Message-ID: Please share this request with math and computer science students: I'm a volunteer mentor for the open source R Project for Statistical Computing in the Google Summer of Code again this year. How can I find students interested in earning USD $5000 this summer working on an important statistics task that doesn't exist in open source: http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2011:msfga Google approved a whole lot more projects this year than last, so I am having a very hard time finding students to mentor. Are there other good mailing lists for college statistics, math, or computer science students or faculty to try?

I will get in touch with our computing department next week to help you spread the word around. I also copy on this email ITS Training Leaders - Nancy, Mark, is this something that could be of interest?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: James, you may want to reach out to my colleagues, Matt Jockers and Claudia Engel, both of whom use R in their research, and both interact with students in their labs and courses. They might have good candidates in mind.
