I am hoping for X.Org to once again participate in Google's Summer of Code program in 2010. It has been very successful for us in the past. The mentoring organization application period starts in a week or two.
In previous years, I've tried to share the responsibility for being Org Admin for Google/X.Org SoC. It hasn't worked very well, maybe because of communication fail on my part. I guess I'm willing to continue leading this if no one else qualified wants to, but I'd also be happy to turn it over entirely to someone else; I can also give you some tips above and beyond what is in the GSoC Mentoring Guide [1] I helped write last summer. SO: If you're a hard-working person with good communication, organization and time management skills who would like to be the Google/X.Org Summer of Code Organization Administrator in 2010, please let me know. Past experience with GSoC would be a big plus here, as would good contacts in the X.Org Dev community. Above all, you'll be on the hook to make sure that the program succeeds. Google only continues to fund those Mentoring Orgs that consistently keep up with their paperwork and get good results for / from the students. Thanks for your time and potential interest.
