I agree with Quim. It is little benefit if participation is non active. And, probably there were no serious intents for student participation this year, anyway. At least I was unable to find any related discussion, and this thread hasn't got attention also. In such conditions, participation of maemo would be wasting of mentors' time (and project slots, globally).
Initiative should come from prospective participants (students), I think. So we could spread the general idea about SoC in maemo comunity, early next year (around January). If students are active and there are any promising ideas, there would be little problems to find mentors. Moreover mentors would know in advance how many good project there are, and how many project slots to ask from Google.
