Here's some info we need to apply:
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/faqs#mentoring_apply

We need to set up a wiki page with proposed projects (we can use the
github one for now) to let students know what we're looking for. We
also need a program admin and back up admin.

Each student will get $5000 US and LibreCAD will get $500 per student,
from google. There is also a conference in CA at Google's headquarters
that mentoring organizations get to go to.

Here's KDE's ideas page:
http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2011/Ideas

of course it's massive, since KDE is massive - but each project
follows a similar format.

I'd hate to dump more responsibility on Ries and Dongxu - but would
you two be interested in being the admins? I can help with that too
(or even be an admin for administrative purposes) but you two are much
closer to the code. You would also probably be the mentors, along with
Rallaz if he's interested - so if it's too much work I can offload
some of the paperwork stuff.
