Hey Dan,
I'm in the process of filling out the forms so that FVWM can participate.
In doing so they want the ID of the backup mentor -- I recall you said
you're willing. Is that still the case?
Yes.
If so, would you mind registering yourself here?

I'll need your ID when you're done so I can shove it in the form and then
that will allow me to complete the particulars.
Am I the only one that can't figure out those Captchas?
I'll send it when I get it.

Hmm -- I've never had a problem with them in the past, although I
didn't need to register since I already had a google account.

I had one, but it has another purpose. Use this:

Apparently, you don't exist with that ID, according to Google, Dan. Any
ideas?

Kindly,

Doesn't seem to make a difference. Did you fill out the form here:

http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/profile/org_admin/google/gsoc2012

I'm told that the "Username" field from that is the value the form I'm
filling in wants to use, as opposed to just any other ordinary gmail
account identifier, annoyingly.

Got it now.

Not sure what I clicked but eventually it presented the page
where you sign up for GSOC.

Sorry.

That's OK. Also, under the main logo with flags for that page, you
should see a "logged in as ***@gmail.com [link_id: XXX]. (Not you?)".
Is that link_id value I'll need. :)

Thanks, Dan. I've submitted an application form, and in a week's time it
will be picked up by more official people at GSoC, and at some point
thereafter, we'll know if we've been accepted or not.
