Howdy, Sorry for the confusion, I had some emergency travel recently and have not spread the word properly.
rafl++ has stepped up to be the org admin for The Perl Foundation this year, I will help him with the transition. I will be the org admin for Parrot Foundation this year. I have already applied both TPF and PaFo to GSoC 2011. The most important thing now is to improve our ideas pages: https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/gsoc and http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/GSoc2011 If TPF would like to use a different page, please let me know soon, since org apps cannot be modified after 11pm PST today. In my opinion, the ideas page is the most important part of an organization applying to GSoC. If both Parrot's and TPF's ideas pages stay the way they are right now, I am not sure we will be accepted this year. An idea page should have very specific ideas, with links for more information, lists of possible mentors, prior art, difficulty levels, etc. Here is an example of Etherboot's ideas page from last year: http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/ideas When in doubt, emulate Etherboot. IMHO, they are the most organized community in GSoC and have been part of GSoC every single year it has existed. Google will be looking at the ideas pages this weekend, so this is time-sensitive. If you have ideas, please add them to the appropriate page. An "idea template" is probably a good idea as well, so people can copy and past something and fill in the details.
