George, thanks for being proactive about this

Several students are participating as part of GSoC this year, under the
umbrella of the Debian project

One thing that would help a lot is increasing the pool of mentors, some
students are sharing a mentor at the moment.  If you or anybody else
with C, C++ or Python experience can volunteer as a mentor, please
contact me privately.

Another thing I would encourage is joining the Free-RTC mailing list,
that is where we discuss some of the more strategic possibilities with
free software, not just limited to Telepathy:
