I'm going to be lazy and not check whether everyone is on the dev list or not, so you might get this message twice. That said, it's that time of year again! I've completed our application for BRL-CAD so we should find out on the 18th whether BRL-CAD is accepted to participate this year in the Google Summer of Code.
Approximately the same number of organizations applied as last year but they are reportedly planning to reduce the program by about 10% this year. So possibly 110 orgs total or 20 fewer than last year, or the increase the org count and reduce the average number of slots to an org. Regardless, I'm anticipating actually accepting fewer slots this year so that the students can be worked with more closely, but it'll entirely depend on the type and number of applications. For example, it will depend on how many if any students from last year apply again. At least two have expressed interest in participating again and I'm supportive. Anyone interested in being a mentor can go to http:// socghop.appspot.com and log in and send me your link_id (Edit Profile). There will be a few changes from last year, but I'll only go into detail on that if we are accepted back as an organization. Cheers!
