One thing I think is that very few students from East Africa are actually active enough in open source development to engage in GSoC.
Personally, I know exactly 2 - including myself! (And both of us were 'students' a long long time ago. And I've not done alot of recent open source work) Anyone know any *students* who've contributed to any open source projects? P.
