[Openchemistry-developers] Google Summer of Code 2022

[Aritz Erkiaga]

Good evening,

I recently read that Google has opened its Summer of Code program to 
non-developers. Having used Avogadro for so long, and now even being an 
occasional contributor, I immediately rushed to write an application 
draft. Now I'm glad to see that Open Chemistry has been accepted.

Here's the draft: https://aerkiaga.github.io/docs/gsoc2022.pdf

I've tried my best to be comprehensive and offer useful improvements, 
but this document is subject to further updates throughout the month. 
I'll happily accept any proposals to extend my scope, or take on an 
entirely different project, as long as it's within my general interest: 
the application of Avogadro components to biochemistry and drug design. 
Performance work is also a task I'd appreciate; I've in fact optimized 
Avogadro's PDB import and hydrogen adjustment in the last few days to be 
50 and 15 times faster, respectively, so as to avoid long wait times 
during testing.

Regarding the changes I've already made, I'm unsure how or when I should 
publish them. I'm awaiting instructions on that front, and meanwhile 
I'll keep working on the code.

Cordially,

    Aritz Erkiaga
