Hi,

NumFOCUS has promotes and supports the ongoing research and development of
open-source computing tools including NumPy.

This year NumFOCUS want to try be a Google Summer of Code
"umbrella" mentoring organization,

    Umbrella organizations are mentoring organizations accepted into the Google
    Summer of Code program that have other open source organizations working
    "under" them. Sometime organizations that work very closely or have very
    similar goals or communities may get put together under an "umbrella."
    Google stills expects all organizations under the umbrella, whether accepted
    into the program under their title or not, to adhere to all the rules and
    regulations of the program.

    From https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page#umbrella_organization

To help promote and support NumPy.

We encourage NumPy to apply to Google Summer of Code under your own title
and will be very happy if you can also do with us.
