A)<br><br>Mentors, you may have caught the traffic on the GSoC mentor's list about the <a href="https://gsoc-wiki.osuosl.org/index.php/2009">mentor's summit</a> on October 24th and 25th (+ some on the evening of the 23rd). Google is paying for 2 slots from each organization, but in all probability has room at the summit for more. As far as I can tell from asking on IRC, the people interested in going are Andres, Bryan, and myself. Roughly, the tickets for Andres and Bryan put together should cost the $2000 that Google is fronting for travel. My ticket, including bus fare to Mexico City, should be just under $500. The options for paying that:<br>
<br>1. I pay myself - I would probably not be able to, so wouldn't come<br>2. Bryan and Andres each give me 20% of their travel subsidy, so that we all end up with 80% subsidy and paying 20% (ie, figure out how to make the percentages even). This is better from my perspective and worse from theirs.<br>
3. Sugar Labs uses part of the $2500 it made from GSoC to fund my travel. This would of course be nice from our perspective. Walter, does it look feasible from Sugar Lab's?<br><br>Then, we get to Mountain View. My parents live in Portola Valley, which is the next town over - about 35/70 minutes to/from Google by bike, 15 or 20 by car. They have offered that if either or both of you want to stay with them, especially for a night or to before or after the summit so you can sightsee a bit, you're welcome.<br>
<br>B)<br><br>Silbe, please put something there at <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code</a>. It can be 2 or 3 paragraphs, it doesn't have to be a lot. I haven't seen you on IRC lately...<br>
<br>Cheers to all,<br>Jameson<br>
