What kind of would be involved in being a backup admin? I could perhaps put myself forward for this - hopefully of course you won't be hit by any buses, though. ;-)
Well, basically you need to take over for the org admin if needed and
- at the start of the program, accept known developers as mentors and reject people you don't know - during the program, make sure that all the mentors are still active and organize a backup mentor if a mentor disappears (not happened to me before) - at the mid-term, chase all the mentors to turn in their mid-term evaluations - at the end of the program, chase all the mentors to turn in their final evaluations.
That's pretty much it. If you admin or mentor, you can't participate in GSoC as a student.
If you're interested, log into melange (http://socghop.appspot.com/), create a link_id and tell me that link_id.
Cheers, Kai
