These were, indeed, justly accepted. But I have to take a minute to thank
the applicants who were not accepted. There were at least 5 or 6 unaccepted
applications which showed serious dedication, creativity, and practicality.
The competition to get into GSoC is always very tough, and this year was no
exception. I have reason to hope that a few of the better applicants are
still interested in contributing to Sugar Labs, and I hope to see them
participating through the year, and then winning slots next year. (And since
I'm pretty darn sure we can do a great job with the applicants who were
accepted, I hope that Google will reward us with more slots next year).

Thanks, all the applicants, and thank you to Google as well. This is a great
program from all sides, and it's humbling to be a part of it.

Jameson
