Dear project members,
Google Summer of Code program (GSoC) 2012 has been announced last
week-end during FOSDEM [1,2]. Debian is going to apply for participation
as we did in the past. I'm glad to inform you that we have again
volunteers as (co-)admins for Debian participation: Ana Guerrero,
Gergely Nagy, and Sukhbir Singh. Many thanks to all of them!
GSoC admins coordinate Debian participation, interact with the students
(often Debian newbies), and indirectly deal with the money who are used
to sponsor the initiative. It is a role of responsibility and involves
representing Debian in various ways. I'm therefore pleased to properly
delegate the role to this year GSoC admins. Formal delegation text can
be found below [3].
I'm confident you will hear from the admins about how to contribute very
soon. In the meantime it won't hurt if you could start thinking at your
Debian project proposals for GSoC 2012.
Cheers.

DD, but he will be helping out Ana and Gergely with the tasks
described below nonetheless

Task Description
