Are there any other co-admin volunteer? Yes, I'm willing to co-admin (though I'm also happy to step aside for somebody else if they would like to do it). The biggest task there is getting the application together. I went through the account creation steps at the site (which is different this year), and the application questions are: - Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code? - How many potential mentors have agreed to mentor this year? - How will you keep mentors engaged with their students? - How will you help your students stay on schedule to complete their projects? - How will you get your students involved in your community during GSoC? - How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC? - Has your org been accepted as a mentoring org in Google Summer of Code before? - Are you part of a foundation/umbrella organization? - What year was your project started? I think we can pull most of these answers from previous-year applications, but I haven't looked yet. In years past we collaborated on the answers via the git.github.io site, and I pasted them in place. -Peff
