Saleem is the programme going to begin?
We'll probably begin on June 1 (Thursday).
I've created a page on the Mentorship Wiki, please refer potential
participants to that. I (or anyone else) can add more questions and
answers to that page as required.
The Wiki page is available at (URL may wrap):

Hello,
We had a meeting with Prof. Andrew Lynn of the JNU
bio-informatics centre last Monday, and while some fiscal
details still need to get sorted out at their end, we would
like to start getting commitments from people to participate in
the program.
It will be a 6-week workshop held on the JNU campus, from the
beginning of June, to mid-July. Over the longer term, the idea
is to come up with a complete suite of open-source software for
bio- informatics. The work will be sub-divided into smaller
projects, and student programmers from local Delhi colleges
will be partnered with people from JNU having expertise in
bio-informatics. The student programmers will do the actual
coding, working alongside bio-informatics students from
JNU. The process will be guided by mentors with expertise in
open-source software practices. Over these six weeks, we would
be doing well to have a software requirements specification
(SRS) completed for all projects, and maybe coding started.
Thus, there are two kinds of participants that we need, namely
mentors and student programmers. Mentors will need to be able
to show prior involvement in at least one open-source software
project or group. While programming skills, especially in Perl,
Python, Java, C and C++, are desirable, knowledge of software
design is a must. Mentors would also need to have at least 2
years experience in software design and development. Mentors
will be approved by a committee drawn from ILUG-D and JNU, will
be paid about Rs. 750/day, and will have to commit to being
available over the 6-week period, though, of course, not every
day.
Students should have excellent programming abilities, and will
be screened through a simple programming test. Students will
need to commit to being at the workshop every working day of
the six weeks. Arranging payment for students is a little more
difficult for JNU, but we should be able to at least cover
travel expense, and it might be possible to arrange
accomodation in JNU hostels. Students will also be given a
certificate of participation from JNU at the end of the six
weeks, pending succesful progress in their project.
Please discuss any aspects of the program here on the list. If
you are interested in participating, please make sure to also
copy your email to Raj Mathur and/or me. You can also reach me
on my mobile at 9868527992. The final list of chosen mentors
and students will be posted here.
Regards, Gora
