2) Google Summer of Code

- End of this week is deadline for submitting Blender Foundation as Google Summer of code organization. Tom Musgrove will be handling this, Ton Roosendaal will coordinate the day-to-day GSoC duties.

User wish list;

Official page for developers:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/GoogleSummerOfCode/2012/Ideas

- The target is to get the official ideas page to only mention ideas that:
  a) are commonly accepted projects, fitting in roadmap
  b) are being backed up by the module owners
  c) are likely to get a mentor who can also review code and help migrating code to trunk

Thanks,

-Ton-
