Hi Udana, It is a bit early, but given the success form last year I think it is for sure that BioJava (as part of the the Open Bioinformatics Foundation) will apply again to become a mentoring organisation. Google will announce the list of accepted mentoring organizations on March 18th, afterwards the time to discuss proposals will start.
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/faqs#timeline Last year we had several Mentor proposed projects. Google is also very interested in seeing student proposed projects and they recommend those due to their high success rate. If you want to prepare a proposal you could already start thinking of what kind of project you would like to work on. Similarly, everybody else who wants to propose a project and perhaps become a mentor can also start to think about that. Still we will have to wait until March 18th before we will know if there is actually any funding this year.
