[open-science] Google Summer of Code 2014 options?

[Jenny Molloy]

Blog post is up but I appreciate this is a little late:
http://science.okfn.org/2014/03/15/google-summer-of-code-roll-up-for-some-great-open-science-projects/

As Tom says, if we start earlier next year it would be great to use the
experiences of those on the list who have been or are involved to promote
the opportunity and maybe offer the benefit of prior experience to
potential new mentoring organisations.
