Salve.
Forse non e' chiaro a tutti, ma a causa delle leggi americane, i cittadini di Cuba,
Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea e Myanmar non possono partecipare al Google Summer of
Code. Non so se questo e' ancora valido anche per OSGeo, i cui server non erano
accessibili dagli stessi paesi.
Su queste discriminazioni ovviamente non sono d'accordo, e nel caso di OSGeo  credo
che una parolina dovremmo dirla.
Saluti.

Hi there,

No. You'll see the Mentor Organization agreement [1] (also used as the Mentor
agreement) is quite clear that you cannot be a resident of Iran.

    Hi GSoC admins.

    I thought I'd post this question to the mentors list, on the off chance
    the answer was ever useful to someone else.

    As a US based 501c3 NPO, The Honeynet Project has a potential project
    idea were code was initially developed by Iranian and German members.
    The project to extend their existing work would be mentored by a German
    national in GSoC 2013, but the original Iranian developers would also
    like to provide technical support and unofficial backup mentoring
    support to an accepted student (as an Org we try to have multiple backup
    mentors for each project we select, in additional to the required
    official primary mentor).

    For GSoC 2013, Google are clear in the FAQs that:

    Iranian students cannot participate in GSoC

http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page#4._Who_is_not_eligible_to_participate_as

    Iranian based organizations cannot participate in GSoC

http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page#5._What_are_the_eligibility_requirements

    however, for mentors, the FAQs only say that Org representatives and
    mentors need to be 18+ years old this year:

http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page#6._What_are_the_eligibility_requirements

    Can you please confirm that there is no nationality based limit for:

    1) Mentors (based on the unpaid individual's own nationality, not the Org)

    2) Unofficial secondary mentors internal to an Org

    Will should be able to offer this particularly project this year, since
    we should have a German primary mentor, but thought I should clarify the
    situation on unpaid Iranian mentor involvement before student
    applications open, just in case.

    Thanks,

    David
