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.

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.
