OK, it seems the last message did not raise a lot of enthousiasm (unless I missed some off-list discussion at Git-Merge?).

The application deadline is tomorrow. I think it's time to admit that we won't participate this year, unless someone steps in really soon.

If we don't participate, I'll add a disclaimer at the top of the SoC-related pages on git.github.io to make sure students don't waste time preparing an application.
