By "applications" I mean students applications. > Since SymPy is already under the NumFOCUS umbrella, how does NumFOCUS plan > to award slots to their organizations? > > We are certainly interested now that we were not selected as a mentoring > organization ourselves. I didn't discuss this with anyone yet since most of projects under NumFOCUS umbrella tried to be mentoring organization by themselves. I would suggest that every project have one admin and the admins meet this week to talk about it. > I understand that there is no Google mandate on how organizations divvy up > their slots.

Jason, you are correct. > For example, the materials are hosted under the SWC github account, not > NumFOCUS's, This happens because of time constrains. I would like to keep it this way for 2015 edition but next year we will host it under NumFOCUS account or a better place. > and the only ideas listed seem to be from Software Carpentry ( > https://github.com/swcarpentry/gsoc2015). This was because all others projects under NumFOCUS apply to be a mentoring organization.

As said before, will be great if I and people in charge of GSoC to SymPy could talk this week. Thursday 10am EST?
