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

[Mel Chua]

That depends on what OLPC's GSoC focus is - it may *not* be Sugar at 
all, in which case the organizational intern allocations should be (and 
they should be, anyway!) independent of each other.

Marcin, do you recall where you heard/saw that rule? Googling for things 
like "gsoc limit of 2 students" isn't getting me anywhere - I want to 
have a few moments to read through all the docs and historical paperwork 
before emailing Leslie (likely tomorrow, as there will be time to catch 
my breath then).

Is anybody here, aside from SJ, a former GSoC coordinator who can chime 
in / fill in details / help? I am *completely *swamped for the next 24 
hours wrapping up the "becoming a volunteer again" process.
