OSGeo got into GSoC ’08
I just received an email from Google inviting me to take part in The Google Summer of Code(tm) 2008:
Earlier this year the Mapbuilder community came up with some GSoC ideas and by kind permission of the Openlayer community did a joined ideas list with OL. I volunteered to Mentor a few of those. The Openlayers/Mapbuilder/Mapfish ideas list is part of the umbrella entry of OSGeo.
This message means that we made it to the GSoC, apparently over 500 organisations/projects applied and only 175 made it. I’m happy we are one of those and I hope we get some enthusiast students who will extend OL/MB/MF in ways beyond our dreams, or at least more or less as the ideas describe.
