Dear Tomek-san, Thank you so much for the kind message and all your support. I'm sorry I couldn't pass the final selection this time—I feel I still have much to learn and improve. Still, making OSS contributions a core part of my career is my long-term goal. I definitely want to stay involved and keep contributing to the OSS community!
Thanks again for everything :-) Best regards, Satoru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Satoru Akita mail: [email protected] tel: 07041572275 2026年5月8日(金) 4:42 Tomek CEDRO <[email protected]>: > Dear Satoru, > > We were really sorry to see you did not get into the GSoC 2026 > although very good scoring on our side.
