Organization applications are due February 20th (next Friday). - Do we want to do it? - Who would like to volunteer to be the org admin? I would like for it not to be me again, but I can help walk anyone through the application process (which largely just pulls from the prior year's application). - Any thoughts on procedures or lessons learned from last year? Personally, I really liked the "micro-project" system from last year. It made it easy to drop spammy candidates (because they didn't bother to do a micro-project at all), and it gave us some interaction with the candidates before we had to make a decision. -Peff
