| Hi GSoC mentors and org admins,
| 
| We've announced that we're doing Google Summer of Code 2013 [1]. Yay!
| 
| If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have presentations
| [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use. Please host meetups, tell
| your friends and colleagues about the program, go to conferences, talk to
| people about the program, and just generally do all the awesome
| word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote the program.
| 
| The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been updated with this
| year's important dates, so please refer to those for the milestones for
| this year's program. NB: the normal timeline for the program has been
| modified for this year. You'll probably want to examine the dates closely
| to make sure you know when important things are happening.
| 
| Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your
| native language and submitting them directly to me to post on the wiki.
| Localization for our material is integral to reaching the widest possible
| audience around the world. If you decide to translate a flyer, please fill
| out our form to request a thank you gift for your effort. [5]
| 
| If you decide to host a meetup, please email me to let me know the date,
| time, and location so I can put it on the GSoC calendar. Also, remember to
| take pictures at your meetup and write up a blog post for our blog using
| our provided template for formatting [6]. If you need promotional items for
| your attendees, please fill out our form [7] to request some; we're happy
| to send some along. We can provide up to about 25 pens, notebooks, or
| stickers and/or a few t-shirts. Please keep in mind, though, that shipping
| restrictions and timeline vary country-to-country; request items early to
| make sure they get there on time! If you have questions about hosting
| meetups, please see the section in our FAQ [8].
| 
| Please also consider applying to participate as an organization again this
| year or maybe joining as a mentor for your favorite organization if they
| are selected this year.
| 
| We rely on you for your help for the success of this program, so thank you
| in advance for all the work you do!
