[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2009 is a go!

[Ed McNierney]

Yes, but in 2007 "they" were "us", no?

Thanks, this is helpful information (I didn't know the status of  
OLPC's previous GSoC work).  I don't see why there is any reason to  
presume that OLPC would NOT be interested in 2009 GSoC, but I don't  
know of any active ideas/proposals kicking around here.  I would  
strongly encourage Sugar Labs ideas, however - to Ben's point, there  
should be no confusion.  The only things I could imagine (and it's  
just imagining) coming from OLPC would be ancillary ideas (school  
server add-ons?) that would be quite distinct from XO/Sugar software.   
Go for it!

	- Ed
