[amsat-bb] Google Summer of Code - mentorship application from Open Research Institute

[Michelle Thompson]

Open Research Institute is looking to apply as a mentor in the Google
Summer of Code program. I believe participation can greatly benefit the
amateur satellite service. Special thanks to Wally Ritchie for suggesting
this path, and to Bruce Perens and Ben Hilburn for their support and
approval.

Details about the program can be found here:

If approved, it would mean we would mentor student(s), at least once a
week, coordinating efforts to produce engineering in support of achieving
technical goals.

This is a significant time commitment, but we have plenty of really
interesting and meaningful options for students to work on.

In order to apply, we need volunteers that can commit to working with
students. As of today, we have four enthusiastic volunteers that cover a
wide variety of technical fields. We are looking for more. AMSAT-BB is full
of truly wonderful and qualified people.

The deadline is 5 February 2020. If you can help with this, let us know!
