Description:
The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) is a Stockholm, Sweden based international non-profit science organization which develops collaborative neuroinformatics infrastructure and promotes sharing of data with the international research community. PyOpenWorm is a unified data access layer used share and collaborate the various types of research conducted on Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living nematode worm. Each year ( for the last 5 years ) INCF and PyOpenWorm specifically participate in The prestigious Google Summer of Code program that is administered by Google and through this Devsprint i aim to help you overcome the difficulties in contributing to Computational Biology and Neuroscience based Open Source Projects.
The end goal is that all participants will have created a Pull Request to solve one of many Beginner level issues on the PyOpenWorm github repository.
Prerequisites:
- Participants should be familiar with basic Python.
- Participants should be familiar with basic Git.
