+	<li>Lukasz Watka (a.k.a. lukaslw) will work on an engine (and translation to English) of the Polish game <b><i>The Prince and the Coward</i></b>.</li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>
+		Additionally, ScummVM is acting as an umbrella organisation during GSoC for our sister project ResidualVM. They will be mentoring three students:
+	</p>
+	<ul>
+	<li>Stefano Musumeci (a.k.a. subr3v) will be working on refactoring and optimizng the <b><i>TinyGL software renderer</i></b>.</li>
