So this all makes me wonder why some social aggregation group (aka stack overflow or reddit/programming) or even just a big group of decentralized nerds couldn't just do a variant of GSoC on our own.
Lining up mentors and mentees particularly w/o big biz or school backing is kinda what open source is all about. I guess what I'm saying is "could we do this on our own"? Maybe not having Google behind the effort takes some of the air out of it... but maybe not? -j On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 1:35 PM, erik quanstrom <quans...@quanstro.net>wrote: > On Sun Mar 18 16:32:12 EDT 2012, rminn...@gmail.com wrote: > > coreboot got rejected too and we had 5 years in a row.
