Hi Uli, there are two issues at hand: 1 - The application due Feb 6th and concern that you've been ill. So Maxim stepped up and has been leading getting the application done. That is considered time-sensitive and no one seems to have the statistics about student success/failure from GSoC2018. We have the 2017 information as you noted elsewhere. Hopefully that's good to go now. This was the reason for the time-sensitive subject line. 2 - The other issue at hand is not as time sensitive. There are various other paperwork for the program that are required as the year goes on that need to be handled to get the donation from Google. I've handled it for the past 2 years and I'm exiting the role. I'm not being replaced in a 1:1 fashion so there are duties that I have been handling that I'm concerned about due to a retraction of duties that will leave GSOC slipping through the cracks. I'd prefer that not happen. Maybe if you can volunteer to handle that for Fundraising, that would be good? I don't think it should fall under treasurer but the issue is it will take someone in a financial role to handle a lot of it. Another idea is to light a fire under the financial committee and add this to the tasks it handles as an intermediary to give oversight to treasurer and assistance to fundraising where they need.
