The official timeline for SOCIS is described as follows on their website:
• March 2016: program starts, mentoring organizations can start
applying.
• 10/04/16: mentoring organizations application deadline (11pm UTC).
• Until 15 may 2016: Students apply
• June-August 2016: 3-months coding period
No specific date for mentoring organization selection is given, but an upper
bound is may 15 ...

Socis usually gives 1 slot per organization.
It happened in the past that some organization did
not manage to fill their slots, the (few) unused slots were
redistributed by a random draw among interested orgs.
So the most likely number of slots is 1.

Socis does not require mentors to register, everything is managed
by the org admin.
So all you need to do is to add your name to the
possible mentors in the list of proposed projects which is the same
as for GSOC, which you already did.
