They only give feedback in the #gsoc room the day of the rejection. Or at least that's how it worked last year. That's all I got.

Be sure to thank Georg too, he was a major force in putting this thing together, in case I forgot to mention that. And really, thanks everyone for contributing, it was nice to see so many people contribute.

ahh, too bad.. this is obviously a template rejection notice, do they usually follow up this initial rejection with which criteria the organisation missed and which parts of the application need to be better addressed?

it may just be the luck of the draw, but we are losing out to projects like scummvm - a virtual machine for playing video games from 1987! not that i have a problem with maniac mansion as such, but somethings gotta give!

anyhow, good work to those responsible for putting the application together, i am sure with a bit of feedback and a little work, we will be a contender for next year.

cheers, dmotd

Hi Hans-Christoph Steiner,

Thank you for submitting "Pure Data (aka Pd)" organization application to Google Summer of Code 2009. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your organization's application at this time. We received many more applications for the program than we are able to accommodate, and we would encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.

Best regards, Google Open Source Programs
