SoC Project List Announced

The final list of funded SoC projects has been announced by Google. I'm pleased to say we finally got 10 slots, which went to 1 extension, 1 Camino, 1 SeaMonkey, 2 Thunderbird and 5 Firefox projects. We had a large number of excellent applications (along with some not-so-good ones) and are actively looking at alternate means of funding some of those that didn't make the cut.

Some comedy application titles from those which just missed out:

  • features
  • need assistance?
  • My Project
  • <name> Letter of Intention and Personal information
  • I want to join you
  • General Programmer
  • Confidence,Capacity and ambition

And last but definitely not least, in any way (given that it was submitted twice):

  • ALGORITHM TO FIND AND VALIDATE THE ORTHOLOGUS AND PARALOGOUS SEQUENCE FOR PHYLOGENTIC ANALYSIS

You mean Firefox doesn't support phylogentic analysis yet? Opera has had this feature for years!

Some good projects there, though - best of luck to the students involved.
