Re: [Etoile-discuss] GSoC 2009

Hi Fred,

I don't think we did a joint application last year - we each did a  
separate one.  A joint application seemed to work well for the FOSDEM  
devroom (even though none of us could make it in the end), so I'd be  
happy to do the same for the Summer of Code.

Maybe we could make a joint application for GNUstep, Étoilé, and  
opengroupware.org?  A lot of the projects that were accepted last year  
were joint applications (e.g. GNU, GNOME, KDE), so it might improve  
our chances.  Maybe GAP would like to be involved in a joint  
application as well?
