[SciPy-Dev] SciPy GSoC'15 participation?

[Eric Larson]

I say let's go for it. We can always apply to be a sub-org, and if no
project/student combination seems is suitable given the mentor
volunteer(s), I don't think there is any problem with not accepting any.
The fftpack project sounds reasonable. I can at least be a secondary
member, possibly a primary depending on my time this spring and summer.

I can also be the SciPy sub-org admin, since I'm usually one for another
sub-org anyway.
