The GSoC-OBF application has been submitted to Google. The
applications will be reviewed from next week.

So, one week to go for project ideas. Please add at least one link to
your project ideas (page) on either the github page below or the main
OBF GSoC wiki page. I'll combine them in the final stage. Make sure to
show a primary mentor for every idea, and a secondary (backup) mentor.

Thanks,

Pj.
