Squeak's Summer of Code applications: 25 students, 34 submissions

Hi all,

Applications for the Google Summer of Code 2007 are now closed.

Squeak received a total of 34 valid submissions from 25 students, much
more than what I expected, this being our first Summer of Code and all.

All the applications seem interesting, and in the coming days we mentors
will review and evaluate them. On April 11th Google will then publish
the name of the accepted students. Unfortunately, the number of accepted
students will be less than 25.

While we wait for April 11th to know the names of the lucky winners, I'd
like to thank all the students who decided to apply for a Squeak project
and all the mentors who volunteered for this task and who helped many
students with their applications. Thanks, all!

Ciao,

Giovanni

Thank you Giovanni for putting so much effort into this. This does look
like an excellent start to our first year participating in Google SOC.

My main points for the ranking is that I hope that persons already
evolved in the community (ie Damien doing his extremely cool
distribution) and mathieu which worked with marcus on the new
compiler will be able to continue their great job (and that we as a
community can reward them and capitalize on their knowledge) instead of
getting paid to develop in C#.

By the way we will have up to five Summertalk projects that ESUG will
certainly take from the SOC projects that were not
accepted. Of course Summertalk is giving less money but this is
better than nothing.
