Hi everyone.
I'm disappointed to announce that our application to be a mentoring organization for GSoC-2015 has been rejected. Google has accepted 137 organizations [1] this year (down from 190 last year) and couldn't find place to accommodate us.
The main reason behind the rejection was the presentation of our ideas list [2]. Though we had a good number of ideas, Google expected them to be more fleshed out and followed guidelines given at [3]. This some thing we must do and doing this will help new contributors.
This was our communities first ever attempt, so we were bound to have some missteps. We'll prepare better for the next time and try again.
In the meantime, anyone who was hoping to contribute via GSoC, but would still like to contribute to the community anyway, take a look at our ideas list [2]. If you'd like to work on something, get in touch with the listed mentor or with development mailing list.
I want to thank the community members who volunteered to be mentors, and who came up with the ideas. I want to thank Spot, for helping me get our application submitted in a rush.
Thanks everyone. Let's try again next year.
