here for now.

I need email addresses for mentors so I can add you to the 
organization (D Foundation). I can hunt most of you down, but it 
would be easier if you got in touch with me:

craig dot dillabaugh at gmail dot com

Also, if you are not currently listed as a mentor, but are 
interested I think it is still fine to add new names.


Also, we should put together a selection committee to review the 
student proposals (once they are submitted).  I will give some 
thought on how to come up with this committee, but any nominatios 
are welcome.  Potential mentors should be involved in evaluation, 
but I would like the final 'selection' done by a group outside 
the mentors, since the mentors are to some extent in a conflict 
of interest (they will presumably favor projects targeted at 
their area of expertise).

Cheers,

Craig

I just had time to see the results today, congratulations on the 
approval into GSOC! Very exciting time as a student who enjoys 
programming in D. Although I may not be able to apply due to 
work, it's awesome that a group of students will be able to work 
full time on projects that directly benefit the D community.

Best of luck to mentors and students alike!

Haven't yet found email addresses for a few mentors (if you are 
available this year):

Iain Buclaw
Jacob Ovrum

Also, there is still time to sign up if you are a potential 
mentor.


For those of you interested in mentoring, the following is a good 
(and short) read on how students should be selected:
