From Monday on students can apply for GSoC projects. Mentors can already apply at https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013. So far we have four possible mentors (for uBLAS, odeint, graph and benchmark). Are there others who would like to mentor? Then please pick a project from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013 or propose your own (like I did a few days ago: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/240251).
Applying as a mentor doesn't mean that you must mentor a student. Among others it all depends on if and how many student applications we will receive. But having a few more mentors just in case would be nice. :)
What is actually involved in being a mentor all I could find from the SoC website is that it generally takes ~5 hours a week.
