The OSGeo originally had only 9 slots for the 30 student applications, including the two from OpenJUMP. (One by Chris for TIN support, and one by Leandro for visual geoprocessing models.)
The OSGeo was able to negotiate 11 more slots for a total of 20 slots! That means that both our student applications for OpenJUMP were accepted! This is great news, and it means we will actually get some "funded" work on OpenJUMP this summer. I offer my thanks and congratulations to both our students for their efforts in submitting an application and for their interest in OpenJUMP. I will post later today with what I think I will need from our two students over the summer. I want to offer them the greatest flexibility possible in implementing their projects, but will need some sort of simple system to measure their progress so I can complete all of my mentor documentation/reports for Google. Each of our students will be eligible for the $4,500 stipend from Google, while my $1000 mentor stipend will be donated to the OSGeo. Good work guys!
