Applications are now open, and I've started going through the process. Several people offered to be a backup admin, but the form only allows us to have one backup.
For those of you who've offered, do you specifically want to help with the admin side (mostly a matter of chasing up mentors for evaluations, and mentors & students for mid-term and final reports), or would you be equally happy to help by proposing, evaluating or mentoring projects (a task that doesn't require you to be an admin)? You'll get a t-shirt either way :-) If you really want to help with the admin side, please create a profile in Melange (http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012) and send me your linkid. Uli, unless you object, I'd suggest that we put someone who hasn't been an admin before as the "official" backup (so that they can see the whole thing from the inside). Your help is very, very welcome, of course, but I think it's advantageous to spread the knowledge too :-) Noirin
