[Openchemistry-developers] GSoC 2017 - Avogadro 2 Project

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

Dear Samanvay,

Sorry for a slightly delayed reply to your message. I see that you've commented on several Open Chemistry projects, which is great. But I think the most important thing would be for you to pick one project from Open Chemistry and think about that.

As for the plan and timeline, there's advice on the wiki:

If you decide that the biological visualization is the project you'd like to focus on, please let me know and I'd be happy to provide some pointers.

Thanks,
-Geoff

Additionally, I have experience in Chemistry and have also studied Biotechnology as a school course for 2 years, so I have an idea of biomolecules and proteomics too. This is the first time I plan to work as part of an open source community, which is why I am really eager to begin with it via this platform. I may not be THE best person for the job, but I can vouch that this experience will benefit me by honing my skills and my passion to contribute to society, and by the end of this program I hope you will agree that you made a good decision by selecting me for this project.
