Since I missed the Google Summer of Code boat last year I decided to search a bit and see what's up for this year... Turns out it was just announced today!

Any ideas on whether pd (iem) will include projects as a mentoring organization this year? I'd be really interested in applying as a student.

No matter who is the host org for this, we should definitely do it
again. The funding is based on how many people apply as students and
as mentors, so we should all work together to get as many
applications in as possible.
Last time, we did this as "IEM", but AFAIK, all of the projects were
Pd related. It seems that basically all of the orgs that are
included in GSoC are software projects (blender, pidgin/gaim, etc.)
Perhaps it would make more sense to apply as "Pd". Ultimately, all
that matters is that we get funding for people to do work, so however
it happens is fine by me.

Yes we should have more mentors. Last year were only two if I remember correctly, so we also got only 2 students ...

I also think applying as Pure Data would be much nicer ... let's discuss this at the LAC ...
Everyone who wants to be a mentor should say it. Maybe all the developers who are no students anymore ;) : Frank?, Ben?, Claude?, Chris?, Miller? (names just from the last mails in the list)
