[Tux4kids-discuss] Tux4Kids and GSoC 2016

[Bruna Nayara]

I'm very sorry to hear that.
I've applied to Tux4kids this year, and I wanted to know if you mentors are
able to give any feedback on the proposals you had.
I'd be glad to keep contributing to the Tux4kids community and I think gsoc
was just a mean to know you guys.
Because my proposal was not about maintaining the TuxCode previous code,
but changing it completely, I want to know if there is any interest from
Tux4kids to keep this project I've been thinking of.

Again, I'm so sorry for the Tux4kids community and the students that
applied.
