[GSoC] [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

[Robert Buels]

Hurray!

Would someone else be interested in being the org admin for OBF this 
year?  Preferably someone who's been an OBF mentor in one of the 
previous years?  I've got a lot of things on my plate.

If someone else will be the primary, I can certainly volunteer as a backup.

Rob
