So, the first question is: are there volunteers to be GSoC mentors this
year?

I can co-mentor this year too, with you or someone else.
With you I think it will work out even if you have less time than last year.

So, that makes it 4 possible co-mentors, i.e. 2 potential slots. Not
much, but it starts looking like last year ... ;-).

Peff, would you be willing to co-admin with me (that would be cool, you
are the one with most experience here and you know the SFC stuff for
payment)? Are there any other co-admin volunteer?

I don't know what level of Git development knowledge and what amount of time
is necessary but I would be available as junior co-mentor :-)

Cheers,
Lars

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.

We also need to fill out our profile. Those items are listed below.

Matthieu, I listed you as a co-mentor, so I think it will have sent you
an email to join the application I started (hopefully you didn't do the
exact same thing already... :) ).
