Jonathan Leto has volunteered to spearhead the GSoC effort on behalf of the Perl community for 2009. Thank you, Jonathan.
For those who were involved (or just watching closely) in 2008, you may recall that we had a wonderful group of 40+ mentors volunteer and, sadly, not enough students to keep them all occupied.
Jonathan has A Proposal to change that, but will need help from your Perl Mongers group.
If we indeed have 340 active .pm groups, now would be a great time for some of them to demonstrate some activity.
