Our GSoC project has been accepted - yahoo! :)
Monday, April 21st, 2008This is pretty exciting. I have never bothered about Google’s Summer of Code and have literally been forced (curse you, Kumar) to propose my project I’m working on.
And in the end I have a promising student and Google accepted our proposal. Watching #gsoc while everybody was waiting whether they got accepted caused more traffic than #freenode-newyears. Looking forward to days and nights of my spare time vanish for a fancy T-shirt.
Nah, seriously. A lot of people have asked for an easy-to-handle web-enabled package repository. It will surely be very helpful as a clean and featureful basis for mentors.debian.net as well as the replacement for PPAs and REVU. And this will be my first large open-source Pylons project, too. I’m excited.
