Hi devs,
Yesterday Google has announced the beginning of the Mentoring Organizations
Application period for GSoC 2016 [1].
I want to do a quick poll in asking our committers if there are people
amongst us interested in participating to GSoC this year, who are willing
to propose some projects and to possibly mentor a student during this
summer.
I`ve already reset XWiki`s GSoC 2016 page [2] where we would be adding or
reviving project proposals, but I need to know if there are mentors
available.
So please let me know ASAP, since the deadline for the org application is
in 10 days (19th of February) and we would need to move quickly.
Thanks,
Eduard
P.S.: Below you have the original announcement mail.

Hello everyone,
We are now accepting applications from open source projects interested in
participating as mentor organizations for Google Summer of Code 2016.
Visit our new website to apply as an organization today. For helpful tips
on what is expected as a mentor organization and as a mentor or org admin
for GSoC 2016 read the Mentor Manual.
One person from your Org must act as an Organization Administrator and
submit the application for your organization. The organization application
process consists of 3 parts:
Application -- answering straightforward questions about why your org
would like to mentor students in GSoC
Organization Profile -- details about your organization that will be used
to attract students to your organization (short and long descriptions of
your org, contact methods, etc.)
There must be at least 2 Organization Administrators per org. The Org
Admin who creates the application will need to invite another person to be
the 2nd Org Admin and that person will need to accept the invitation in
order for this requirement to be met.
Once these 3 sections are completed your application is done (you can see
your progression on the site with the % complete visual). You can continue
to edit your application until the deadline.
Deadline to submit your Organization Application: Friday, February 19 at
19:00 UTC. Be sure to look at the timeline for more important dates for the
program.
We will not accept late applications under any circumstances.
Good luck to all org applicants!
Best,
Stephanie Taylor
