Hi folks, I'm the secretary of Clojurists Together. Thanks very much for the background on GSoC and the kind words Alex :)
Clojurists Together would be happy to help provide the backing admin infrastructure (bank accounts, international payments, etc.) and oversight to help run GSoC. However, I don't think anyone on the committee has the bandwidth to be the primary person to lead the GSoC project; we'd need someone from the community to volunteer to be that person. If someone else wants to run this as part of a different organisation that's also totally fine with us, don't consider this us calling "dibs". Thanks, Daniel.
