Hi all,

in less than a week the time slot for organizations to apply for
this year's Google Summer of Code opens. In my opinion our
participation last year (and the years before) had been a
success. We got a bunch of coding done, we also got new students
that stick with our great project and community and our
organization got some money, too. I also did a survey the year
before last, asking all mentors what they think about the output
of GSoC, about their students and especially if they think we
should reapply: Everyone did think so. I also did a survey last 
year; it's also been unanimous to apply again but with not so
much mentors participating in my survey.

Anyways, I'm suggesting to apply again this year and I'm again
willing to do the administrative tasks. We can start to apply
starting with the January, 19th. If I don't hear objections I'll
go forward and apply next week.

Please also consider adding your project ideas to the wiki
page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas)
now. No matter if you also consider to mentor or not. I'll set 
up the rest of the wiki pages soon.

Thanks,
Peda
