We've just finished taking applications for Google Summer of Code™ 2008, and we're pleased to say that our mentors will be kept quite busy reviewing them for the next two weeks. We received more than 7,000 applications, compared with last year's count of 6,179; we look forward to bringing you more updates on applicant demographics over the next few days.
You can check the program home page on April 21st for a listing of all accepted student proposals for 2008. In the meantime, students should keep an eye out for communications from their would-be mentors and answer any questions they may have about your proposals. You'll likely have plenty of questions of your own, too; what better time than the present to get more involved in the communities you're investigating?

Hi Leslie,
Is it possible to get numbers by university? I did quite a bit of shameless Google SoC plugging during the months before and around the application process, and would be interested to know if any of it paid off.

We plan to publish these sorts of statistics in the coming weeks. No definite time frame yet, but thanks for the request.

Hi friends,
can any one tell me when the applications of selected students will be announced...? today is deadline but it hasn't been announced yet...
@ zunair minhas: Accepted student proposals will be announced in about 2 hours. Please see the timeline in the FAQ.
Hi Leslie,
The time's up & I don't see results put up anywhere. Can plz provide the necessary link?
@ rajath shanbag: You'll notice that the FAQ says the announcement time is approximate. We are working on the necessary changes to the web app right now. In the interim, why not join the fun in #gsoc on Freenode?
