[Building Sakai] Google Summer of Code - students announced!

[Laura James]

Congratulations to the following students, who have all been accepted  
to Google summer of code for Sakai:

Shashank Agrawal  (in-line editor for Sakai3; lead mentor Amyas  
Phillips, assisted by Oszkar Nagy and Nicolaas Matthijs)

Andre Leger  (OpenSyllabus; lead mentor Claude Coulombe)

Yuri Vishnevsky  (Annotations system for Sakai3; lead mentor Oszkar  
Nagy, assisted by Amyas Phillips and Nicolaas Matthijs)


Also, many thanks to Ricardo Fleck, who despite not being selected for  
GSOC, has offered to work for Sakai on Workflow Integration for Sakai3  
during the summer. Ricardo is studying in Brazil and is very much on  
the UI side, and we've agreed that Amyas, Oszkar and Nicolaas will  
mentor him as if he was a GSOC student. 	

We had a good number of strong applications and unfortunately it  
wasn't possible to accept all of them. However, we hope that GSOC will  
have encouraged these and other students to learn more about Sakai and  
potentially get involved with the community and Sakai development in  
the future.

We look forward to seeing all 4 students around in the community over  
the next few weeks, and getting started thinking about the projects.

Best regards,

Laura
