Hi folks, I asked LH about this and got some feedback for next year. Here is the transcript:
<penyaskito> lh: just wanted to know if there is any reason for my organization (argouml) has not been approved for this year SoC, of course beside of that I'm sure that you got a lot of great proposals ;) * penyaskito is not ranting, just want to improve our app for next year ;-) <lh> lots of great proposals, the ideas list was a little thin, especially for a returning org. <lh> this was one of those we talked about it and talked about it and felt awful about it and finally decided not to accept. <lh> penyaskito: there were a few folks that we really respect that had been with us before that we turned down this year, it was not an easy time of reviewing. <lh> best batch of apps i have ever seen, hands down. <penyaskito> lh: Thanks for the feedback. Is fine to quote you on our dev mailing list? <lh> penyaskito: yes please do so. <penyaskito> lh Thanks again :-) On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:36 PM, Linus Tolke <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all! > > I think the application was a little bit better this year than last years. > Each year small improvements have been made.
