Congrats! Last year I really enjoyed mentoring. :) Now I hope that we 
will be accepted as a mentoring organization (We should get that info on

It's good to start early working with the students on the project idea. 
It will make the proposal so much better, and in the end mentoring the 
student when you he has clear goals.

Last year this SoC list was pretty much dead, I hope that this year we 
can keep it active enough that people pay attention to what happens 
here. So the more the merrier. :)
