[SoC] Re: OSGeo Google Summer of Code

Could we get a GeoServer slot?  I'm fine if it's after PostGIS.  We got 
two specific applications, one that's really good, but there's also two 
really good GeoTools apps, so if we have wait for a GeoTools slot then 
it might not make it, and we have a few people signed up specifically 
for GeoServer mentorships.
