Ralf Corsepius In Mentor Photo on GSoC Home Page

If you visit the top page for the Google Summer of Code 2011 and look closely you can find long-time RTEMS contributor Ralf Corsepius. I won't make you guess where he is. Just look on the right hand side of the photo on the top row. He is there in the corner two rows above the lovely person with the triangle pirate-hat.

This was a nice reminder of the pleasant and productive time with Ralf, Chris Johns, and I had there.
