We've been invited to participate in the Summer of Code 2007.  :)

As such, we're invited to the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit  
2006.  Below is from the email which Leslie Hawthorn sent to the  
relevant administrative list; please see discussion continuing below it.

Two of our mentors are invited to an all-expenses-paid trip to  
schmooze and googlize, basically.  It sounds like a blast.  I'm  
really disappointed I won't be able to attend.  Any takers from the  
other mentors -- David, Augie, Brian, Peter, and Colin -- from this  
summer?  If more than two of you are interested in going and able to  
do so, we'll do something sufficiently pseudorandom to pick.

Cheers,
Evan
