Hi,

No it is not too late, deadline is August 4.
If you wish to apply you should fill in the application form 
on the socis website http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2013/.

As the application there is only visible to the project administrator, though.
I would recomend copying your project proposal also on the Octave wiki, so we 
can
all see it and discuss it.

As for suggestions about the particular project you propose, I am a bit worried 
that it may
overlap too much with the work already being carried out by Carnë. Please
take extra care of differentiating your proposed contribution from that already 
being 
done by him.
