Unfortunately, our application to Google Summer of Code was not 
accepted this year.

Google has never given us a reason for rejection other than 
saying that there were many more applications than available 
slots. If you look at the list of organizations year by year, I'm 
sure you'll find some that are accepted more than others, but a 
number of them make it some years and not others. I do believe 
that applications that get past an initial set of criteria, the 
application itself ceases to be a factor.

Our last acceptance to GSoC was 2019. This is our third 
consecutive rejection (we didn't apply last year). We'll try 
again next year. In the meantime, please think of potential 
projects we can include in our application and submit your ideas 
to the [project repository](https://github.com/dlang/projects).

GSoC projects are allocated anywhere from 12 weeks to 22 weeks, 
so keep that in mind when you submit your ideas. Also note that 
the same projects could be taken up by Symmetry Autumn of Code 
participants. SAOC lasts in the neighborhood of 18 weeks.

Yeah, that's unfortunate. I think that Google Summer of Code 
would be an important showcase  to the outside world. Hopefully 
dlang can make it next year.
