Right.

So you have both kernel.org and the Linux Foundation participating
to Gsoc 2011. However, kernel specific projects are mentored by
the Linux Foundation. kernel.org projects are specific to kernel.org
infrastructure, as precised here:

https://korg.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gsoc2011:ideas

I asked Till Kamppeter, who handled the Linux Foundation as a mentoring
organization last year, in order to know if he still handles it this
year and how you can apply as a mentor.

I'm quoting his answer:

"I am organizing GSoC for the LF again. Simply apply as mentor on
www.google-melange.com with the Linux Foundation as org. Tell that you
are mentoring for kernel or kernelnewbies and I will approve your
request.

  Till"

You also have this page for some more details:

Good luck!
