Mentoring students for Ring through GNU

[Dorina Mosku]

To whom it may concern,

I'm writing on behalf of the Ring project [1], an official GNU package since 
October 2016 [2].

We applied to be a mentor organization in the GSoC 2017, but Ring's application 
was rejected. Thus, we are exploring the possibility of mentoring GSoC students 
this summer through other organizations, as we did last year with Debian. We 
mentored 4 students through the Debian organization in the GSoC 2016 and it 
worked very well for everyone. 

We saw that GNU is hosting many other packages for this edition of GSoC [3] and 
we think that it can be very interesting for Ring to be part of this list. Not 
only it would make it possible for us to have more contributions on Ring's code 
[4] this summer, but it could potentially help to grow Ring's contributors 
community.

So, would it be possible for us to mentor a certain number of students through 
the GNU organization?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Dorina Mosku.
