From which only 6 have two mentors confirmed in Google Melange today. 13 have one mentor, 22 have not been claimed by any mentor so far. Next Monday we will start calculating the number of slots we want to request to Google, and we will only consider projects with two mentors, or with one mentor and a good reason for an exception. I have been poking a few candidates and a few potential mentors, but I'm not insisting. As explained in our selection process, we are evaluating teams, not just candidates. Some teams have done their homework already, not just in terms of mentors, and this tells something about their potential. > * 18 OPW proposals from 18 candidates, one of them a GSoC candidate as well > Next Monday we will also start calculating the number of OPW slots we aim for. The confirmation of mentors for OPW proposals is all in all clear, the remark is that there are no remarks. There are many projects that have received several proposals.
