Google SoC 2007

written by Mickey on 2007-04-12

OpenMoko is a mentoring organization for the Google Sommer of Code 2007. We received 60 student project applications (minus a few duplicates) and since a whole lot of projects were exciting, it was very tough to rank them. Unfortunately we only got assigned three project slots from Google -- if we perform well this year, then we might get more next year.
Anyway, here is the list of accepted projects:

  [OpenMoko Music Player core application development](http://code.google.com/soc/openmoko/appinfo.html?csaid=4B963C4F3F275D36)

I'm looking forward to mentor my two students to get a successful project and contribution to the OpenMoko Software Platform done.

To all who didn't make it this year: Thanks for all your proposals and please try again next year -- although if all goes well, we might just contact some of you to realize your ideas in a "private" OpenMoko SoC :-)
