Re: [Pharo-users] Fwd: [Pharo Consortium] Your organization application has been rejected.
Well, this year google it looks like accepted less organizations. 2012: 180 organizations accepted. 2013: 177 organizations accepted. 2014: 190 organizations accepted. 2015: 137 organizations accepted. A few projects with ESUG could be nice for sure.

Bad news. I am eager to hear if there is something to learn from their feedback.
Now that both ESUG and Pharo have been rejected two years in a row, maybe it is time to think about ways to revive, or re-promote, the ESUG initiatives to sponsor student projects.

Thank you for submitting Pharo Consortium's application to Google Summer of Code 2015. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your organization's application at this time. Every year we receive many more applications than we are able to accommodate, and we would encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.
If you would like some general feedback on why your organization was not accepted, please consider attending the IRC meeting in #gsoc on Freenode on Friday, 6 March, 2015 at 16:00 UTC. Please note that the feedback meeting will be limited to the first 50 organizations to queue up (queuing in the channel will begin at 15:30 UTC). You are also more than welcome to just email the OSPO team at ospoteam@gmail.com directly for email feedback about your application as well.

Excerpts from Clément Bera's message of 2015-03-03 10:01:21 +0100:

2012: 180 organizations accepted. 2013: 177 organizations accepted. 2014: 190 organizations accepted. 2015: 137 organizations accepted.
from the news announcement: "After reviewing 416 applications, we have chosen 137 open source projects, 37 of which are new to Google Summer of Code" assuming that every project from last year tried again, this means about half from last year didn't get re-accepted. more importantly, from those 416 applications probably half were new, so that means a lot of competition, and pharo just didn't make the cut.
A few projects with ESUG could be nice for sure. But there we will have in the same issues again: typically, a student cannot in 3 months make his project working for all existing smalltalk, ...
well, if it is ESUG sponsored it would not have to follow googles timeline there is also VALS Semester of Code, http://semesterofcode.com/ though this doesn't have many universities participating yet. perhaps some of the universities that support smalltalk already could be convinced to participate next term... -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
Well, we're not alone: Mozilla not accepted for Google Summer of Code 2015 http://blog.queze.net/post/2015/03/03/Mozilla-not-accepted-for-Google-Summer... Like Stef said, we just continue.
