Who handles that stuff (application as an org, etc)? Have we applied,
do we need to apply? IOWs, who do I hound?

For good or bad, I'm a veteran mentor of 2 GSoCs, I hope that some of
the subprojects I'm thinking of are compelling :-)

Most of this year I've been doing the unsexy, burdensome plumbing,
deferring the fun stuff. If GSoC'ers grab the fun stuff, more power to
them.
