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

[Wade Brainerd]

I would ask around in #gsoc on FreeNode to see if anyone has heard of
similar hard limits.

According to LH's post to the soc mailing list 2 days ago, GSoC will
support a smaller number of organizations this year, so OLPC and SL
may be lucky to be accepted.

Cheers,
Wade
