[Clam-devel] Re: [CLAM] waiting for foogle's decision...

[Xavier Amatriain]

Well, an hour ago Google announced that students can now login and now 
if they were accepted.
We were granted 6 GSoC's, which is a huge success!! Thanks to all of 
those who applied and we
hope you  stick with us even if you weren't accepted.

We will probably make the list of the accepted students public in the 
coming hours but for now
let's keep it in suspense and have all applicants know their fate by 
login into Google's web app.
Again, as Pau said, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the 
applications and it was really,
really hard to rank them.
