Hello Sean, BRL-CAD community, are there any updates to the GSoC participation? I hope you are positive about annother run with GSoC this year! We over at FreeCAD updated our ideas page at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code
As there are only 2 days left for registering mentor organisations I like some feedback, as we would need at least a day to prepare a own registration if you decide to not participate as umbrella organisation.
