I just had time to see the results today, congratulations on the 
approval into GSOC! Very exciting time as a student who enjoys 
programming in D. Although I may not be able to apply due to 
work, it's awesome that a group of students will be able to work 
full time on projects that directly benefit the D community.

Best of luck to mentors and students alike!
