[info-gnuastro] Gnuastro in Google Summer of Code (GSoC 2020)

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Dear all,

GNU Astronomy Utilities[1] (Gnuastro) is participating in this year's 
Google Summer of Code[2] (GSoC) as part of the GNU organization, for the 
project ideas page see [3].

Through the Summer of Code program, Google offers interested students 
generous stipends to work on a free software package during the three 
months of summer and free software projects benefit from their 
contributions and help mentor them. In the case of Gnuastro, its not 
just raw software/programming, but it will also involve a fair share of 
Astronomical data analysis.

So if you know any students (undergraduate students are also welcome, 
and mostly encouraged) that may be interested in understanding how 
astronomical data are analyzed and improve it, want to learn how to 
contribute to a large project, *and* get paid by Google for doing this 
(which is also great for their CV!), please pass this onto them. They 
can be from any field, but I guess students in astronomy, computer 
science, or software engineering may be most interested.

Students can start submitting applications from Monday (March 16th), 
until March 30th.

Cheers,
Mohammad
