Several weeks ago, I received an email from Google informing me that the application period for the 2022 Summer of Code was approaching. I made a mental note, then went back to whatever I was in the middle of at the time without making any other kind of note. Then I completely forgot about it.

The end result is that I missed the deadline for mentor organization applications. We won't be participating in GSoC this year.

I apologize to everyone for dropping the ball on this, especially those of you who were looking forward to getting into it this year.

I've already put a couple of reminders on my Calendar to prevent this from happening again next year.

Don't worry about it, it's only human to forget things. It's impossible to remember everything, if you're already booked up with a lot of other stuff that has to be done.
