Avogadro (and OpenChemistry) has been accepted into the Google Summer of Code for 2016:

> **[Open Chemistry - 2016 - Google Summer of Code Archive](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/organizations/6038224459792384/)**

If you are a student and interested in doing open chemistry software development this summer (or know of someone who is), we’re definitely interested in good proposal ideas.

Looking forward to a summer of great science!
