Hi,

the Linux Foundation is applying as a mentoring organization at the 
Google Summer of Code 2008:

To get our standards, specs, and projects implemented and to find new 
developers, we are offering several projects for students to implement:

https://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code

Everyone of you is invited to add his own project ideas. Please give 
also a project description of around 20-30 lines to attract students to 
work on the projects (will also follow for the projects which I have 
posted).

Note that we need all projects posted up to March 10, as March 12 is the 
deadline for mentoring organization applications.

You are also invited to help filling the mentoring organization 
application form as described on
