[SoC] Fwd: Google Summer of Code

[Andrew P. Black]

Folks,

I've been on the selection committee for the PSU GSoC projects for  
the last couple of years; one of my colleagues, Bart Massey, is  
pretty-well tied in with the Google selection process.  We will talk  
on Wednesday, and I'll try and get the inside track on what it will  
take to get accepted as an organization.

Appended is our conversation so far.

	Andrew
