Hi GSoC mentors and org admins, 

We've announced that we're doing Google Summer of Code 2013 [1]. Yay! 

If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have presentations [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use. Please host meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the program, go to conferences, talk to people about the program, and just generally do all the awesome word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote the program. 

The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been updated with this year's important dates, so please refer to those for the milestones for this year's program. NB: the normal timeline for the program has been modified for this year. You'll probably want to examine the dates closely to make sure you know when important things are happening. 

Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your native language and submitting them directly to me to post on the wiki. Localization for our material is integral to reaching the widest possible audience around the world. If you decide to translate a flyer, please fill out our form to request a thank you gift for your effort. [5]

If you decide to host a meetup, please email me to let me know the date, time, and location so I can put it on the GSoC calendar. Also, remember to take pictures at your meetup and write up a blog post for our blog using our provided template for formatting [6]. If you need promotional items for your attendees, please fill out our form [7] to request some; we're happy to send some along. We can provide up to about 25 pens, notebooks, or stickers and/or a few t-shirts. Please keep in mind, though, that shipping restrictions and timeline vary country-to-country; request items early to make sure they get there on time! If you have questions about hosting meetups, please see the section in our FAQ [8].

Please also consider applying to participate as an organization again this year or maybe joining as a mentor for your favorite organization if they are selected this year. 

We rely on you for your help for the success of this program, so thank you in advance for all the work you do!
