Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC] Infos for mentors + students

[Martin Braun]

This is a reminder that the submission deadline for proposals *on the
summer of code website* is this Friday, March 25th! For all those who
have proposals currently in the making, post it there, even if you're
not finished, just so they don't slip through the cracks.

Thanks!

Martin
