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

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hello Tom!

Thank you for mentoring this year! Remember that we need two mentors for
each idea and one can be a primary mentor only for one idea..
Regarding the google platform: on top right there is a "log in" button, you
should use your gmail account. At a certain stage, I or the other admins
should "invite" your gmail account to be part of the OSGeo organization on
the platform. In order to do that, let us know which email account you are
using. If you want to try right now I can make the trial with you (you're
the first mentor). We can talk on #osgeo-gsoc at freenode
