[SoC] Mentoring organisation application - call for review

[Alex Mandel]

Pierre,

That doesn't look like the right link you need (not sure where the right
one is though). But I can explain the difference.

A Mentoring Organization + Org Admin is in charge of the application to
GSOC and submitting rankings of student applications to fill slots.

A Mentor, actually oversees the work of a specific student on a specific
project as picked by the Org above. The mentor needs to be registered
because they have to write reviews of the students progress.

Now to find the right page for you to register...

Thanks,
Alex

The form says: "Before you can apply to be a org_admin with an organization in Google Summer of Code, you must fill out this form in order create a profile." Seems to me that this is targeted at the organisation admin, which I understand to be you, Anne? Am I missing something? Do we have to register through this form (http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/profile/org_admin/google/gsoc2012) as mentor?
