Hi --

As you know, Ruby Central is participating this year as a Google  
Summer of Code mentoring organization. We've already got a number of  
mentors signed up, and are looking forward to getting student  
applications.

The student applications start coming in on May 1, and the ranking  
starts on May 8, so if you want to be a mentor and haven't applied  
yet, please let me know and I'll give you the URL to go to. (Google  
is trying to minimize publication of the URL to avoid spamming.)

You have to sign up at Google (and be accepted by Ruby Central) to be  
a mentor, and you have to get the URL to do so, so please let me know  
if you're interested.

Thanks --

David
