Hallo!
I wish I had known about GSOC before I graduated in June. Maybe if/when I find/apply to a good computer music masters somewhere/sometime I'll be able to take part. Not to mention I would really like to have a version of PDVST that worked with Ableton...
Well, if you have no master yet you should apply ! (I don't think that they check if you are currently subscribed to a University - at least I just registered and I only had to say where I study ...)
Then you could make the PluggoPD project ;) !
