When is the deadline for mentors? Looking at http://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html I can not find a mail archive for code-awards at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ Looking at the given labeled issue query https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?requestId=12315361 I am able to find 6 tasks labeled with "gsoc 2012"and two additional labeled with "gsoc2012"
In addition I have seen a broken manual at http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoringGuide At the Google Calendar http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012 I get the impression I got till start of Monday, left! PS: I know Google sponsors the event, but what's exactly in for mentors and mentees - aside of glory and training?
