Margherita Di Leo just sent out a reminder on the osgeo-gsoc-mentors list that reviews need doing by tomorrow or the projects automatically fail.
Alex appears to have gone very quiet - are you there? Can you do the GSoC reviews? Do you need help? Can someone else do them? I'd do it but as a proposed mentor I might be somewhat biased... I think it might look bad if QGIS fails to engage with the OSgeo GSoC process.
