Mar 13, 2007: Arabeyes applies to GSoC
Arabeyes is pleased to announce that it intends to participate, for the first time, in Google's Summer-of-Code (GSoC) program. Arabeyes submitted its application in hopes of attaining permission to become a 'Mentoring Organization'. Google will look over our application and suggested projects/tasks to see if we fit their criteria after which "students" should be able to apply (Note: we were rather unfortunately not picked). We'd like to thank Djihed Afifi for taking the initiative to make this happen as well as all those that participated and helped on Arabeyes' various mailing-lists. For further discussions please use the 'general' or 'developer' mailing-lists.
