Having
21 slots
doesn't mean that we will take them blindly. We will continue
asking questions to mentors and students about the feasibility of each
proposal and we will consider accepted only those that have all the
foundations in place.
Last but not least: remember the important point about confidentiality.
Now several projects might look pretty obvious candidates but this
doesn't
authorize anybody to leak / pre-announce our
decisions made. Google is
still the one that must announce all accepted GSoC projects first.
PS: and now, if you don't mind, I'll go get some sophisticated
alcohol-free drink to celebrate. Salut!
