I’ve been a GSOC mentor but this is quite different, very fast paced and with a short time frame.

My youngest daughter participated in GHOP two years ago on several Python tasks and is eager to get started this year. We also have a Korean foreign exchange student who would be great for internationalization projects.

This IS exactly why I’m so pro open-source in education.

Open source, open learning!
