on their successful proposals.

They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to 
turn down a number of very good proposals.  Perhaps we should 
have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots.

I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these 
students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these 
students achieve success in the coming months.

Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in 
evaluating the proposals to this point.

To the students, please post github repos when ready!
I want to keep track.

Hi.

My name is Wojciech Szęszoł, and I'm one of the students accepted 
for GSOC 2016. Here is my proposal 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19u_4c22kRwU6S-Sh9GPeDz3VropCS562WXYHNsRe
sY/edit?usp=sharing . Congratulations for other students that were accepted.
And thanks for all the people that helped me to successfully apply for
participation in this year GSOC. I hope I will not disappoint you.

Congratulations to everyone involved -- this is really good news!

 Science for D - a non-uniform RNG


For obvious reasons, I'm particularly interested in this one.  Do 
I take it right that the project will be based on this research 
paper?
http://epub.wu.ac.at/3158/1/techreport-110.pdf

I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this 
project, if that would be welcome.

Personally I'm a little sad that the flatbuffers project was 
rejected -- it would have made an interesting complement to the 
existing protocol buffers library, dproto.


 I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these 
 students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these 
 students achieve success in the coming months.

 Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in 
 evaluating the proposals to this point.


This is fantastic work -- thank you everyone!

Please have a look at my post in the newsgroup for a better 
explanation of the project.

Yep it will be (at least according to our current plan). Sorry 
for the informality, Tinflex is the "reference" implementation of 
this method.


 I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this 
 project, if that would be welcome.


It would not only be welcome, it would be highly appreciated! 
What is the easiest way to stay in touch with you? Do you want to 
join our libmir Gitter chat room?

Joseph.  If you are interested in becoming a mentor (ideally each 
project has multiple mentors) I may still be able to add you to 
our GSoC mentors list. Ilya (Sebastian's mentor) is the lead 
mentor on the project, but having a second mentor is valuable.

If you are interested email me and I will see what we can do:

Hi Craig,

I'm very interested, but concerned about general ability to 
consistently commit time.  I'll email you so that we can follow 
up on this.

Thanks & best wishes,
