Howdy folks, 

	I'm very happy to announce that the Postgres project has been selected to 
participate in this years Google Summer of Code program.  Over the next couple 
weeks we'll be looking to solidify our mentor base; if you work on Postgres 
and would be willing to mentor a student, please send me a note so we can get 
you signed up.  If you are a student and you're interested in working on 
Postgres, now is the time to get your proposal together. Student applications 
will open up on March 29th, so we'd like to have our mentors in place for 
review, and hopefully had students discussing with the Postgres devs their 
proposals as much as needed. If anyone has any questions, feel free to email 
me, or track me down on irc.
