[GSoC] OBF accepted as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2014

[Raoul Bonnal]

Dear Eric and All,
do we know if there are  bioinformatic related org which have not been accepted ?
I think that would be fair for them to offer a place where host their projects under obf, going in the direction of cross projects.
Obviously we must balance the number of projects from these hosted orbs, we can ask them if they are interested and in case propose a curated selection of projects to limit the number of hosted projects. I think that Google like this kind of kindness and this could be chance to show the role of OBF.

So if you are aware of some Org and possibly specific projects that need to be hosted, please let us know.
