Aside from competitiveness a Ubuntu Community Member cannot complete the
application instead someone at Canonical will need to do it as it enters
the project into a legal agreement. Luke Faraone and I did the last GSOC
and the legal agreements are roughly the same and when we did GSOC we had
Amanda Brock (Canonical General Counsel sign off on it).
I'm not sure if all that can be done by Wednesday or whether Canonical
would be comfortable with a non-employee entering Canonical into a legal
agreement with Google.
There was a gsoc mailing list where previous discussions took place and
planning.... It might be good to clean some learnings from that list on
what we went through to get even a signoff from Canonical to put in the
application.

Also I would chat with Daniel Holbach as he helped liason between me and
Luke and Canonical's legal team and has helped out with a few of these now
IIRC.
