I try to give everyone the most information to work with, but even still we sometimes cannot accept every proposal. That's why I really encourage detailed proposals, patches, and lots of discussion as early and often as possible. The better we get to know applicants, the better their chances are of getting selected no matter the skill level. It is admittedly a lot of work. > I have been working on LibreCAD from past one year.

Not only did you bounce back from not getting selected, but you engaged the community head-on. That's great. I lament someone with your abilities not proposing our Qt interface project, but it sounds like you'll be a strong candidate for LibreCAD. > As for my project, I am interested in "SmartSnape" project.

If you've not done so already, please introduce and share these details -- your e-mail -- on their mailing list. It's linked in the Checklist. It'd good to hear about interests in STEPcode, LibreCAD, and OpenSCAD, but students should definitely be talking to their mentors on their mailing lists as well. Cheers!
