[Qgis-developer] Google Summer of Code liaison officer

Margherita Di Leo just sent out a reminder on the osgeo-gsoc-mentors
list that reviews need doing by tomorrow or the projects automatically
fail.

Alex appears to have gone very quiet - are you there? Can you do the
GSoC reviews? Do you need help? Can someone else do them? I'd do it
but as a proposed mentor I might be somewhat biased...

I think it might look bad if QGIS fails to engage with the OSgeo GSoC process.
