"I had the unique experience the next day: placing sixteen bolts in a row. It was just blank and there was no way around. But it was a route worth bolting for, and after a time I began to take an almost perverse joy in it, or at least in doing a good job."

Application rejected

We just got news that the O|B|F’s application for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program has been rejected.

There were about 400 applying organizations, of which only 150 got accepted. Seems like it’s a pretty tough year to apply, Google is reducing the number of accepted organizations compared to last year by more than 20, and in addition they wanted to accept a few new ones, so a significant number of organizations who participated last year would have had to be rejected already.

Well, we can try again and harder next year and maybe we end up having better luck. Who knows?
