Heads up! One more week to go for project ideas! Please update
https://github.com/OBF/GSoC/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013
with the latest links. And maybe a wakeup call to your lists?
If you are not on the Internet you don't exist. If you are not making

Kidding. But, the more ideas, the better.

* March 22nd: Finalise project ideas
* March 29th: Deadline OBF mentoring organisation submission to Google
