Folks:
	Unfortunately, Plan 9 was not selected to participate in
this year's Summer of Code. There is an upcoming "rejected
orgs" meeting where folks will have the chance to hear
(very briefly) why and what can be improved, and I'll try to
make that and report back (it hasn't been scheduled yet).

	Thanks to everyone who submitted ideas, volunteered
to mentor or help find students, or worked on the wiki. I'd
submit that the sorts of work we do to prepare for GSoC is
worth doing anyway - making it easier for newcomers to
use and contribute to the system. Keep it up!

	If you're an eligible student, I'd still encourage you to
check out the list of accepted organizations[0]. There are
180 organizations participating this year, so you've got a
good shot at finding something else interesting going on.

	And, of course, just because we're not in GSoC this
summer doesn't mean we aren't interested in getting new
contributors! Take a look at the materials we put together
for GSoC[1], get in touch, and help out.

	Thanks again,
Anthony
