I was talking with Carol and the summary message is that we did okay but they just could not accept all organizations that apply. In more detail: there were a lot of OS organizations this year and apparently Google wants the spectrum of organizations (types) as wide as possible. So, not all OS organizations were accepted this year. Even Minix didn't make it. AFAIK only Illumos and RTEMS made it through. Another thing is that a lot of new organizations were accepted this year and quite a number of "veterans" weren't accepted because of that. Our application and ideas page was okay. Citing Carol, "i like that you have it broken down with required skills and possible mentors and all that". I also asked whether the fact that last year from 5 projects only 2 passed the final evaluation has any impact on our rejection this year. It looks that this does not influenced the decision. Which shall not be, after all, a surprise if GSoC should be about writing good code. Carol also said that we should apply next year. That is all, there wasn't much to ask once I learned that we weren't accepted simply because of the amount of orgs that applied. - Vojta > > "If you would like some general feedback on why your organization was not > accepted, please consider attending the IRC meeting in #gsoc on Freenode on > Friday, April 19, 2013 at 16:00 UTC." > > > M.D. > > ______________________________**_________________ > HelenOS-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/**listinfo/helenos-devel<http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/listinfo/helenos-devel> >
