Hi, First of all, for those who haven't heard yet: we are participating in Google Summer of Code again, under the GNU Project umbrella.
Now that the new GSoC software is finally rolled out on google-melange.com, mentors can sign up for the organisations. It's about time: students will start sending their applications on monday! So if you want to mentor students for the Hurd, please sign up for GNU. The procedure is a bit quirky; took me a while to figure out. First, go to http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2011/gnu There you should see a "Register" button. Once you are done with that, go *again* to the above URL (make sure you reload the page if it's in the browser cache), and now you should see a "Request" button instead. Leave a message saying that you want to mentor for the Hurd, and (hopefully) some time soon you should get a confirmation. BTW, we already have a couple of promising student candidates asking stuff on IRC :-) -antrik-
