Well, with some help from Chip Mefford I've managed to fix the problem with the SOC mailing list, at least for now. So while it's working again I believe I will take this opportunity to congratulate the students who were granted slots by Google.

You guys put forth the effort to write up good applications and communicate your willingness to work. Well now you won the right to work, go to it! Details of the accepted applications can be found at
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/squeak/about.html
For those students who were not accepted, do not give up. ESUG is hosting a similar projects called SummerTalk where you have another opportunity to apply for sponsorship for developing Squeak related software. Hopefully an ESUG member will follow up this message with more details.
You students who were accepted: You have a little break before the official work period starts, but I strongly suggest you avail yourselves of this time to get up to speed, particularly if you are new to Squeak and Smalltalk. Make liberal use of this mailingglist as well as the other mailing lists such as squeak-dev, beginners, and any lists specific to your project area. Also feel free to come by #squeak or #croquet on irc.freenode.net and chat with mentors or others who can help you get past rough spots. We also have a blog where students can share their progress with others, details on that soon.
Congratulations!
Ken

I'm that ESUG member :)
I will set up a new page (following: http://www.esug.org/promotionactions/summertalk2007/)
ESUG will sponsor 5 or 6 projects. You will get 2500 Euros.
Now I would like you to send to me your projects. The board will then vote. Now what is really important is that you get a mentor (which should be comitted to mentor you).
