[AstroPy] Google Summer of Code 2017 students announced!

[Aldcroft, Thomas]

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that three students have been accepted into the
Google Summer of Code to work on Astropy-related projects! The students are
(in alphabetical order):

*Aarya Patil*: Astropy: A mixin protocol for seamless interoperability
(primary mentor: Tom Aldcroft)

*Adeel Ahmad*: HiPS client for Python (primary mentor: Christoph Deil)

*Ayush Yadav*: Adding additional archives to astroquery - National Optical
Astronomy Observatory Science Archive (primary mentor: Adam Ginsburg)

If you have any questions about any of the projects, you can contact the
primary mentors indicated above.

We are currently in what Google calls the 'Community Bonding Period',
during which the mentors and students are planning the project in more
detail, and where the students are encouraged to participate in discussions
on this mailing list and on GitHub. Coding starts on May 30th!

Congratulations to the selected students, and thank you to all the students
who applied to GSoC to work on the Astropy project this year!

Cheers,
Tom A
