Congratulations. You are the most promising students among the 63 who
applied, so we chose you to participate in our Google Summer of Code
program. Please consult your mentor to discuss what you ought to do
during the community bonding period (now till May 21).
Students whom we did not accept: please don't despair. As you can see,
you had a lot of very strong competition, and we only had nine slots.
We encourage you to keep learning about open source, use our IRC
channels and mailing lists, and even work on your projects as
volunteers! Most of us got into this hobby without GSoC, and you can
too. :-)
