Actually I would rather have someone else be our org GSoC admin. If nobody
steps up, and we do want to participate, I can try again, but I don't want
to if there is someone else. The work that only the admin can do is fill
out our forms on the GSoC pages, it's not very time consuming. Last year, I
have not been arround when the project planning was going on, so I have no
experience how much work that is for the admin. In any case, I would rather
code and be a mentor again.
