Hi Jose,

No projects proposals for GNU Classpath this year.

Cheers,
Mario

Hi hackers.

We have to report to Google how many slots we want for the GNU org.  For
that purpose we need the following per-GNU project information to be
sent to this mailing list before April 6 Sunday 23:00 CEST:

- Number of "essential" slots for your project.  This corresponds to the
  number of "amazing" ideas submitted to your project, for which you can
  provide a mentor.

- Number of "desired" slots for your project.  This usually corresponds
  to the number of ideas submitted to your project for which you can
  provide a mentor.

For example, in recutils we have only one idea, so we will be asking for
1 essential slot and 1 desired slot.  Lets suppose that GNU Foo has
three ideas and can provide mentors for two of them.  GNU Foo would
probably ask for 1 essential slots and 2 desired slots.

Note that the final count of slots are granted to the org, not to
individual GNU projects.  As in previous years, we will be distributing
the slots using the following schema:

- If we get all the desired slots then everyone gets their desired
  proposals covered.  Perfect.  This happened in 2012 and 2013.

- If we get less slots, but they are still enough for covering the
  "essential" slots, then everyone get their amazing proposals covered.

- If we get less slots than the total number of "essential" slots we
  asked for, then we will distribute them in a way that every project
  participating under the GNU umbrella gets at least one slot.

- Otherwise (very unlikely) not every project will be able to
  participate.

Please report the essential/desired counts ASAP.
Thanks!
