Hi folks. First of all, let me apologize for being quite offline the last weeks and for not helping too much. I had some personal stuff to do ;)<br>Fortunately, Janko could take care of it and keep it rolling. Thanks a lot Janko.<br>

Congratulations to the accepted students! Be aware that the most "non enjoyable" part of the process has already finished so now it's time to code, hack and have fun! You are the envy of a lot of people, you are being paid to program in something that you really like and enjoy. This is an excellent opportunity so take advantage of it and don't miss it. Please, work hard and deliver something, but never forget to have fun, learn and enjoy. <br>
<br>For all the students which were not accepted, don't worry. If your
project and proposal is good you will find another opportunity sooner
than you expect. For us, this was an
excellent opportunity to gather information about really interesting
projects and, what's more, to know lots of great students with a
passion for Smalltalk. With no doubt, we will keep in touch with all of
you and we will eagerly wait your application for next years. <br>
<br>Thanks again to all of you for helping us to make the Smalltalk community bigger and better. <br><br>So stay tuned with us!<br><br>
