You have -- we should be making a more official announcement shortly, but since you already have a project idea I would suggest you go ahead and pursue it. If it's anything like last year the application process is highly competitive -- the best applications really went above and beyond. I think some of those might be on the web somewhere. Thanks for the encouragement! I read over the report on last year's edition of SoC and indeed it looked very competitive. I did not see any of the proposals themselves, but if they are online, I will definitely have to take a look,
There project has not been pursued yet, so it would likely be a good choice for this year. Our biggest problem might be finding a mentor, but we'll work something out. I will keep my options open in case this topic does not work out; however, I'm sure I'd be able to also draw from the knowledge of the group at school as well as from a mentor on your end, which certainly can't hurt.
