[SoC] Reminder for mentors & admins: summit draw

[Jeff McKenna]

So far only 1 mentor and 1 admin have committed to attend the mentor 
summit, by writing their name on the wiki[1].  If you are a mentor or 
admin interested in traveling to the Google summit in October, and meet 
the requirements listed on the wiki, please sign up in the next few 
hours, before the draw.
