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

[Stefan Wagener]

Thanks Michelle,

What a great opportunity for amateur radio folks to make a real difference
in young people and introduce them to our part of the hobby that involves
coding, SDR, etc. Thanks for doing this and making us aware of these
opportunities. That's right in line with "services that present an
opportunity for self-training, intercommunication, and technical
investigations a foundation of amateur radio" plus all the STEM that comes
with it. Very nice and since it is open, it is accessible.

As with all great ideas, you will unfortunately be confronted with personal
attacks and unfounded accusations. Glad you are sticking with it!

73, Stefan VE4SW
