Google Summer of Code -- applications done!
The Google Summer of Code application deadline has passed as of about 30 minutes ago, so all applications should be in. As they say in America (and maybe elsewhere) -- pencils down!
We have received a total of 68 applications. I'm impressed -- I really didn't expect that many.
Now we will start the process of reviewing applications. I know that acceptance letters won't be sent until Google has finalized all of our decisions and we've worked out any duplicates (students accepted to multiple organizations).
The next step for you: relax! There's not much else you can do at this stage to improve your odds of being accepted. We're going to be looking at all of the proposals next, and you will hear back one way or the other by April 26th, 2010.
One thing you may start thinking about, however, is what to do if you do not get accepted. Dreamwidth is a busy project with many, many things that need doing. If you aren't one of the few students we can choose, we would still love to have your help this summer! We can offer you the same mentoring support that we offer all of our contributors, and you will get all the same learning, experience, and satisfaction from contributing that you would get as an official student. The only difference is that Google does not subsidize your time.
Please consider this over the next few weeks, and if there's any questions we can answer or information we can provide, don't hesitate to comment here or email us.
Thank you all for your interest and applications, and we look forward to working with you this summer!
