Hi Andrew and Darshan

Octave is applying to GSoC as an independent organization too.  So
yes, there are mentors available but at this moment there are also a
lot of applicants.

There are a few pages on the Octave wiki about GSoC too, namely Summer
of Code Projects Ideas [1] which includes steps on how to apply.  We
don't really have mentors full-time, but the community is very active
and if you make questions on IRC or the mailing lists, you're likely
to get a reply.
