GSoC 2011 update: we have 3 slots

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Digital Mars has received 3 slots for GSoC 2011. That means we need to 
choose three student projects to go with.

We have enjoyed many strong applications and we have a great lineup of 
mentors, but Google is reluctant to allocate a lot of slots to 
first-time participants because historically Google has experienced a 
high rate of burn-out with new organizations. Most new participants have 
only received 2 slots, so this is in fact a vote of confidence for our 
fledgling participation.

So we need to prove ourselves by choosing three outstanding projects and 
by taking them to completion. I warmly thank all participants (students 
and mentors) and I hope they all will stick around and help even though 
it is impossible to select them all for formal roles.


Thanks,

Andrei
