I suggest Wed March 5, 9pm CET (3pm Eastern, noon Pacific).

If there is at least one non-OpenPrinting project, the mentoring organization will be the Linux Foundation, otherwise it should perhaps better be OpenPrinting. According to our GSoC page https://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code there are non-OpenPrinting projects. We should also have a look at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_org_apply and answer all these 17 questions in the list, so that we can submit the application in time and so that we have good chances to be accepted. I could do the admin's or backup admin's job as OpenPrinting is one of the main contributors of projects. I will also be mentor of some of my suggested projects. We also need to do some more detailed project descriptions to be more attractive to students applying for a project. So let's prepare our application. Till
