Behdad, is there any provision for students from the Southern  
Hemisphere? This opportunity doesn't arrive in their holidays, but in  
the busiest part of the educational year.

My son is doing a computing degree, and I know he's interested, but  
he just doesn't have the time in the middle of the year.

I wrote to Google about this last year, but got no response.

I'm wondering if an organization like Gnome could represent the  
interests of Southern Hemisphere participants in this.

Do you think that would be a useful way to approach the situation?
