[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is accepted as a mentor organization for GSoC 2017!

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi Margherita: thanks for the update -- this is great news!

Given pycsw is part of this year's OSGeo offering I'd like to sign up as a
mentor.  I've done so at [1], however I cannot see how to register as a mentor
on [2].  Is there a specific area I should be looking at/for?

Cheers

..Tom
