Hi guys, unfortunately our GSOC application was not accepted. However, I have to say its a great process we went through for figuring out our message, highest priority tasks, and how we can move forward. The other application for Aiki Framework (http://aikiframework.org) was also not selected.
I will say that Google has helped promote projects well in the past, but I will not put energy into summer of code anymore. It is a great program but only supports legacy projects and not new and dynamic projects. The good news is that Google paid my company http://fabricatorz.com for some outstanding work. And, I will keep going with the plan to get sales and $$$ for our projects. Just to let you know, I'm like Bruce Lee on this type of thing...We are water, just flow around this, and it makes us stronger. Unrestricted real money is more valuable than programs. With $5000 USD I can sustain a developer in many parts of the world for 5-7 months for full-time directed work. Cheers!

Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your organization's application at this time. We received many more applications for the program than we are able to accommodate, and we would encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.
