I have no objections to the idea, in fact I wholeheartedly support it, but I'm curious if we'll get to vote on the organization.<div><br></div><div>I'd personally like to see us vote on an organization that focuses in some way to open source on the JVM, since that's a core belief we all (or most of us) share. Some ideas are Apache or Eclipse. I'm open to other ideas as well.<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>

Anil<br>
