As far as I'm aware the work involved here is: - submitting the organization application (in Jan) - soliciting and writing up project ideas (in Jan/Feb) - soliciting potential mentors for each project (often there is a natural match between idea and mentor) - spring - pairing up selected students/projects and mentors - spring - getting mentors to write evals for their students - summer - accepting funds - fall - if desired, distributing those funds in some way (when I helped Cognitect run it, we redistributed the funds to pay for students to travel to Clojure conferences) - fall
Great opportunity for someone to contribute!
