   GSOC results are in. Habari 0 (application declined). StatusNet 5.

     @andyc To be fair, no one put in a #GSOC application for #habari. I think there's a feeling that well-resourced projects get chosen.

     @michaeltwofish Yeah that must be how Plan 9 got in.

     @michaeltwofish Yeah but Habari did apply a couple of years ago so my main point (and yours) still holds.

     @joshix I didn't say it was my feeling. You know what they say about sarcasm ... it's an anagram of cram ass.

     @michaeltwofish I think GSOC favours 'high profile' projects. I am certain Habari had a list of meaningful mini-projects and mentors ready.

     @andyc i don't think that holds. there're plenty of accepted orgs i've never heard of. several are quite small. there're just so many slots.

     @joshix @anth Yeh, that's mostly my opinion. Still, when big orgs that don't need help get 15 slots, is promoting all open source the focus?

     @ringmaster i'm not sure i really believe there are open source projects that don't need help. Google can't promote everything at once.

     @ringmaster also, it's not really their job to do so. they do a good job of generating new open source contributors, which is the point.
