You have 24 hours from right now to submit your Google Summer of Code 
project ideas to our wiki, so get on it! I need to put in our 
application by Friday afternoon, but I'll be traveling most of the day 
Friday. (BTW if anyone's in the Bay Area for PyCon or just near Santa 
Clara, let me know.)

For those of you who haven't been following the gentoo-soc list or the 
GSoC program previously, it's a great program where we get college 
students to spend a summer working full-time on Gentoo, funded by 
Google. You can read more about the broader program at 
<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012>.

If you have projects that have been burning itches for months and/or 
years and just can't find the time to get to them, this is a great 
opportunity to get things started and even find a long-term maintainer 
once the project is started.

Our GSoC wiki subsite is at 
<http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012> and the ideas 
page is at 
<http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012/Ideas>. If you 
have project ideas, this is the place to put them. It's critical to also 
include potential mentors and prerequisite skills so students know which 
ideas make sense and where to learn more about them.
