I pasted the rejection email down below. The big problem was that
the news about SOC2006 was made public on Easter Saturday... if
I remember correctly. I could not anwer before the easter monday,
and then they had already far too many requests.

I was a bit disappointed, as it is kind of  a "social filter" to require
people to do everthing on the one weekend where you are normally
try to spend time with the family... (at least in those parts of the  
world
that have some form of holiday there).

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for your interest in Summer of Code.  Unfortunately, we cannot
offer you admission to the program at this time, as we are unable to
take on new organizations.  Best of luck to you with your projects and
all your future endeavors.

Kind regards,
LH
