Dear Sirs,

        Thank you for your great info.
        
        Based on it, I have written the final project proposal:

The Summer of Code submission:

Name
   Jo�o Paulo Penteado Leite Samara

Email
   Primary: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Secondary: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Project Title
   OSCAR BioInformatics packages and SGE support

Synopsis
    Contribute to project OSCAR (http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/)
by adding important software for research environments in the Biosciences field.

Deliverables
- Create OSCAR packages for all relevant bioinformatics tools that run on clusters
    - Create the Sun Grid Engine package.

Project Details
BioInformatics, a somewhat new and ever growing field, has many complex algorithms
that can only be handled by powerful clusters.
My main task will be to select several applications of interest and integrate properly with
OSCAR. This would be of great value to the scientific community.
I will also create and maintain the Sun Grid Engine package, a software to incorporate/maintain grids under current cluster infrastructure. This task will probably require coding
on OSCAR's core components.

Scope
  The above two tasks can be completed under Google's schedule.
  I hope I can continue to improve OSCAR beyond this period.

Bio
I'm an undergraduate in electrical engineering from University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am currently involved FAPESP's (http://www.fapesp.br/english/index.php) program called Viral Genetic Diversity Network (VGDN) (http://www.lemb.icb.usp.br/lemb/vgdn/www/) which aims to sequence HIV-1, HCV and RSV variants collected across 23 labs in Brazil. I'm currently assisting the design of the main lab (LEMB) analisys cluster HPC, a 54 cpu-diskless cluster of 2.0Ghz Opterons, and adapt to our software. I think that it is a great opportunity for me to learn, help the university lab, contribute to OSCAR project and get involved on the open source community in a active way.
