Seems like we didn't make it this year :(
Is there any feedback from Google when they don't accept an
organisation? Do you think that maybe they don't perceive D as
a viable option or just the projects could have been defined
better?
Google does not provide feedback to rejected organizations. Far
as I can imagine approval depends on a number of imponderables
such as the person who does the review etc.
GSoC 2018 was not a considerable part of our plans so we are
not affected negatively.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Seb who worked on
the application. It was stronger than in past years (including
those when we've been accepted).

I also want to thank Seb for the excellent work he did on this
year's application. It looked really solid, so I am a bit
disappointed it didn't get accepted, but I am sure D will carry
on without Google's money just fine. Being a big fan of
conspiracy theories I personally think it was blocked by the Go
folks :o)
