Hi all I'd like to echo Tom and Linus comments about the students we lost this year. We requested a certain allocation of students from Google but Google restricted those numbers below our requested limited. This is a very popular program and unfortunately even Google have some limit to their funding.
For those of you having joined the program this year perhaps you could introduce yourselves here on the dev list with a short summary of the work you intend to do. There will be those watching the list who will not have access to your proposals and may well be curious. We'd like to encourage you to communicate and seek help and assistance using the dev list. Open source development is a community process and it's important for the community to be able to give their own input and guidance to your work as well as your mentor. Welcome on board and good luck with all your projects.
