Hi, To update the list, we were not selected this year. I got feedback from Google which was very positive and encouraged us to apply again next year. They only accepted 137 organizations this year (down from a high of 190 last year). We had some great ideas, and we will continue to work on links with other open source chemistry projects to put together an even stronger proposal next year.
Thanks for everyone's interest, disappointed we didn't make it this year but encouraged to try again next year. Working on some patches and hopefully a release soon...more threads on that soon.
