By the way, do we already know how many slots we will have ?

GSoC looks like this: 1. Students submit proposals to Google based off of the instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2014. 2. We the Boost community peer review the proposals and rank order them. 3. Google reviews the proposals and our rank ordering and peer review comments. 4. Google chooses which proposals they wish to fund. They usually resemble our rank ordering, but not always. The number of proposals they choose to fund is not known by us beforehand. For reference, 2006-2011 had ten slots. 2013 had seven slots. I personally would expect seven or less in 2014 as Google are increasing the number of open source projects, but allocating fewer slots to each.
