Well, I'm far from being a student and am not a European. So I think that disqualifies me. And I have my hands full just doing the work that I get paid for. I'd like to help in some way, though. I'd be willing to provide feedback and suggestions on the code.</div>

Tom's post reminded me of what I was thinking after Kelle's post earlier today: a really good project for someone would be to create a matplotlib-based spectral line fitting package. Maybe this ESA opportunity would work for that. Like many others I have my own routines that I've written to do this, but they are neither general enough nor user-friendly enough to be widely usable. I think that a focused effort on this could produce something that would be very helpful to many people. The requirements would be (just off the top of my head):</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">- gui interface, for example for placement of line centers</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">- general methods for inputting data (fits, hdf5, ascii table)</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">- robust fitting routines that return error bars on fitted parameters</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">- a range of possible line shape functions (e.g. gaussian, lorentz, etc.) and continuum fitting</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">- able to deal with both emission and absorption lines</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
I hope someone out there is interested in doing something like that.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Jon</div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
The deadline for mentoring organizations for the ESA Summer of Code in<br>
Space (SOCIS) 2013 is this coming Thursday.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2013/" target="_blank">http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2013/</a><br>
<br>
Since we were successful with the Google Summer of Code, the Astropy<br>
project will not be participating as a whole, but if you are leading<br>
the development of a Python package for astronomy, and are interested<br>
in having a student work on your project, you should consider<br>
applying! As part of this program, students are paid 4000 euros.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Tom<br>
<br>
