Well, I disagree :)

Not because I want to favor Org proposals (no no), but because I think
the list of amazing proposals should only be made on critierium related
to the proposals themselves (the importance/quality of the project wrt
GNU project and the quality of the student.)

Otherwise this gives the strong (and wrong) signal to students: "pick up
a GNU project that has no proposal at all and you will have more chance
to get paid for coding during the summer."

I disagree.  This is not about distributing slots equally, this is 
about being fair, and not favoring a proposal that is of less value
than another proposal.

Anyway, let's discuss this IRC.

Best,
