(500 character limit)''' After participating in our first GCI experience last year, where students completed 649 tasks, OSGeo believes that it is important to introduce the future young leaders to our vibrant community, where over 42 different projects live in regards to Open Source mapping (geospatial).  We think this will be a fun experience for both the mentors and the students, with tasks that are both fun and beneficial.   We have been a Summer of Code mentor organization since 2007, so we know the importance of introducing students to our projects.  We say: sure let's do it again!
