[SoC] Regarding GSoC Mentor Summit 2017

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi Rohith,

I reply here also to Barry that posed the same question.
The policy of OSGeo regarding Mentor Summit has been so far the following:
admins are given priority to go, and if they can't make it, or if Google
offers more invitations (as happened 2 years ago), mentors apply for it. 2
years ago there was a sort of "lottery" for the invitations. In any case,
whoever says that will go, also commits to going, because it's taking the
place of someone else that could go.
This year the conversation among admins regarding this has hardly started,
so please allow some more time to come up with names of people that commit
to go. In case 1 or 2 places are free, we will let mentors know and will
find a way to put in place some sort of selection among the mentors who
want to go. In any case, we are aware that preparation for the travel
requires due time, for visa application, etc. This applies to almost all of
us, so we'll take this into account.

Thanks,
Regards
