[GSoC] GSoC 2013 is ON

[Pjotr Prins]

Heads up! One more week to go for project ideas! Please update

  https://github.com/OBF/GSoC/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013

with the latest links. And maybe a wakeup call to your lists?

If you are not on the Internet you don't exist. If you are not making
use of GSoC, you might as well be dead ;).

Kidding. But, the more ideas, the better.

Pj.

* March 22nd: Finalise project ideas
* March 29th: Deadline OBF mentoring organisation submission to Google
