If <a href="http://haskell.org" target="_blank">haskell.org</a> people would like to take part again this year, then we need volunteers:<br>
<br>
First,<br>
* suggestions for suitable projects<br>
(in the past this was organised using a reddit)<br>
* an administrator to co-ordinate the application to Google<br>
(I have done it for the last three years but am very willing<br>
to hand on to someone else)<br>
<br>
Google will accept applications from organisations in the period 8th - 12th March 2010, approx 1900UTC.<br>
<br>
If <a href="http://haskell.org" target="_blank">haskell.org</a> is accepted again, students can apply between 29th March - 9th April.<br>
More volunteers will be required:<br>
<br>
* to review student applications and choose which to accept<br>
* to supervise the accepted students<br>
<br>
Both of these roles are called "mentor" in the Google system. Putting together a good team of mentors before applying as an organisation is helpful towards us being accepted into the programme.<br>
