Re: [IMPORTANT] GSOC 2014 ideas

[Ivan Vučica]

Odd. Jose Marchesi has replied to me saying that the mail was received.

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/summer-of-code/2014-02/msg00042.html

Unfortunately, students application deadline was March 21st so having not received applications so far, we almost certainly won't receive any this year.

Hi Ivan,

looks like your mail never made it to the GNU GSoC project. At least
GNUstep doesn't show up on there list of possible projects. Today I
applied to become a mentor anyway, so if a student has shows up we have
somebody to look after him or her.
