Hi guys, it seems there's the chance this year that we end up with more GSoC applications than available slots. Right now there are four people having expressed interest in it, and my impression so far is that the majority (or even all) may go the way through to an application.
That raises the question: How does the allocation of slots with GNU and Google is supposed to work? I'm sorry but I don't recall that from last year (only that we "lost" students along the way, ending up with an unused slot). Google says that slots are (partially?) assigned according to the number of applications, but I have no idea what that concretely means, especially as we are not the project itself but have GNU as a "proxy". So: do *we* have to approach GNU to apply for a number of slots? If so, when should we do that and who would do that?
