I’ve been accepted to work for the OpenAFS organization within Google Summer of Code 2009! I’m super excited, and more in depth description of my planned project will follow, but I’m going to be trying to implement a re-order of the server lists (as OpenAFS is a distributed filesystem) by using network statistics, instead of the quasi-random way it’s done now.
Congratulations to all of the accepted students in Google Summer of Code 2009, and best of luck.
To those students who haven’t been accepted into the program, chin up! It’s not that you’re not capable, or that your application wasn’t good. Nor is it likely the case that your organization doesn’t want you. Summer of Code was scaled back this year, as a whole, which means less students were accepted over all. I’m sure your organization would love to have you still, and you should definitely talk ot them, and express interest in still working on your project.
