Friday is the deadline for *us* (SymPy) to submit our application to Google to be a mentoring organization. If they accept us, student applications will open on March 29 and their deadline is April 13. See https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline There is still time to update our ideas page. But ideally we should do it before Google reviews the applications, and definitely before they announce the participating organizations on March 9.
