Fwd: [Pharo Consortium] Your organization application has been rejected.

Bad news from Google ...
We will ask some explanations with Uko.

Thank you for submitting Pharo Consortium's application to Google
Summer of Code 2015. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your
organization's application at this time. Every year we receive many
more applications than we are able to accommodate, and we would
encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.

If you would like some general feedback on why your organization was
not accepted, please consider attending the IRC meeting in #gsoc on
Freenode on Friday, 6 March, 2015 at 16:00 UTC. Please note that the
feedback meeting will be limited to the first 50 organizations to
queue up (queuing in the channel will begin at 15:30 UTC). You are
also more than welcome to just email the OSPO team at
[hidden email] directly for email feedback about your application
as well.

Best regards,

Well, this year google it looks like accepted less organizations.

2012: 180 organizations accepted.

2013: 177 organizations accepted.
2014: 190 organizations accepted.
2015: 137 organizations accepted.

A few projects with ESUG could be nice for sure. But there we will have in the same issues again: typically, a student cannot in 3 months make his project working for all existing smalltalk, ...

Bad news. I am eager to hear if there is something to learn from their feedback.

Now that both ESUG and Pharo have been rejected two years in a row, maybe it is time to think about ways to revive, or re-promote, the ESUG initiatives to sponsor student projects.

from the news announcement: "After reviewing 416 applications, we have chosen
137 open source projects, 37 of which are new to Google Summer of Code"

assuming that every project from last year tried again, this
means about half from last year didn't get re-accepted.

more importantly, from those 416 applications probably half were new, so that
means a lot of competition, and pharo just didn't make the cut.

well, if it is ESUG sponsored it would not have to follow googles timeline

there is also VALS Semester of Code, http://semesterofcode.com/ though this
doesn't have many universities participating yet. perhaps some of the
universities that support smalltalk already could be convinced to participate
next term...
