Applications for participation as a mentoring organization are now being accepted by Google for their Summer of Code program. Do we want to try to participate this year? we have a week or so to get our act together and apply. I'm not sure if applying early is beneficial or not. I'd be glad to manage things if there's an interest in participating, but not a desire to actually spend time on it :)
I imagine that a mentor would be expected to provide support and assistance for any ongoing projects. My guess is that it would mostly consist of answering emails from the participating student.
Let me know your thoughts, and maybe we can get something started...
