I read over what is in Google's application system, and it all looks good.

I did make one minor change, which is that I listed "Software Freedom Conservancy" as a foundation of which we are a member. I don't think it will make a difference either way to our application, but they may want to have it in their system, as it becomes relevant later on for invoicing the mentor payments.

Matthieu, thanks for coordinating the application effort this year. And thanks to everybody else for submitting ideas and microprojects.
