[gsoc] Time for mentors to register

[Tim Ellison <t....@gmail.com>]

Thanks to the committers who have volunteered to mentor a Harmony 
project with the Google Summer of Code.  You should now:

1) Ensure you are listed as a mentor for a Harmony project on the ASF 
wiki [1].  The project description should be both informative and 
appealing.  This is the text that potential students will read to choose 
a project.

2) Register with the GSoC webapp, and be sure to check the ASF as an 
organization with which you will mentor a project [2].

3) Subscribe to the ASF code awards mailing list where details of the 
ASF side of the organization take place (code-awards@a.o).  Let them 
know you have subscribed as a mentor so your application can be authorized.

AFAIU there is no committer currently assigned with FreeCol on Harmony
initiative. So I'd like to add myself to the list of mentors if no one
objects. So there will be two mentors for this project: me and Alexei
F.

I remembers my early student days when I was spending many hours on
playing the original Colonization game from Sid Meier... And I'm glad
that the game is still alive and there are people who are ready to
contribute their time on improving and even making sequels.

BTW the task itself looks quite ambitious since as far as I understand
FreeCol is not able to run even on OpenJDK due to some font rendering
problems. And our implementation of Swing/AWT is currently far from
perfect. However, it is well known that 'quitters never win'. So lets
try to do this.

With Best Regards,
Alexei
