Thanks, Uli. Perhaps this is best presented as a blog post, from which we can publicize/tweet, etc. Do you --or any of the ComDev folks-- have Roller editing access for blogs.apache.org? Has anything been sent to annou...@apache.org in the past? If not, that's OK, I can help with getting the word out, but suggest you consider doing so for easy status updates, etc. Chat soon! -Sally [from the mobile; pls pardon spacing/spelling errors] -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Stärk Sent: 18/03/2012, 3:39 AM To: Sally Khudairi Cc: pr...@apache.org; dev@community.apache.org Subject: Re: Apache Software Foundation accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012
Hey Sally, A prompt note saying that we've been accepted and that this is a great opportunity for us with pointers to our ideas list and dev@community for further questions would be nice.
