+ <p>&os; is pleased to have been accepted as a participating
+ organization in Google's Summer of Code 2014. This will be the
+ tenth time we have participated in the program, having been
+ selected to participate every year since its introduction.</p>
+
+ <p>This year, the administrators made a special attempt to spread
+ the word about Summer of Code around Universities, including
+ making contact with around 350 mainly Polish, British, African
+ and American universities to advertise the Summer of Code
+ program, with a particular focus on &os;'s participation. We
+ made contact with both technical departments and student
+ societies. Posters were produced in several languages, and &os;
+ committers and users were encouraged to distribute these posters
+ around their local universities.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; received a total of 39 proposals from students, and were
+ subsequently granted 15 slots from Google. We are now facing
+ the unpleasant challenge of trying to decide which of the 39
+ proposals to select, taking into account the quality,
+ desirability and feasibility of each proposal, as well as
+ ensuring we will be able to provide an excellent mentoring
+ experience to each selected student. All mentors have
+ volunteered to mentor, and we pair students with mentors
+ primarily based on the prospective mentor's areas of expertise,
+ interest in the project, also taking into account the desire to
+ pair students up with mentors in similar timezones in order to
+ improve the student experience. The final list of accepted
+ students is expected to be announced on the 21st April.</p>
