[tug-summer-of-code] Doing something useful, now we've been rejected

  Feel free to contact the administrators for these different projects,
if you'd like.  As for me, I would like to focus on TeX proper.  There
were projects I was interested in mentoring for TUG, had we been
accepted; now I would like to use my time by coding for them instead of
mentoring.

  I don't think there is much we can do about it.  Google mentions on
several places they can't accept all the organizations they would like
to; I don't think they're just being polite, they simply can't sponsor
each valuable project.  Applying for TUG is not an exam; failing does
not mean we weren't good candidates.  We were competing for a rather
liberal use of corporate money; the provider is entitled to arbitrary
decisions at some point (and the different organizations are not even
"investments"; Google draws not direct benefit from all these expenses).
