Years ago I was the GSoC admin and I filled in all the forms and 
had everything set to go.  At the submission deadline I was up 
rather late completing the last set of forms.  I failed to notice 
one button on the final form of the submission that I had to 
click to complete the submission, and I thought everything was 
done. I only found out the next day that the the application 
hadn't been submitted.

Better luck next year.
