Several weeks ago, I received an email from Google informing me
that the application period for the 2022 Summer of Code was
approaching. I made a mental note, then went back to whatever I
was in the middle of at the time without making any other kind
of note. Then I completely forgot about it.
The end result is that I missed the deadline for mentor
organization applications. We won't be participating in GSoC
this year.
I apologize to everyone for dropping the ball on this,
especially those of you who were looking forward to getting
into it this year.
I've already put a couple of reminders on my Calendar to
prevent this from happening again next year.
Years ago I was the GSoC admin and I filled in all the forms and
had everything set to go. At the submission deadline I was up
rather late completing the last set of forms. I failed to notice
one button on the final form of the submission that I had to
click to complete the submission, and I thought everything was
done. I only found out the next day that the the application
hadn't been submitted.
Better luck next year.
