Hi all,
Applications for the Google Summer of Code 2007 are now closed.
Squeak received a total of 34 valid submissions from 25 students, much more than what I expected, this being our first Summer of Code and all.
All the applications seem interesting, and in the coming days we mentors will review and evaluate them. On April 11th Google will then publish the name of the accepted students. Unfortunately, the number of accepted students will be less than 25.
While we wait for April 11th to know the names of the lucky winners, I'd like to thank all the students who decided to apply for a Squeak project and all the mentors who volunteered for this task and who helped many students with their applications. Thanks, all!
Ciao,
Giovanni
Thank you Giovanni for putting so much effort into this. This does look like an excellent start to our first year participating in Google SOC.

Thanks you for answer all our questions in the irc.
Good luck for all.

My contacts suggest that we might get 3 or perhaps 4 slots, based on previous years. Google apparently uses a formula based on a number of factors, which they don't disclose.

On the #summer-discuss IRC channel people developed many different theories on how the number is determined, including:
- the Google admin roll a d20 and add the Stamina modifier. - the actual formula involves the square root of -pi. - they put each application in a closed box with a cat, then the newest Google intern opens it; if the application is not torn to pieces, it is accepted. - the accepted applications are derived from a solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
Speaking seriously, I think the accepted/submitted ratio will be around 1/10 . Thus the 3/4 figure from Andrews's contacts.
Giovanni
That would be Schrödinger's cat, I presume?

My main points for the ranking is that I hope that persons already evolved in the community (ie Damien doing his extremely cool distribution) and mathieu which worked with marcus on the new compiler will be able to continue their great job (and that we as a community can reward them and capitalize on their knowledge) instead of getting paid to develop in C#.

By the way we will have up to five Summertalk projects that ESUG will certainly take from the SOC projects that were not accepted. Of course Summertalk is giving less money but this is better than nothing.

Hi guys
How do we evaluate students? Especially the ones we do not know?
Stef
It depends on their application I guess.
