[SoC] [OSGeo-Discuss] Google Summer of Code 2015

[Margherita Di Leo]

Dear Cristiano,

I was under the impression that you had requested that the project idea
were hosted by OSGeo and indeed your idea is linked from the OSGeo ideas
page: see [1].
However I have also seen that the same idea is listed within the OSM ideas
[2]. This year OSM does not participate under the OSGeo's umbrella, since
they have been accepted as a separate mentoring organization. I'm afraid
this duplication is creating some confusion. Please let us know if you have
changed your mind and you are no longer applying under OSGeo.

Best,
Madi
