I should add: it does seem that you can still fill in the "other
organization" field, rather than choosing one of the ones on the list,
if you can make a case for needing to have that organization be your
mentoring organization.  But this is where I want to be cautious.  I
don't want the process of determining whether Google accepts Ruby
Central to cause a possibly fatal delay in an application.  If we can
pre-agree with Google that it's OK, I'll let you know.  (And then we'd
also need mentors....)  I have not heard back from them yet.
