I'm not aware of any discussion about participating in GSoC this year, though I am open to the idea. I was involved as a mentor a few years ago, but I wasn't terribly involved in the administrative side, so I don't know what's involved. I think then we did it under the umbrella of the PSF.
I'd be interested in exploring a GL backend further. What, from 10,000 m, is the main impedence mismatch between the current matplotlib backend design and OpenGL rendering?
