7. How does the program work?

Here are the steps:
 * Open source projects who'd like to participate in Google Summer of Code in 2014 should choose at least two organization administrators to represent them.
 * Organization administrators will submit the mentoring organization’s proposal for participation online.
 * Google will notify the organization administrators of acceptance, and an account for the accepted organizations will be created on the Google Summer of Code 2014 site.
 * Students submit project proposals online to work with particular mentoring organizations.
 * Mentoring organizations rank student proposals and perform any other due diligence on their potential students; student proposals are matched with a mentor.
 * Google allocates a particular number of student slots to each organization.
 * Mentoring organizations make their final decision on which students to accept into the program.
 * Students are notified of acceptance.
 * Students begin learning more about their mentoring organization and its community before coding work starts.
 * Students begin coding work at the official start of the program, provided they've interacted well with their community up until the program start date.
 * Mentors and students provide mid-term progress evaluations.
 * Mentors provide a final evaluation of student progress at close of program; students submit a final review of their mentor and the program.
 * Students upload completed code to Google Summer of Code site.
