But then again, that was in the days of Eric, stories on the net speak of a different Google of today. On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 9:33 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
I thought that GSoC was open to everyone, as long as you take part in an approved project. You apply to a mentoring organization and if accepted, that is it! This talk of "well connected party people" is a new one, and bad at that.
