[Foundation-l] Google Summer of Code

[Brion Vibber]

Google's doing their Summer of Code program again this year. We missed last
years', but I'm going to try signing us up as a mentoring organization this year.

Feel free to put any relevant-sounding project ideas here:

Mozilla's experience last year wasn't so good[1]; some of their projects didn't
complete, and most of them haven't been touched since the end of the summer.
Mono however had a much more positive experience[2], with most of their projects
completing and being further developed and adopted after the end.

So I think it will be important to try to engage the folks working on our
projects if we want to keep them. :)
