Hello DSpace Developers, In the essence of openness, I wanted to let you all know that, unfortunately, DuraSpace was rejected from Google Summer of Code 2012.
At this time, it's unclear why our application was rejected. DSpace has had an amazing run of GSoC acceptance for five years straight (2007-09 as DSpace Federation and 2010-11 as DuraSpace). It's just sad to see it end. Obviously, this is disappointing to us all. DuraSpace is hoping that Google will provide us with more feedback as to why our application was rejected. At this point, all Google has sent us is the following general statement: "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." In semi-related news: A few of us in #dspace IRC have been bouncing around ideas as to whether we could still do some sort of informal DSpace/DuraSpace "summer coding project" even without GSoC. If we manage to organize such a thing, you all will be the first to know. - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace Project DuraSpace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
