+
+GSoC
+----
+
+40 GSoC students passed mid-term, one failed to submit a midterm evaluation: 
+in future, we should include a request to remind their students in the 
+reminders we send out to mentors about evaluations.
+
+Feedback from admins regarding the applications process this years was that 
+there was confusion and chaos around the selection process. Many
+orgs had the same issues as the Melange webapp has changed
+significantly this year. This has been the case each year so far, yet we
+continue to be hopeful that next year will go more smoothly as a result!
+
+We haven't heard any complaints about the projects that did (or didn't)
+get selected in the end, and in fact, we ended up giving back a couple
+of slots because we didn't have the proposals to fill them out. This is
+the first time this has happened, normally we take extra slots rather than
+give them back.
+
+It is also notable that a few projects have a larger than normal number 
+of students. We need to explore whether this is a change of attitude towards
+GSoC within the ASF or a lack of outreach work on the part of the ComDev PMC.
+It is my opinion (Ross) that the annual chaos of the selection process puts
+mentors off - it's simply too much work tracking the moving goalposts.
