSQL, PHP, Javascript, C, Fortran and Python. *Applications to PEcAn Project is now open. *Application instructions and project ideas can be seen here: http://pecanproject.github.io/gsoc_apply.html Proposal submission period through GSoC official program website is *March 20 - April 3* 16:00 UTC. Accepted students will be mentored by PEcAn members and financially supported by GSoC. The PEcAn project is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse community. *Women and minority applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.* --- Further information PEcAn Project website: http://pecanproject.github.io/index.html GSoC student guide: http://write.flossmanuals.net/gsocstudentguide Student stipends: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends
