[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] [Tuxmath-devel] Tux4Kids GSoC selections announced today by Google

[Schrijvers Luc]

Congrats on all those who got accepted ... to the others ... try again
next year (or if you still feel up to it you can always contribute, even
outside of gsoc)!!

Hopefully you guys will keep an eye out on platform independent code
(like the other years) or write a wrapper around the code so it doesn't
brake builds on other platforms (comming from a porter) ;)

Looking forward to seeying new things.

Luc aka Begasus

(BeOS's ports)
