Summer of Code 2006

En un alarde de valentía he intentado "meter el pie" en el mundo del software libre remunerado (esto es importante) enviando varios proyectos al Summer Of Code 2006, gran iniciativa del gigante amable Google. Gran desilución cuando hoy leo en mi correo lo siguiente.

"First of all, Google and the open source organizations taking part in
the Summer of Code would like to thank for applying to take part in
this year's Summer of Code. Unfortunately, your application was not
one of those selected to take part in this year's program. Universally,
the quality of the submitted applications was very high, but we had a
limited number of slots available. This often difficult decision was
made by the organization you applied to, so any questions regarding
application selection should be directed at them.

We hope you'll consider applying next year.

Some of you may have received an email with incorrect text stating
that one of your applications was accepted. For this, we are deeply
sorry for the confusion.

Kind regards,
The Summer of Code Program Administration Team"
 Una lástima, no creo que fueran malas mis propuesta, pero habia muchas muchas, de todas formas intentaré seguir los pasos de los elegidos, me parece bastante interesante ¿Todos terminan la aplicación? Dentro del mundo del software en general hay un gran porcentaje de proyectos fallidos ¿Será menor el número en el caso del software libre?
