I am still blown away by just how cool it was with all of the different open source projects represented at the summit. I'm very excited to see if we can do better next year. =:) Had an AWESOME time with you and Thiago, Seb!! =;) And I totally agree with your comments.

I'm a college student at Santa Clara, so maybe in a few months I'll start asking around and see if I'm qualified to participate. I think it would be so much fun to meet all the people who make my desktop and contribute to it. I’d really like to be part of this next year.

Ultimately it gives us KDE admin a choice in how to split up the student allocations instead of leaving the job to Google. If you want some more information about other summer of code projects, I recommend browsing through the official blog at http://googlesummerofcode.blogspot.com/ Figures range dramatically from project to project, so I can't quote any numbers.

Maybe you didn’t know, but KDE was the group with the largest student allocations, with 40 students" That's great! Is this including the KOffice project, too (I understand that there's been some dispute in the past as to whether this is part of KDE from GSoC's point of view ... ?). If not, that's very impressive indeed! Are there any figures on per-project completion and retention rates, and whether the code ended up being used at all? I remember some very promising GSoC mini-projects for other projects (not KDE) that were completed successfully but ended up not being incorporated into the project itself and being left to die :/ “This is especially true to KDE, because we hope to play an ever more important role in the program.
