The non-profit organization sounds really cool! <div>Keep us posted so we can blog about that! </div><div>Cheers<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 7:35 PM, Anil Saldhana <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com" target="_blank">Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

each mentor is entitled to $500 for the work as part of GSOC12.<br>
Typically organizations just donate the overall mentor payment amount to<br>
a non-profit organization via Google. This avoids the overhead of<br>
billing Google for the payments and deal with the tax issues. Since<br>
mentors reside in different countries, it is not worthwhile to dispatch<br>
payments to mentors.<br>
<br>
We are going to choose a non-profit organization that supports Open<br>
Source Software. I will announce who it will be in due course of time.<br>
<br>
If you have objections and want to have that payment for yourself, then<br>
please email me. :)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Anil<br>
