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

[Tom Schaefer]

Wow! The AMSAT ambassador program clearly needs a course in people skills.  Who manages that program? I love supporting AMSAT ( I’m a life member) but that can’t stand. To turn a phrase, I would think an AMSAT Ambassador would know better. 

Keep at it Michelle. That’s a great idea.
