Well, that's that. No GSOC for FVWM this year. Better luck next time. :) Mikhael kindly spoke to me over IRC at the 25th hour to get me to define what a backup mentor meant. But by then we'd run out of time. I, like Mikhael both agreed that perhaps we as a project weren't ready for GSOC. We just don't have the infrastructure to suppport it, and more to the point at the moment, the people around to devote the time it needs. But as a lesson in organisation this was still very useful, and assuming I am still around next year (you can't tend to get rid of me too easily :P) I would love to apply to GSOC, this time with more warning before the deadline. Viktor -- don't let this discourage you at all from working on some or all of things we have already discussed. I will at some point this weekend be collating most of this information together so it's not lost. -- Thomas Adam
