No. I have forwarded this information to the ComDev PMC a few weeks back but nobody seems to have an interest in driving this.
I think we have never participated in GCI because the tasks don't match well with what we do and because mentoring juvenile high-school students is something very different than mentoring adult college students and probably a lot more time-consuming too.
