As you all know, last year our application was unsuccessful, which is
why I'd like us all to collaborate on putting Ubuntu's application as a
mentoring organisation together.
As far as I recall the particular point which was problematic the last
time was a lack of distinct project ideas. Pointing to Ubuntu Brainstorm
or a list of unfinished blueprints is not enough. We need a list of
project ideas we'd be willing to mentor.
There is a check list of things available we need to answer to be able
to apply. [3]
Please help filling out our application. This is important.

I had a number of conversations with a few people already and I think
it's worth clarifying that this cycle I won't have the time to act as
the mentoring organisation liaison (if we should be chosen by Google
this time).
I just felt it important enough to make sure we all try to submit a
great application, so Ubuntu contributors can spend the summer making
Ubuntu better.
So far we have 8 project ideas on the wiki page, we have some bits of
the questionnaire already answered and one person potentially interested
in being a contact person for the mentoring organisation.
Have a great day,
Daniel
I believe like dholbach that this is a very worthwhile program for
Ubuntu to engage in and will benefit not only the mentees but also the
Ubuntu Community
and hopefully we can pull this together this year.
