Just for the record, we have replied to Sarwat privately to say that we would be glad to coach her team. At least three mentors (myself, Steve Sylvester, and Stéfan van der Walt) will be participating this year, so we would definitely encourage more RGSoC applicants! As with GSoC, we encourage candidates to get a pull request accepted to the project before Mar 1. We have a list of "easy to contribute" issues: https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+l... Juan.

Hello,

I am interested in applying for Scikit-image project in Rails Girls Summer of Code 2017 and looking for coaches who can guide us through. My background is in neuroinformatics where I have used signal processing & machine learning techniques to process, extract features and classify brain signals (like EEG, MEG). The main tools that I have command on are Matlab and Python. In Python, I have mainly worked with scikit-learn and numpy libraries. I have also worked with MNE and pyriemannian tools for Python.

I am currently in talk with two potential team members. I am hoping one of them will be able to give full time for this project. Both have a background in Python development.

Since you have already been working with scikit-image, we can get better guidance from you. Kindly let me know if you are interested in coaching us.

I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

Regards, Sarwat Fatima & Aqsa Ahmed. _______________________________________________ scikit-image mailing list scikit-image@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/scikit-image
