I made a mental note, then went back to whatever I was in the middle of at the time without making any other kind of note. Then I completely forgot about it. The end result is that I missed the deadline for mentor organization applications. We won't be participating in GSoC this year. I apologize to everyone for dropping the ball on this, especially those of you who were looking forward to getting into it this year. I've already put a couple of reminders on my Calendar to prevent this from happening again next year. Years ago I was the GSoC admin and I filled in all the forms and had everything set to go. At the submission deadline I was up rather late completing the last set of forms. I failed to notice one button on the final form of the submission that I had to click to complete the submission, and I thought everything was done. I only found out the next day that the the application hadn't been submitted. Better luck next year.

Well.. There's 'fixing it' and there's 'improving it'. They are not the same thing. In my opinion, gitlab is not an improvement. I agree ;-) I just wanted to point out, that using 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' is not a useful rebuttal to suggestions for 'improvement'. A lot of things wouldn't have to be added to D if D followed that philosophy for everything.
