Re: [reSIProcate] reSIProcate in Google Summer of Code / GSoC 2015?
Monday night, Google announced the organizations selected to participate
in GSoC 2015. Unfortunately, reSIProcate's application was not selected.
It looks like Google has selected about 50 organizations less than 2014
and they do have a tendency to rotate smaller organizations from year to
year so this doesn't mean we shouldn't apply again in future.
Thanks again to all those who have indicated interest in this.
Many of the other organizations that are participating, particularly the
bigger ones, are always looking for additional mentors, co-mentors and
students so anybody who is interested for 2015 may want to have a look at the
list of 137 organizations that are participating:

Personally, I'm likely to mentor at least one student under Debian for a
project with some relation to real-time communications and SIP, if anybody
wants further details please feel free to contact me directly.
