This is a bummer, but I'm not heartbroken about it. It has given us a
change to arrange a set of goals for our project[1], and it's also
given me an understanding of how we can better prepare for GSoC next
year and recruit mentors more effectively.

GSoC mentorship would have put a considerable strain on our project
during a crucial period this summer while we are working towards
evolving NuPIC towards the vision of the community. Don't be
discouraged by this. Our project is still young, and I think next year
we'll be in a much stabler place to accommodate GSoC participation.

I will be in the IRC meeting noted below to get more details about the
rejection. If you're interested, feel free to join in as well.

Thank you for submitting Numenta, Inc.'s application to Google Summer
of Code 2014. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your
organization's application at this time. Every year we receive many
more applications than we are able to accommodate, and we would
encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.

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, 28 February, 2014 at 16:00 UTC. Please note that
the feedback meeting will be limited to the first 50 organizations to
queue up (queuing in the channel will begin at 15:30 UTC).

Best regards,
