Is there room for an Orbot developer under Tor's GSoC?
I know that I was completely awol during this process, and not a mentor, but this is a worthwhile effort!

Hello,
I talked in #tor-dev and asked about a feature I could implement for Orbot as part of Google summer of code 2013 and abel suggested the implementation of the android 4.x's VPN Service as a way to get rootless transparent torification. I understand this was created https://github.com/guardianproject/OrbotVPN but for some reason couldn't be finished? Is it plausible to implement it? If not maybe there is something else I could make?
Some words about me: I'm a CS student at my 5th year. I finished with my courses a year ago and I'm just enrolled because I'm an intern at CERN and have to be a student. My github is here: https://github.com/uberspot/ I have worked previously on two android apps (OpenWifiStatistics that coorelates gps with wifi scan data and AnagramSolver for solving anagrams) and I have another one almost complete (a lan multiplayer trivia game).
Kindly awaiting your responce, Paul

Hi Nathan. Are you offering to mentor this? If so then you're welcome to apply to be a mentor in melange and review Orbot related applications.

Or said another way, if you have a good student and you have a suitable mentor (you or somebody else), then you are totally welcome to be a part of the Tor gsoc umbrella.
But as Damian says, if you show up with a worthwhile project, a student, and no mentor in mind, this will not end well. :)

I understand. Good to know the window is still open. I will work with the student some more to assess their viability. Abel on my team could be an excellent mentor, with me as a backup, so long as he is planning to be within range of radio comms this summer.
