Not all of you are Perl people ... but for those of you who are ...  
and who haven't see this through another list.

Subject: [Dahut-pm] Google Summer of Code
Message-ID: <56C0563D-4DD3-4B5B-AE08-0A1059D83F69@prather.org>

I'm a mentor this year for the Google Summer of Code. And thought  
itwould be good to pass this along.

Hi all,

If you are a student or know a student who could be doing  
somethingwithMoose this summer, you need to act NOW. The application  
deadline is Monday, but if you haven't gone through acouple rounds of  
feedback by then you probably won't succeed.  Last minute  
applications don't work. If you know some students or professors, you  
should contact them today(not tomorrow.)
