Re: gEDA-user: GSoC -- Not accepted :-(
I have recently joined another open-source, open-hardware group working on self-replicating rapid prototypers ([1]RepRap) they were also hoping to get supported in this years Google Summer of Code. And I think that they have a worthy project (and have already addicted me to trying to make and improve my own designs), but they started building an application way to late, and also missed the boat this year. Maybe next. There is still a HUGE amount of development to go.

Mike Perhaps you could teach them the virtues of using Open Source software to make their replicating robots.. gEDA (or KiCAD) over Eagle any day! Reliance on commercial / cripple-ware tools where a open alternative is available is a big fail for such an otherwise great project.

I suspect someone just flicked through the pile of applications pulling out names they recognized.. There is even one accepted organization that seems like more of a feel good social club than an open source project..
