Hello ComDev-ers --per below, we've had a query on GSoC. I responded to Jack in coordination with Maxim Solodovnik, who is this year's GSoC lead.
Please let me know if there's a dedicated mailing list or additional emails that I should be sharing this with.

Unfortunately, we did not receive the anticipated response from the RocketMQ and IoTDB mentors before the deadline, and so the opportunity to participate wasn’t possible this year. This was an unfortunate situation. As contributors to Apache projects are all volunteers, at times individuals are not able to follow through on some activities as anticipated. We are aiming to improve our communication processes regarding GSoC, and appreciate your patience. We also hope that you will be able to apply for future editions of GSoC with the ASF. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
