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...

Does anyone have a list of possible projects for them to work on?

i started a list, but there is much room for more: http://steam.iaeste.at/pike/discuss/ideas/
greetings, martin.
Also see:

Additionally, I'm sure we'd love to have work done on the embedding interface, as well as some other things. I guess it all depends on what said student is interested in.

I'd be surprised if Roxen would not consider supporting people working on an Agile Pike project, bringing strongly convention backed Model View Controller goodness to Roxen, spoiling the developer as much as Ruby on Rails does a Ruby programmer. Particularly as larger research projects like that are no longer quite what Roxen IS does in-house.
There is a lot of catching up with what has happened in the outside world on that front, so I'm sure isolating one or several smaller sub projects would be more than feasible too.
Could be a really good project(s), especially since a number of us have been working on our own MVC environments for Pike.

I've sent a letter of interest to the SOC admins saying we'd like to participate. In the mean time, it would be nice if anyone with ideas about potential projects (or time to assist any student projectees) could drop that info in one of the two locations we have for project ideas:
http://www.gotpike.org/PikeWiki/index.pike/PikeRequests http://steam.iaeste.at/pike/discuss/ideas/ (I'm having trouble getting to it today, but it was working the other day)
or alternately, drop a line here and we'll sort it out.

incidentally, I heard back from google, and their rationale is that they've only got a limited amount of funding. Not sure if they had any sub-criteria to determine who got the limited funding, but they said we could apply to be a mentor for some other organization and have someone work on our project. I guess that would require someone to be interested in working on one, eh?
