Robert,

You made an excellent catch. This morning, before coffee, I 
multiplied US$6000 by 8 in my head and somehow came up with $54,000, 
rather than $48,000 which is the correct amount. I should have used 
Calc, I knew it then but I was in a rush. I'll correct the value next 
GSoC reminder email.

To break that down as requested, last year $5,500 went to each 
student, and $500 to each mentor, making $6000 per slot awarded, and 
we received eight slots in 2014.

Apologies to everyone for the bad mental arithmetic.

Niall
