Hello DSpace Community, (Please excuse the cross posting)
Google has made its announcement and the results are public. http://code.google.com/soc/2008/dspace/about.html I would like to congratulate all the students that were accepted, say thank you to everyone that applied. All the applications were all very interesting this year. We had some serious decision making to do, it came right down to the wire and as the last votes came in this morning, the ranking changed yet again. I would like to thank Xiaofei Dou and Adam Mikeal for what were excellent and well ranked applications that did get mentoring interest, but unfortunately we only received four slots this year and those could not be accepted. To everyone else who applied thank you and we wish you the best in your education and careers. Note: while we have listed individuals as mentors on these applications, it really takes "a village" to make these projects work and mentorship may change when we sit down and discuss who and how many will be participating. We will more officially announce mentors and backup mentors in the near future. We most certainly need and welcome the communities input on these projects. To all those interested, I would like to recommend that you join the various dspace listservs (http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ DspaceResources#Mailing_Lists) and join us at irc:// irc.freenode.net#dspace when you have a moment to vist with everyone online! I'm looking forward to the great discussions and creative energy that the DSpace community will benefit from in this coming year thanks to these Google Summer of Code projects.
