He is right, we already are rather late in the GSoC time line[1] and we 
didn't even contact the GNU people [2] and told them that we want to 
participate. I think Adam sorted that our last year. Maybe it still 
isn't to late to apply with GNU? Anybody willing to contact them? Greg, 
Adam, Lars? I may not be the best person for that this year, having 
stolen half the GNU dinner reservation at FOSDEM :-)

Next we will have to come up with a list of proposed projects. For this 
we may just reuse the list from last year [3]. And perhaps add the 
implementation of UIKit.

As for mentors, we may again reuse last year's list [4]. David already 
stated that he is willing to do it again and I hope to find time to do 
so as well. We should try to have plenty of mentors and assign the one 
that is best suited for the task. Not sure whether lasts years Google 
SoC accounts will still work or if the mentors all need to sign up again.

Cheers
Fred
